September 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[cool_eagle]

Hi all

I need Urgent help, I am kinda new in thes form haven't used it much so excuse me if I am not following all the steps

Sep 11 Citizenship allocating submitted online
Oct 21 Acknowledgement receipt from IRCC
Nov 08 Fingerprints and citizenship test requested
Nov 10 Fingerprints given
Nov 15 Test passed, tracker updated it



When i go on tracker, it's still processing language skills and physical presence. I haven't revived any update yet on these two things. When i applied my application online I only provided my education credentials s a transcript from New Zealand for language skills, and that transcript was issued a free years back.


Issue is, my dad's heart is only working 25% but it's in a stable condition atm and he is in India. I wouldn't know when i go would i be able to come back in a year, my sister went to assist my dad. Please help me, when should i expect to have Citizenship granted. If it's going to be within a month than I'll wait.

It depends on the office which is processing your application. If it is Vancouver, Montreal, Niagra, you can expect decision made within a month. For scarborough office, people are claiming here that they havn't heard anything after LPP update (even on 9th November). You should be able to decipher the office name from the email address of test invite. For Missisuaga office, I think you have probability of 50-50, and for Scarborough office, probability less than 50 percent that your decision is made within one month.

Hello, I understand you are going through a difficult period, but let me give you my opinion
--Depending on your office processing the application, it could follow the trend seen on the [CanadaVisa Tracker] , or it may not. Some people have got their decision letter and oath date within 3 days of LPP complete. Others, for example, in the Mississauga and Scarbrough offices are facing delays.
--Nobody can accurately predict when your file will be decided upon.
-- I say go visit your father and relieve the burden on your sister. If the oath invite comes while you are in India, you can immediately raise a webform to IRCC and explain the situation and upload proof if at all necessary and ask for a revised date.
--If you wait till oath, and become a citizen, flying back to India on an Indian passport may result in some hassles at immigration (yes, I am aware there is some grace period of surrender post acquiring Canadian citizenship, but I personally wouldn't risk it). The next best thing would be applying for a Canadian passport and applying for an e-visa.

--Ultimately, you should not have any regret. I think you understand what I'm implying. Go see your father and give him strength.

Then that person got lucky and received test invite next day. May be you should try again and it might work with reaching out to a different agent

Mississauga office here. Test completed Nov 18, BG hasn't even done. If you have your BG cleared before test, maybe you have better chance that it would go faster.

My office is Montreal. My application is done on Sept 19 and AOR Oct 31, but my BG is still not done. I can't understand why some BG have not been completed till now. Do you have any explanation to this delay?

I'm just clueless as you are, my friend. What I observed from previous months applicants, normally it's the case of people getting Fingerprints request, hence the delay of BG clearance. But I never got the request so I'm just sitting here wondering...
