On average I have always received it in 30 to 35 calendar days. Not sure why you have not received yours. I requested one more on August 17. Will update when I receive it. Try googling ATIP online request. The first link should guide you through the process of requesting it in detail.

Hello, I misspoke. I submitted it on July 29th. I should have received it by now. I sent another request yesterday, so lets see what happens.

Received mine as well and they didn't really say anything either. Limbo continues.

Going by the spreadsheet, it looks like a good number of test invites went out in May and June, and then that slowed to a trickle in July and August. Case workers on summer vacation slowed things down maybe, meaning things will start picking up again?

Did you submit webform on asking on it?

I did ask for an update on Jun 10th, and got a response Jun 16th. It looked like a very standard response they are sending out. I will send another webform today and will see if they give me the same response.

Good day xxx,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Your application to become a Canadian citizen (grant of citizenship) is still in process.

At this time, all required documents and information have been received by the responsible office.

Due to COVID-19, IRCC is experiencing processing delays and we can't give accurate processing times for most types of applications. We're currently prioritizing applications from people who are exempt from travel restrictions.

We understand that this may be a difficult time for you and we are here to assist you by providing you with the information we have available at this time.

We invite you to visit our website to:

• Check your application status,
  • the Client Support Centre agents cannot give you more information than what is available in the Client Application Status tool,
• See where we're at with :
  • sending the acknowledgement of reception letters,
    • the date posted on our website is updated weekly,
  • processing during the pandemic,
    • the date posted on our website is updated weekly,
    • it is determined by looking at the applications we recently made a final decision on,
    • we then calculate the average date that we received those applications.

If an application is complex, it may take us longer to process it. It will also take longer to process an application if we need you to submit extra documents.

Rest assured that we are making all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible, and that you will be informed when a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.

IRCC is working on giving you the most updated information as the situation evolves, and all our efforts are dedicated to answering your concerns. Our website is updated regularly as more information is made available.

Given these circumstances, we invite you to continue visiting our website regularly to receive up-to-date information as new announcements are made and to obtain information on travel restrictions and changes to our services that may affect you.

We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
