January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[Totodonna]

Good Morning Its been one week I got my AOR but i am still unable to register for tracker as its says
Application not found in the system
can any one guide me

You should try until it works, in my case I tried several times, only worked when i copied the numbers from the letter instead of typing them myself, idk why. For my husband it worked by typing them several times... Its random i guess.

I did the test on Friday February 21st and my tracker now shows test completed.

They wrongly requested a PCC from my home country which I provided because it was easier that way. I received the below email confirming receipt of documents on February 15th but the tracker still says they're waiting on documents from me.

Please do not reply to this email.​

Good day, Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).​

We acknowledge receipt of the documents. Please note, for technical reasons, they may not be visible in your online account. Rest assured that your supporting documents are indeed added and available for officer review.​ If your enquiry was solely to provide documents, please note this is the only response you will receive. If your enquiry included additional questions in addition to the documents, they will be addressed separately, as soon as possible. While your application is being processed, we recommend consulting the Check your application status.​

Sincerely, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html​

Does anyone know how long they normally take to review and process these documents?

Yes it is a good sign because you will not receive a finger print request. Finger print request adds more waiting time to the process.

Application: Single
Application sent: 2025-01-21
Delivered: 2025-01-21
AOR: 2025-02-04

Originally sent the application on January 8th, but it was returned on Jan 21 because they rejected my proof of language, even though it was a letter from one of the best universities of Canada confirming I was a registered student. Anyway, I re-applied with more proof (transcript) on Jan 21 and it's been accepted now. AOR arrived this morning.

One question, what do I need to do to sign up for the tracker? There was nothing mentioned in the AOR letter or email.

Update:

Citizenship Test: 7 March
Background Verification Complete: 25 Feb

Considering I pass the test, and background is complete, what would be the expected date for the oath in line with recent trends? (looking to book summer vacations lol)

Hi
After how many days test updated in your tracker to complete??

 

[BienCanada]

Test taken on Feb 22nd and tracker shows today Feb 26th that it was marked completed on Feb 24th.

Got FP request and the office requesting it is Vancouver. Does it mean that my application is going to go on the snail pace track now? I live in Ontario so no idea why it has moved to Vancouver.

After providing your fingerprints, give it 3 weeks for the tracker to show Background completed. That is what I saw for one applicant, during this month of Feb. He gave fingerprints on Feb 6 at RCMP and later today which is Feb 26, his tracker said background completed.
