It all depends on a case by case basis and also the speed of the selected local CIC office.AHTOXEC said:Hi all,
Can someone pls point me to the right thread or explain here general process but with more details something like this
1) if your app is complete and you meet all the criteria you get AOR =>
2) In process (background, criminal, exit/entry check etc.) =>
3) Test (just wait, or are they doing anything here?) =>
4) Oath =>
5) Done. You can apply for passport
TY
AOR is received when you application has passed the 1st stage which means that you have all the basic requirement to apply.
In-process will start once your local CIC office receive your application. Test invites will be sent once all checks are completed.
Once you pass the test they will send you a letter asking you to come for an oath ceremony.
You can probably check the CIC website they might have a comprehensive analysis of all the various steps. From application received to the ceremony it might take a minimum of about 6-8monts while some might take +1year - 3years to complete depending if you got RQ
Goodluck.
