Hello,
I have a question:
I got my test approved on tracker on 12 Sept, do you think it will be possible to get citizenship and then passport before 28 Oct?
As I'm traveling out of country on 28 Oct.
Please share any insight if available.
Details in my signature.
Thank you.
Honestely it is very unlikely.

Has anyone noticed that Ontario applications are progressing slowly? Or is it just me?
Seems random to me. Some are extremely slow, and some have already got oath invite. I'm in the slow boat. No update since August 16, 2023. Completed my test on August 30, 2023. Has not been updated on the tracker, everything is in progress.

They tend to not reply for things which does not matter for your application. Marriage also is one of it.

Things which matter -

Above info from - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/after-apply-next-steps.html

You can always call IRCC and check.
Thank you so much for replying.

I honestly believe it is just random luck. In which "pile" your application ends up sitting. I applied in early June and haven't received any update after AOR. So nobody has even opened my application yet. Whereas, some people that applied later already have been invited to the oath.

Has anyone noticed that Ontario applications are progressing slowly? Or is it just me?

Applied June 6, got aor July 7, background check completed July 17, since then absolutely frustrating silence. It’s truly getting very hard to even get slight excitement for those, who applied 2-4 weeks later and already became citizens..

This is an honest statement and totally valid. Unfortunately there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how applications are processed. Perhaps a complete overhaul of the system needs to be looked at, to include enhancing technology so that there can be increased transparency. I called an agent last speak. Spoke to an amazing guy, there is nothing holding up the application it’s just waiting on the agent…

I strongly believe there should be the FIFO methodology and only in those cases where a further deep dive is required those may take some time.

Hold strong!

I took my test on Aug 25th and marked as completed on the 29th and no further updates since :( . Should I be worried?

Yeah, the system is quite frustrating and they should review it at some point. How did you manage to talk with an agent?
