Hi I am visiting from the July 2023 thread. How is the Scarborough office in terms of speed of processing? I heard it is the slowest office. How soon after the "test complete" showed up are you seeing updates on your application?

Hi everyone,

My AOR is 20 June, I completed everything except Citizenship ceremony, it's NOT STRARTED status. Last update was on 18 Sep., online application, Sydney. The official processing time is 18 months, so I was wandering if I have to wait more than an year for the ceremony? Any ideas?

How did you switch from online to in person?
As I remember, on the online application there is an option to select how do you wanna get the citizenship certificate and ceremony as online in person. I choose in-person ceremony and receive the citizenship certificate physically. I did not change anything since I lodged the online application.

Typically, people have been receiving their Oath invites anywhere from a few days to a month and a half after all other processes are marked as complete. So I do not believe you would have to wait for that long. I know of a couple of cases where the invite was sent after three months.

Sorry to bug you again!! So I got the invite with zoom link and seat number…! I’ve read on Facebook that some ppl get instructions how to download their certificate because they indicated in their application they wanted the e-certificate! I don’t recall being asked such question when I applied. From what you’re saying is that the officer at the ceremony will ask what I prefer? Please be patient with me, lol
You must've forgotten that question, because its in the application (Question 17). I don't think they ask you, they confirm your option selected- maybe at that point you can say you want an e-certificate and they will send you the email with the instructions?

I would call as soon as possible and ask if they can send you an invitation to create your profile for the e-certificate. Basically you need this - CIT 0090, call and ask for that specific document. The yellow arrow points to your personal invitation code that you need to setup the profile.

I am a PR applying for citizenship soon. Does marital status have any impact on citizenship application if you are just applying for yourself? My fiance is an Indian citizen.
