October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[Andrijana]

Anyone took a citizenship test from abroad? I took a test abroad with an explicit permission from my testing centre. They did ask to inform them about my return to Canada and to submit a proof.
Test taken: Jan 10
Test marked complete: Jan 15
Returned to Canada and submitted a proof to ircc: Jan 29
All in all, no update on the application since January 15

Did you take your citizenship test? It's not in your list...

No, I am over 55

@Kiranmayi
Did you consult a lawyer before applying? This is a good example when legal advice would be beneficial because it's a non routine application.

Hi, No. I applied based on their response on my previous application 'Submit New application'. I submitted new application with all details

Hi All,

All steps completed except Physical Presence which was updated to in-progress on Jan.14 th and Feb.7th again. No update since Feb.7th on Physical presence - no additional details requested. When I called IRCC they said nothing pending from my side and everything looks fine. Is anyone in the similar situation?

AOR: Nov.4th
Test Completed: Jan.3rd
Test Updated on Tracker: Jan.14th
Language Completed: Feb.7th
Prohibitions Completed: Feb.7th
Physical Presence updated to in-progress: Feb.7th

Lots of people from Jan are also waiting as far as I’ve seen. My LPP completed Jan 29th, no oath yet. Oaths seem to have slowed down.

I created a contact in my iPhone called IRCC with this contact number:

(888) 242-2100,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,,[YOUR_UCI_HERE]#,,1,,1,,1,,4,,1,,1

This will get you directly to the citizenship inquiry line. Replace [YOUR_UCI_HERE] with your UCI, numbers only.

Will this work for Android too? What's the significance of comma's?

Commas are pauses. It will work for Android, but the commas may need to be adjusted. It seems like it's about a 3 second delay on iPhone on iOS 18. I found an Apple page saying it was 2 seconds, but I measured it to be about 3. If your Android phone pauses for a comma aren't 3 seconds, you'll need to adjust the wait.

The initial wait is about 63 seconds if that helps you calibrate.

Go now. No-one can say how long the LPP will take, and if you get the invitation to oath ceremony, it will usually be with 2-3 weeks notice - so unless you're planning a super-long trip, no issue. And worst case, you can fly back to Canada for your ceremony, and apply on urgent basis for passport.

Thanks for the advise. I just might just do that.

I had an interview yesterday at Scarborough office at the end of which the officer said he has no concern, and I will receive the oath email soon. However, except BG and test (which had been passed weeks ago), the remainder of my application is still in progress. Does one know how long will that take, in such a situation, to get all other points green?

Yeah exactly, I’m seeing people with LPP after ours get their oaths but no sign of our oath. Did you reach out to IRCC?
