Im afraid ours takes longer . I still don't understand the procedure are we forgotten or what.. Why the delay for some of us is longer than many of others.

Hi, my citizenship application was received by Mississauga office on 1st Feb 2018. After delaying a move to Seattle USA to receive my Canadian passport I have now given up on the wait since it’s already past a year. What I want to know that when I do receive the confirmation for document verification and oath can I change that to Vancouver location? Can I do anything prior to ensure I can carry out the rest of Process in Vancouver? I do not want then to change the application processing office to Vancouver as that would delay the process further

Moving your application to Vancouver will definitely delay the process no matter which stage you chose to do it. Seniors would be able to comment better I guess. It's tricky cause on one it may cause a further delay, on the other hand, you will have to pay hundreds of dollars in flight costs if you chose to fly from Seattle to Mississauga.

Not necessarily... Vancouver office seems to move much faster than Mississauga office from what's shared by forum members in related threads...

Yeah but at this stage, moving offices would delay the application. Doesn't matter which office you change to. But my information is limited so you might be right.
