November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[PianoTiger]

A lot of people in this timeline would also have applied for PR back in mid 2018 and moved to the US. Here's a Whatsapp group for people who moved from US to Canada during that time...

Happy to see so many files from November are getting their decisions, and soon with get to the Oath ceremonies, but a little disheartened that my application is still stuck in limbo since Feb 21st, I guess there is no chronological order that's followed. Guess will keep on waiting, can't do anything else.

Found another one of my tests.
IELTS Academic test 11/SEP/2021
All scores are greater than 6.
IRCC will accept for citizenship? The test was taken in Canada.

No they don't accept IELTS academic.
Celpip general LS is the cheapest option.
What did you submit initially?

Hi, i noticed in the ECAS, that after LLP is completed for my spouse, it updated the Mailing address to the one that was at time of applying for PR (Representative address). I didn't declared any representative in the Citizenship application. Is it normal or should i raise web form to update it ?

Is your LPP marked as complete? If so, when - I'll update the spreadsheet. Is your ECAS showing Decision Made?

not yet marked complete. It’s only updated for my wife. But mine still shows in progress.

No, ECAS shows in process as well.
