January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[hakk723]

based on mid 2024 data (taking a lot longer for them), they are making approximations I feel

Jan is the fastest IMO

So you're saying it's possible that new applications are being cleared faster than the backlog? Seems weird but fingers crossed lol

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.

Since then:

Test invite: Feb 27
Background complete: Feb 25
Test taken: Mar 9 (19/20)
Test status updated in tracker to complete: Mar 13

Waiting for LPP and oath now. Hope I can get them before the end of May! Oh and also, don't know the office that's processing (AOR mentioned Sydney).
