January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[Lavenaa]

And I am done! Did the oath in person today at the Scarborough office. Very nice ceremony, all the staff were amazing! Overall it took about 1.5 hrs from check-in till end of the ceremony. Received paper citizenship certificate at the end. Was told to wait at least until Wednesday next week to apply for the passport.

Good luck everyone, you're almost there!

Congratulations on attaining this huge milestone! Do you recall how long it took to get an invitation for your oath ceremony and how long after receiving the invite was it scheduled? My LPP was completed yesterday and I'm trying to plan for my Oath Ceremony. Thanks for your time!

I finally received ghost update today. LPP still in progress. But I had also applied for GCMS notes 45 days ago, but haven't received them yet. Is ghost update precursor to anything?

Same here! I got ghost update today. When I called, I was told my LPP was completed. When I called two weeks ago, LPP was still in progress! The end is near!

I got a ghost update today. Which number did you call on? I think these numbers don't work from the US. I have relocated to the US 10 days after applying for the Canadian citizenship. I just need a number that I can call and inquire.

Sometimes GCMS notes request do trigger ghost update as an entry is made in the file that you requested one.

I assume I should get something at least in a fee days - either gcms notes or an action on the application. Is that correct?
