Help needed: Anyone in similar situation?

[MW1PK]

Hi all,

I submitted our online citizenship application back in November 2022. It's been radio silence since Feb 2023 and a lot of folks who applied after me have received their citizenship certificate already. I submitted an online request for information through the AITP portal three weeks ago and haven't heard from there either. Is there anything else I can do to find out the status of my application? Below are my timelines:

Couple application
Application filed: Nov 24, 2022
Background verification completed: Jan 25, 2023
Citizenship test invitation: Jan 25, 2023
Citizenship test completed: Feb 21, 2023.
No updates since then.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Call and webform. But as you are well within the processing timelines don't expect too much from it. For 2022 many offices take ~12 months for completion. Better to check your processing with other applicants from similar office.

If you have followed the forum for some time, you would have noticed that some cities like Mississauga are notorious for long processing times. A friend applied from Hamilton was done in 6 months which included the application being returned once for some missing docs.

Plenty of people from earlier 2022 and ever 2021 are still waiting. Your timeline seems totally normal.

ATIP takes 30+ days to get.
