May 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[newcitiz911]

Online applications (single) are even the ones been delayed. Again no logical explanations why online applications are so slow. One will think the reverse should have been the case

nothing is logic in their approach and no transparency

Yes! Just saw the update today from Jan 6 - Oath ceremony scheduled for Jan 21, 2022. No emails yet.

Is your application with Mississauga office?

Hi Guys,

Please update the tracker. I got citizenship oath ceremony invitation today for Jan 22, 2021.

Please update the tracker for me. Thanks!

May we know which local office is processing your application? Thanks

Congrats! May I know the IRCC office sending this test invite? It should be in the subject line of your test invite email.
I wonder if they are sending these tests in batches. I got my test from Niagra Falls office for Dec 24 to Jan 13 and now you got Jan 14 to Feb 3 and so on.

Hello!

My test window is also Jan 14 to Feb 03 and I got the invite from Scarborough office I think. Has SCR in the email. Thanks!

Got the invite for the Virtual Oath Ceremony last night. The email was from CIC-Mississauga-Citizenship@cic.gc.ca. It was very easy to miss.
Please search with 'cic.gc.ca' in your inbox as well as spam/junk.

Hopefully this helps.

Note 1: What is also helpful towards the end stages is your location. For example, if you see folks from 'Mississauga' getting test invites 90 days after In process status in ECAS, you can expect similar timelines for yourself.
Note 2: I personally feel the AOR to IP average is skewed since a lot of folks consider In Process Status in Application Tracker as In Process Status in ECAS, which is not the same. Then again, online applicants don't have ECAS access. Please take that into consideration while looking at averages.

I am a paper applicant but not sure what you mean by ECAS, I only use the application tracker
