November 2021 - Citizenship applications
- Thread starter canvisa001
- Start date
I found this article, it may help anyone who is curious or wants to know why exactly the processing time has now more than doubled. Something I don't quite understand yet is that many applications from previous months (August and September) are now seeing a lot of progress. I beleive that this may apply to future applications but if anyone knows otherwise, it would be much appreciated if you shared what you know.

I talked to an agent today and he told me it applied to future applicants. Hopefully he was right.

Why have processing times changed for some applications types?
On March 31, 2022, we updated the processing times tool to more accurately show how long it may take to process your application.
Before, it showed our service standards, which are our commitment to processing your application under normal circumstances. Service standards are not updated regularly.
Most permanent residence and citizenship services now show processing times that are updated every week, based on data from the previous 6 months.
"processing times" tell you how long it took to process most complete applications in the past. They’re updated weekly.
Service standards are our commitments to process your application in a certain amount of time under normal circumstances. They aren’t updated regularly. Not all programs have service standards.
