June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[FlyingNube]

I got a quick question:

I have a business trip scheduled in 2 weeks. However, I moved from BC to AB + became Canadian recently so I have 0 photo-IDs remaining other than my old BC health card (not expired). The AB Health card has no photo, my PR card has been cut up and I have no Driver's License. Can I use my BC Health card still for air travel or would the airline somehow know Im no longer a BC resident and reject it?

If you are flying domestic then yes you can use.

Hi senior members. I have a question. How long does it take from closing the file to get the citizenship certificate by mail? If they close the file, does it mean that they shipped the certificate?

My Ceremony was on a Tuesday. File closed on Wednesday, got the certificate the following Tuesday. Some people who had the ceremony on the same day as I did even got their certificates on Friday.

My guess is that when the file is closed the certificates are mailed that day, or the next and then it depends on Canada Post how fast you get it.

What is your processing office? People have usually been scheduled for oath between 1 day and 2-3 weeks after DM, but it seems that many IRCC offices are taking longer recently, maybe because many people have gotten DM lately and immigration officers are taking summer vacations. My tracker was last updated June 13 also saying everything except oath set to Completed as of June 10, and I'm waiting and waiting impatiently. But there are some people who have been waiting with DM since December, so apparently the answer is we can be scheduled for oath between tomorrow and maybe 6+ months from now

the last chapter is closed! The oath ceremony was on last Friday (Should be added to the calendar as Roger's Day!). I got the certificates today. it was quiet fast it might have arrived even earlier since I haven't checked the mail all week. Good luck to you all and thanks for all the help and support
The whole process took exactly 1 year and a month
