Thank you! Any idea how long it takes from this to the Ceremony invitation?

The vast majority of people receive the oath invite in less than a month, but a very small but growing minority takes longer, sometimes a few months.

I received my Canadian passport today in just 6 working days! I'm shocked at their speed honestly!

Congrats! Wow, that is amazing. Glad that passport processing has caught up on all the backlog and become efficient. You didn't request expedited service?

Hi folks, please see my timeline above. There has been little activity since my citizenship test in Feb 2022. They asked for additional information 7 months later in Oct 2022 and then disappeared again. I feel there is something wrong with either Niagara Falls office or June 2021 applicants. A friend of mine applied 1 week after me and he already got his passport in July 2022. My younger brother applied in Nov 2021 and he also got his passport in Nov 2022. I am really worried with what these people are up-to regarding my application.

Similar timeline here. People from June 2021 giving updates from time to time, that's the only thing keeping my hope up!

BTW, I don't think anyone is updating June 2021 spreadsheet anymore. I'm happy to scan the thread and do that, if any admin is reading this.

Just request edit permission for 2021 spreadsheet and add a note if required... and admin should give you access

Oh, so still not out of the woods yet... And 5 months left to hit the current average processing time of 24 months. Unimaginable...

Yeah it seems that the spreadsheet for June 2021 has not been updated since at least September

It's very likely that you will get your oath invite any day now, but yes, unfortunately there is a small chance that you might be delayed again like I was.
It's really unfair how 2022 paper applicants have been completing the process in 3-6 months, while many of the rest of us have waited much longer. While I am grateful to have finally gotten citizenship a few months back, the unusually long delay to get the oath invite made it late enough that I had to put off and change plans for another year ... and now I am feeling the suffering

Unthinkable... My wife applied in August 2022 and we're joking she'll become a citizen sooner or at least at the same time.

MB/SK offices are super slow. Took oath on January 10, 2023 and sent the oath form same day...but file is still open. I don't know when they will send the citizenship certificate and when this long journey will end...Very frustrating

You're almost there!
 
Received my application on June 2021
Test completed on Mar 2022
Everything is In progress now
Around 11 months nothing changed
Practically the same here, except for BG completed. But that should expire on January 25 anyway and go back to In Progress.
