Is it good idea if security still in processes for over two month although criminality cleared immediately after submitting the requested FP , to sent a copy of all passport pages with entry and exit stamp although I have only one trip since moving to Canada within the last three years to my county for short visit ,but one year from landing to moving lived there as well , would that help to faster the process or no , I applied paper and didn’t know untill after I sent my application that with paper have to submit all pages of passport , I submitted only the BIO but never was asked , I am done with test , BG waiting for security
Don't send any docs till they ask you to do so
 
I got a couple questions for you guys. I applied as family, and my wife failed her citizenship test.
Looks like they will send a new test invitation later... Any idea how long that usually takes? I know the website mentions 4-8 weeks, but that doesn't mean it's the average.
Based on the website info, I guess mine will probably proceed without hers unless I ask them to hold it?



Test Invitation: June 27, 2023
Test Window: June 30 - July 20
Test Completed: July 1 (waiting for it to get updated on tracker)

You have that wrong, oath is 4 to 6 months after you passed the citizenship test - see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...me-canadian-citizen/citizenship-ceremony.html. If everything is green and good to go, it shouldn't take 3 or 4 months for the oath. That's just crazy. But if you prefer to not actively follow-up with IRCC, then by all means wait. Let them take 19 months to process your application.

I passed my citizenship test almost 9 months ago. Still no update to 3 sections and no oath invitation.Have not been told there are any concerns

Welcome to the real world.

Your comment will make me feel better in 7 months from now when everything remains stuck on my end.

you’re probably better off than I am. Many people who applied long after me got their citizenship already, many within a year.

That's the thing. Those who applied and got their citizenship already survived, the rest is going to wait for a while. Doesn't matter when you applied, if you did not get yours within 5 months, you will get it after many months. Some are lucky, some are not.

I wish it was just 5 months instead of 15/16 months. Good luck with yours. Hopefully you get better luck than me!
