I had a dream that England brought home the world cup trophy the same day I received my AOR! :p unfortunately I have to wait 4 years for the cup , but hopeful that I'll get my AOR soon!

Does anyone know once the ball starts rolling how long the avg time is between test and oath ceremony? I received an offer to apply for an amazing 12 month contract back in the UK, but I dont want to mess up my chances of getting citizenship by going back and taking it. I'm in Edmonton if that makes a difference.

Survey has nothing to do with Citizenship application. It is randomly sent to people who got PR in last 5 years or so.

Thanks so much!

June were expedited processing requests, May was citizen by descent app
Please note that they open applications faster under urgent processing. Envelopes have to be marked URGEN

Looking at the minimum and maximum processing cycles, it seems that within 5 months from processing start date, an oath is most likely scheduled for routine applications. So, add 6-7 months from the date of application receipt and this is the normal time. As mentioned earlier, the CIC agent told me that more staff is being onboarded to clear backlog due to upcoming elections. Expect faster processing in the second half of the year.

Thanks,
Note that looking at the statistics for mid 2018, the application AOR timeline from date of receipt was around 30 days, but the processing start date was 60 days from that. Since April, the AOR timeline is 60 days and the processing start date is also around 60 days. Basis this, calculate your timeline for processing. Average processing completion for Citizenship applications in 2017 was 217 days total from the date of mailing to oath. I do hope that they will maintain this overall timeline inspite of the lag between AOR and processing.

Hopefully, Thanks.
But I have a question, if anyone's application is returned, how they are being informed? By email or just application folder will be sent back to home address?
You will get an email and then receive the complete application pack by snail mail.
