December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[anjish0106]

I submitted my citizenship application in the first week of December and completed the exam at the end of February. However, I have not yet received the Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) or any further updates, which prevents me from tracking the status of my application but i when i logged in my ircc account, i still see "
Status of your application: Submitted for our review"
Is there any way I can verify the progress of my application or where it is stucked?

Have you tried to create the tracker account here: https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/dashboard
The email that you received to take your test has both your UCI and your Application Number which are required to create the account. It could be possible that the AOR email may have skipped your inbox.

Yes, I tried to create a tracker account, but it is not letting me. Giving error - "Incorrect or invalid information. If you can’t create an account, it may be because your client’s application is not in our system yet. " and it says you can only create an account if you received AOR" :|

MY question to the guys who already completed oath. I sent an signed oath form as per the instructions and it state include your app num and family name. I include my last name.

After I sent an email I receive following automatic reply:

This mailbox should only be used to provide documentation such as your signed oath form or to provide a reasonable explanation for missing or being unable to attend a scheduled Citizenship event (with documentary evidence). To facilitate the processing of your request, you must include your full name and citizenship application number. Please resubmit your enquiry if your original email did not contain this information.

DO I need to include my full name in subject line? I am confused now

Will appreciate comments if someone who already received e certificate as per the instructions email. Thank you.

I have been asked to appear for an interview with the citizenship officer on Apr 28th. What are the things that I need to watch out for? I have kept original documents like Passport, ID cards, Educational documents etc. Any pointers on what documents should i carry (original or prints). See below for the text in the letter for citizenship interview.

I had the citizenship interview on Apr 28. Today I see my LPP status has changed to Completed. I am now waiting for the Citizenship Ceremony to start.

How was the interview? Would help others to share how it went / what they looked at / what they showed interest in? Or was it all just routine quick check?

It was a quick interview. got completed within 10 mins. The officer just asked for IDs (PR, DL, Health card), old and current passport. The officer asked where I worked. Since my employer's office is in BC, i said i work remotely from Ontario.

This does sound like the 'random control' check, where they sample (like an audit technique) to identify any anomalies (and related risks). (And they would do this in full knowledge that most of the time, they don't find any relevant or material ones - leaving some statistical measures). The few questions/discussion could be significant, possibly light-touch check of language facility / normal reaction - or it could just be human tendency to chat. (They may have instructions on topics they're not supposed to discuss, too)

Anyway glad it went well

Now that all steps are complete and only oath is pending, I have two questions.
1. When can i expect my citizenship ceremony to start i.e. when my oath ceremony process will be started
2. When will the oath be scheduled? From now until 15 days, 1 month, two months etc.

Glancing at tracker - relatively typical is 1-4 weeks before you get some info about oath ceremony. Oath ceremony is most commonly 10-30 days after that. Caveat, this is my quick summary from a limited glance at data - if anyone thinks they know better, fine by me, but I doubt will provide additional useful info. And because of that limitation: don't freak if it takes somewhat longer, and you won't likely be disappointed. I hope.

So frustrating when you see others who applied later, have to do exams, provide finger prints, do interviews and still get their oath advice quicker...

Right? Congrats to those who are done and almost done… but really… the easy ones shouldn’t take this long… can you update here when you get a nudge on your file please

Citizenship ceremony started today itself. Oath scheduled for May 13th. Remaining updates have been very quick after the citizenship interview.

I wish I can get an interview at this point from Vancouver office lol, it feels like they just put my file away for no reason. I honestly think my file maybe non-routine but it is fairly straightforward, I didn't leave the country in 3 years or whatsoever. the more i see other's progress, the more anxious i became.
