We don't have many data points on minors applying alone. Since they are exempt from the test, the rigor of their verification process is still unclear to me. You may have to call IRCC and check the progress.
July 2024 - Citizenship Application
- Thread starter joban_92
- Start date
There are also two different procedures, kids applying on basis of their own residency, or applying on basis of being a PR and a citizen-parent.
But in either case (from my limited experience with the latter scenario), not enough data and no reason to believe substantially different from citizenship grants for adults. (Probably fewer 'long-tail' ones that drag out for much longer due to security clearance hold-ups)
