Best to look at the threads for the most recent months, March and April. I'd say recently has been more like three weeks (looking at march). Consider 2-4 weeks normal.
January 2025 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter forw.jane
- Start date
The Niagara office is also processing my application. LPP completed 19th March (updated 21st March in tracker) but Oath has been pending since then. No further update till date
AOR Feb 4, test passed 11 March. We might hear something back in April for LPP but can't be sure.
January applicants are still super early in the timeframe. I'm just starting to see a lot of applicants from Nov-Dec 2024 getting their LPP done in these couple of weeks. There are several Jan applications that got processed faster than usual, but those are exceptions, not the norm.
something like that, end of April we should start seeing some movement.
Saw this comment in the FB group:
I wonder if this is part of the reason that progress for January applicants has slowed down? Will we see longer process times now? I guess only time will tell.

There is no definitive answer. Typically the AOR comes from Sydney office. Language test it seems may be from the local office (Have seen following on the online forums .. Scarborough, Niagara Falls, Edmonton, Vancouver).
LPP is mostly Vancouver.
For the oath it's mostly the office near the applicant.
January 2025 applications are literally dead. I have a friend who is a Dec 2024 applicant and has all his tracker items turned green almost a month ago, no movement or no oath for him as well. I don't know what is going on inside IRCC but it seems all citizenship applications slowed down significantly at final stages.
