September 2023 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter forw.jane
- Start date
Hi. In my case, it takes one week. But as you know each case is unique.
Hey everyone!
I'm thrilled to share that my journey to obtaining Canadian citizenship has finally come to an end. It's been exactly six months since I applied, and today I was able to download the e-certificate. I couldn't have done it without all of your help, advice, and shared experiences. Your support made what could have been a stressful journey much smoother for me.
A huge thank you to every one of you, especially @forw.jane , for creating and leading this thread(and many other threads!), as well as many others covering different topics. Following the experiences and advice of other applicants truly makes a difference compared to navigating the process blindly.
My advice to others would be to follow the instructions and learn from the experiences and timelines shared by others. There's no need to rush through the process, like calling IRCC or sending a request to get data unless something unexpected happens or there's a significant delay. Patience is key.
I wish everyone in this group, and others, a smooth journey through their respective processes.
Good luck to all!
