January 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[akif9211]

Hello everyone

I am in a unique situation and need your advice

I applied for Citizenship in January 2023 as a family application (2 adults and 1 kid)

here is my time line

Application sent 6 Jan
AOR 16 Feb
Day in Canada 1200+
Background completed 5 Apr
Scheduled for test 12 Apr
Test completed and updated 5 May

Currently: LPP is in progress since then and no update after that and my office is Mississauga, Ontario

Question #1) I am traveling 18th Nov 2023 and our PR cards have already expired 2 months ago, I am wondering should we apply for PR card renewal (3 month processing time) or we still have enough time to get Canadian passports in time for travel ?

Question #2)if I request urgent processing do you guys think they will entertain my request in this situation?

thanks in Advance

Good idea!

@rushi.gada, @shiremag would you please add that I had passport(s) request on May 30th, sent on May30th as well.

I have a feeling that your application will reach Decision soon. Passport request is always a good thing, and at least they have your file being worked on .. Plus, west coast is on fire!!

Hey,

Q1. It's really never clear how soon your application will get approved and while there is a good chance that by Nov you and your family might have your Canadian passports, I would probably keep my PR card renewed for any unforeseen situations.

Q2. Urgent requests are normally defined under the IRCC website as jobs, medical or death of a family etc. You could always try, but I don't think it will help.

Hang in there, Mississauga office is on Snooze mode and should wake up any day!

Hello Folks!


I noticed an error on the country of residence (COR) on my recent GCMS notes; they put my country of nationality even though I've never lived there. I just sent a webform.


Do you think this is the reason behind the delay in my application?

6-9 months From what date , in process in ecase which was April 14 , or from email requesting FP was May 2 or from received and clear criminality which was June 8

Roughly from the date they stated your security

Roughly from the date they stated your security

How I figured out that date , GCMS note IRCC , security part is blank , I just ordered CBSA and CSIS hopefully will show that date

From CBSA notes , what does it say in location in your IRCC notes ?

Yes, I'm in the same situation. My security started on March 10th and it's still in process. FP received and criminality completed on Apr 18th.
unfortunately its going to be a bit of a wait. And yes CBSA notes will show when your security started. Its been 3 months and 20 days for me, as @Cpwr mentioned we might be looking at 6 months+

From CBSA notes , what does it say in location in your IRCC notes ?
