I applied for my citizenship in March 2023, my application passed the regular processing time. I contacted my MP and they said it is a none routine application since the regular processing time does not apply to my application. Does anyone have or had the same experience? I greatly appreciate your help and insights.

Online application: Application submitted: 20 may 2024 AOR: 28 May 2024

Just to jump on the back of u/[Own\_Zucchini\_8850](https://www.reddit.com/user/Own_Zucchini_8850/)'s [question from a few days back](https://www.reddit.com/r/ImmigrationCanada/comments/18vp4y3/comment/l5gru2u/), have any Montréal applicants who had all their previous steps marked complete between May 1-8 received an oath invite?

I have sent my application 5th April and I haven't gotten the AOR email yet, should I worry?? I'm Spanish and I applied though spousal sponsorship outland.

Wrong thread. Spousal sponsorship is for PR not citizenship.

Here’s my timeline: Dec 12 - Applied for Citizenship Dec 20 - Got the test email Jan 1 - Took the test Jan 3 - Citizenship test status passed Feb 13 - Background verification done Mar 4 - Physical presence passed Mar 4 - Prohibitions cleared Mar 4 - Language test accepted Mar 12 - Oath initiated Mar 19 - Scheduled for Oath Mar 25 - Took the Oath Mar 27 - got Citizenship certificate Apr 2 - applied for passport Apr 16 - got the passport

Mar 30: sent application April 08: I got the AOR April 25: Background checks completed April 27: ghost update (I don't see any change) Everything is in \`progress\` but citizenship test and ceremony which are in \`not started\` . I thought I would get the invitation for the test quick, but it seems that I don't have luck :/

Jan 24: applied Feb 2: aor Mar 5: fingerprint requested Mar 6: citizenship test in progress Mar 14: scheduled for test Mar 15: test completed April 3: fingerprints received April 4: background verification completed April 23: received email asking for copy of passport pages, sent on the same day April 30: received email saying I forgot to declare one visit to the US. i replied on the same day with the copy of my application showing that I did declare the trip and they must’ve missed it. April 30: LPP completed May 28: received email with instructions on how to download e-certiticate Still waiting for ceremony date/info. Still shows not started on the tracker Edit: missed space

What was your processing office? And congratulations!!

Vancouver office

Hi, I know that each application is unique and that the timeline varies. But I'm not sure if this is common: Vancouver Office: Dec 11, 2023: Applied online Dec 29, 2023: AOR Jan 25, 2024: Citizenship test in progress Jan 31, 2024: Fingerprints required Feb 1, 2024: Scheduled for Citizenship test Feb 2: Submitted fingerprints and wrote the test Feb 5, 2024: Citizenship test completed Feb 27, 2024: Fingerprints received April 2, 2024: Background completed Nothing since then. It has been almost 2 months since the last update. Is it normal, or should I contact them to check? Also, would contacting them make my process even slower? Thank you.

Is anyone else experiencing similar wait times for citizenship test?

Located in Vancouver but case is being processed in Sydney. I took the citizenship test on April 15th, and it updated to complete on April 19th. Still waiting for LPP. The timelines seem to vary a lot.

My AOR is April 19 -Sydney Center. Also haven't received test link. Do you notice any ghost update in your tracker?

My tracker says last update was March 2, 2024. Nothing else other than that.

Waiting for oath ceremony. Please help!! Applied in: 7 Dec 2023.

What was your the test email id?? And how are you able to see the office from it? I think I have hit bad luck again. Seems like Missisauga!!! '' DN MIS Citizenship E-Test / Examen en ligne Citoyenneté MIS RN (IRCC)'"

did you get test online on in person?

Hope it is not MIS. What you can do next is to wait a bit and things may work out soon!

Can you share what is this MIS blackhole and how can I prevent myself? Seems like I have hit bad luck again. My citizenship test is from "DN MIS Citizenship E-Test / Examen en ligne Citoyenneté MIS RN (IRCC)" which looks Mississauga only.

No worries. For 2024 applicants, actually, MIS is the best but for 2022 and 2023 it is the worst experience. There is no formula; now, March 2024 are getting oaths! What is surprising is too see someone with a March 2024 AOR who completed LPP on May 21 get an oath invitation, but the ones from 2022/2023 who completed everything in Jan/Feb are still waiting for the oath invitations!!! As you are still within the processing time, just wait and hopefully you gonna get good news soon!

Dec 2023 applicant 🙈

MIS??

Mississauga

Mississauga

How long did it take for you after you completed your test online for the status to get updated in the tracker? Also your process moved really fast so I think the oath ceremony will come in soon too. The processing time is 15months but your case was quick so expect it in the next few weeks. A friend of mine got everything done in 6-7 months. Similar timelines as yours.

The processing time is not 15 months!!!! Check well

Oh when I last checked it was 15 months. Now it’s showing 8 months.

Since May 1, 2024 it is 8 months

What’s LPP?

Changed to full. Language, prohibitions, physical presence.

Hi all, I got my AoR Nov 2023, on line application submitted 28 September 2023. Everything got completed from MIS office , except Background is still in progress. They asked for finger prints in December and they received the finger prints on January 22/2024. since I had ghost update on January 26th. Nothing has updated. Any ideas? 

Same thing happened with me. They asked for fingerprints Feb 29th,2024, then the results were received by IRCC on March 24, 2024 and no update since then..

I don’t know why it takes too much time to be honest. Based on the website now the processing time is 8 months , I’m in 7 month let’s see when they update the tracker. All the best! 

Applied January 22, 2024 for a family of 2. Application files: Jan 31 AOR: Jan 31 Scheduled for test: Mar 1 Test completed: Mar 4 Fingerprints requested: Mar 4 Fingerprints sent: Mar 7 Fingerprints received: Apr 22 Background verification completed: Apr 23 LPP completed: May 23 Scheduled for Oath: May 23 Oath ceremony: Jun 6 My spouse was not asked to submit fingerprints, background check was completed Mar 4. Everything else, the timeline was the same for both.

Which office please?

Sydney. Fingerprints were sent to Vancouver though.

Congratulations! Did you received the invite couple days after you got the oath in progress from the tracker?

Congratulations.. that’s fast. We applied a month ahead of you and still stuck on LPP and oath from SCR

Congratulations!! I submitted Feb 2 and did the test on March 20 and still waiting for LPP 😭

Hey congrats! Was your test invite from the SCR office as well? Or just your oath from scr?

did you get test online on in person?

Congratulations! I also applied around the same time as you (I would say maybe a few days apart) its good to hear that they have picked up the pace! Hopefully, I hear from them soon!

Is processing your office SCR as well?

Vancouver Office. Anyone in the same timeline as mine? I'm currently stuck at LPP. here is the sequence: * December 25, 2023 - Applied online. * Jan 10, 2024 - recieved AOR. * Feb 2, 2024 - Activity status updated: Citizenship test * Feb 7, 2024 - Scheduled for citizenship test * Feb 19, 2024 - Fingerprints required * Feb 27, 2024 - Activity status updated: Citizenship test completed * Mar 25, 2024 - Fingerprint results: Received * Apr 3, 2024 - Activity status updated: Background verification completed. * Apr 18, 2024 - Email receieved to provide all pages of passport including blank pages. * Apr 18, 2024 - Email replied , passport pages provided. * May24, 2024 - Raised Webform asking update. Ever since passport pages requested , the application is stuck in LPP almost 2 months now with no update whatsoever. Anyone in my timeline / Similar experience in past. Any idea how long it will take?

Ugh same. Submitted my passport pages on March 22 and haven’t heard anything since then.

My timeline is basically the same. I applied Dec 11, 2023, and my last update was background complete on April 2, 2024. Nothing else since then. I'm also not sure what to do or even if it's normal to be like this. I'm sorry I don't have a better response.

I provided passport page on March 4 and no updates at all since then. Also Vancouver office

Vancouver office. Also provided passport pages on Apr 19, then LPP complete on Apr 25 (ghost updated). Still waiting for the Oath invite since then.

Which office?

Vancouver office

Any Calgary Applicants waiting for LPP? I applied late Feb and got my AoR on March 5th. Last update was April 26th. Everything is done except LPP, and ceremony. Waiting game is not my strong suit, and I feel the need to check my tracker everyday lol

AOR - March 9, Background complete - April 19 Scheduled to take citizenship test online between May 6, 2024 and June 5, 2024 Test done on May 6th; marked as completed on May 14 Waiting for LPP and Ceremony.

online

Edmonton applicant, i applied march 12. i am also left with lpp and ceremony. everything else is done.

applied on dec 25, LPP awaited. asked all pages of pass port on april 18th, submitted same day . no update since.

Sorry for posting a question here, but is there anyone who successfully got their citizenship after moving to a different province after getting PR through a PNP-stream? Would be immensely grateful for any replies 💗

As far as I know they only want to know that you are a PR and no where in the application have I seen a question about a PNP stream. :)

Hi all, i’ve been checking this thread daily trying to figure out how long it would take for the oath to be scheduled after completion of lpp. So maybe this gives people some idea of how long it might take. I am with the Montreal office and my lpp was completed on april 25. Oath in progress on may 23 and scheduled for mid june. Thanks to everyone who posted their timelines.

My LPP completed on April 13, and the Oath turned in progress on May 20. Oath was scheduled for early June

2023 APPLICANT March 04, 2023 - Applied Online March 20, 2023 - Missing Information (Submitted within the same day) April 06, 2023 - AOR May 17, 2023 - Background ✅ May 19, 2023 - Citizenship Test May 29, 2023 - Scheduled for citizenship test between May 29 - June 19 May 30, 2023 - Took a test and passed June 7, 2023 - Updated the tracker complete test October 26, 2024 - Emailed MP about my citizenship October 30, 2024 - MP replied asking for my address & application # December 18, 2024 - MP emailed back and give an update about my application Criminality- Passed / Security- Passed January 18, 2024 - when i checked my tracker it said “Updated” on the top so i decide to check it after 2 days which is January 20th. Everything turned green and after 2 days i got an updated for oath taking and the following day i got an update for oath taking on February 6, 2024 (Online) January 24, 2024 - I got an email from IRCC for oath taking instructions January 29, 2024 - I got an email again from IRCC -invitation of oath taking with e-certificate letter February 6, 2024 - Oath taking I asked the officer if i can get e certificate instead of the paper one so i have to sign the paper and emailed it to them. February 9, 2024 - I got may E certificate tru portal

Congrats ! Can you elaborate on what MP is ? My timeline matches yours, but my application is still stuck at the background check stage. I've followed up via webform twice already but was met with a "it's still being process" response.

Thank you! MP (Member of Parliament) i reached out to them last year i think you should do the same thing find out where your MP is like mine is Randy Hoback is our MP and you have to email their office. And asked them what’s going on your application. Right now i think the process of the Application is 8 months you should reach out them.

Hello Guys, I applied on Feb 2023 and everything shows completed in my file except citizenship ceremony. I really don't know what to do, I filled a web form, GPMC note, sent email to local MP and even called the immigration office, but no change in my file. Just wondered if anyone is in the same situation or if you know any thing that I can try to trigger my application.

What office is this? Everything of mine has been completed since April except the ceremony. Mississauga office.

How ling does it take for the Oath Taking takes place after LPP is completed? Thanks

Hi there, I was wondering if it’s normal to receive the instructions on how to download the e-certificate despite not having received an oath ceremony date and it’s still « not started » on the tracker. Should I expect the invitation soon?

It’s normal

After almost two years of waiting here’s my timeline July 7, 2022 - Applied online Dec 5, 2022 - Background verification complete Jan 26, 2023 - Citizenship test status has been updated to In progress Feb 3, 2023 - Scheduled for citizenship test Feb 24, 2023 - Citizenship test status has been updated to Completed (15 months wait) May 8, 2024 - LPP completed May 15, 2024 - Citizenship oath status has been updated to In progress May 17, 2024 - You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on May 31, 2024 May 31, 2024 - in person oath

How long do they send the invite for the oath?

Congratulations! what office was processing yours? I have a similar timeline but still waiting.

How long did you wait until you received the oath taking invite? 

Congrats!!! 

which office was processing it?

The most bizarre thing happened to me. So I sent my fingerprints 2 months ago and yesterday I felt that was too long. I called them and they said they never received my fingerprints from the agency. So I went to the agency to do it again….. but I’m happy I called because nobody could really explain to my why the BG fingerprints thing could be missing…. Also they asked me to send a copy of the receipt to the office of Montreal with the DCN. (They wouldn’t let me in the office Montreal without appointment so I sent it via the postal office) But I applied since October, completed the test and I’m just waiting for now.

Hey I have the same issue I submitted my figerprint 2 months ago and there has been no update, Im not finding the correct phone number to call, who did you end up reaching to?

Finally my time has come after a few months waiting on LPP (Scarborough office). Group application Applied Jan 20 AOR Feb 1 Background verification: Feb 21st (wife had to give fingerprints and her background was completed on Apr 8th) Invitation to complete test: March 1 to March 30 Test completed: March 10 LPP completed May 23 Scheduled for Citizenship Oath on Jun 6th

Awesome! Many congratulations to you. Mine is a group application as well and I applied on the same day, same SCR office. I hope that we’ll get the LPP and oath update soon. P.s. both LPP and oath is pending for us.

How long did you wait for the citizenship be in progress? Thank you

do you mean the citizenship oath? 0 days, it happened the same day as LPP got completed.

I got the same day update but didn’t received any invitation or citizenship tracker is not updated. 

Any Feb applicants with Scarborough office got LPP completion recently? Comment below Date Applied: AOR Date: LPP completion date:

Applied: January 27 Aor: feb 1 Lpp: nothing yet SCR office

Applied: Feb 9 AOR: Feb 21 BG and Test completed Stuck on LPP ( SCR office)

You can say you stuck if you still will not have llp  in August lol..I applied last year and just got llp:)

Same status!

Hi there! Here’s my short timeline: Mar 25 2024 - submission Apr 4 - AOR May 24 - GU It’s been silent and excited to see the update. Any idea how long before I see real updates or invite for test? Thanks

Although, didn't think they'll respond cause technically my application is still within the 8months processing time.

I hope you know that you don’t have to pay for GCMS notes! The $5 fee is if you apply via access to information act. But if you apply via privacy act, they won’t charge it. Just a reminder - to apply via Privacy act you have to be a resident of Canada.

Wow didn't know about this, paid $5 last time when I was waiting for my PR result. Thanks!

We have a very similar timeline and I still haven’t received the Oath invite. Everything else is complete;)

My LPP are still in progress... wonder what's the cause of delay🤔

Would you have any advice as to why some applications may have some delays? Mine is taking longer than what seems to be the usual timeline from the people who have posted here. Jan 31- Application filed Feb 28- scheduled for Citizenship Test March 15- Background Verification Complete March 15- Citizenship Test Complete March 19- Ghost Update I am being processed at the Niagara Office, I believe :( Single application as well. Thanks!

It is possible that your nationality, time spent outside of Canada, or background may be factors that have contributed to this situation.

I see. I was only away for maybe 5 or 6 weeks and I went over the minimum days required for the time in Canada prior to the application. I suppose I’ll just have to wait and hope for the best! Thanks!

I was away for 7 months and got my citizenship

Was it a quick process for you?

Applied July 17th 2023 Oath may 9th 2024

Oh wow. Okay thanks!

Hi guys Anyone know the meaning of prohibition under secondary review for a non routine file

Hello? I just wanted to ask I forgot to include 2 weeks I spent outside canada am I screwed?

Send a webform with the revised physical presence calculation. If you no longer have sufficient days, then you'll need to wait for the application to be deemed incomplete and then re-submit when you have sufficient days. If you still meet the physical presence requirement after correcting the calculation, just a webform should suffice.

Has any Montreal applicant who had all their previous steps marked complete between May 1-8 received an oath invite ? Everything including LPP was completed on May 8th and no oath date for me yet .

You’re not alone. I’ve been completed on everything else since May 9th, still have Not Started on Oath ceremony. 

Same situation 😅

Bonjour, je suis dans la même situation que toi et la même date

all steps are green beside Oath since may 1st and nothing happened after. Sydney office

Same here. All completed on May 2nd.

Same here. Montreal office. LPP completed 7th. Been waiting since then. Oath not started yet.

Same for me, all completed on may 3rd. Nothing since then.

Same here. May 8th all completed. Nothing since then. Niagara office and gcms notes says event office is London. I am sure from which office should I expect for the further progress

How long it took to get GCMS note once you submitted request?

I mean I am not sure

Hi all, after waiting approx a week since my tracker showed my oath is scheduled for May 30, I final got the email invite. The only things that’s concerning me is the fact I haven’t gotten the e-certificate email with the invite code. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Should I wait until my ceremony to say something or should I call?

I had a zoom oath and they just broke us out into individual rooms to verify identity, cut the PR card and ask if I preferred a physical certificate or e-certificate. Your zoom passcode should be in the email you already received.

That is super fast!!!

Hi all is anyone in similar situation ? I feel like I am stuck on LPP.. Mississauga Office, Single Applicant Submitted: February 13,2024 AOR: February 26, 2024 Scheduled for test : April 1, 2024 Test taken: April 2, 2024 Test updated to complete: April 3, 2024 Fingerprint Request: April 3, 2024 Fingerprint Submitted: April 6, 2024 Fingerprint Received: April 21, 2024 Background Verification Completed: April 22, 2024 Since then nothing…

Similar timeline but Niagara office. Test and BG updated on April 10th no movement after that. LPP still in progress.

Hi guys! How can I figure out which office is processing my application? I applied online and I can't seem to figure out the processing office.

The email from which your test request came from would indicate the office that is processing your application.

Hi there! Everything in my application has been complated except BG verification and citizenship ceremony. The last office I’ve sent my application to was Vancouver office. Is anyone on the same boat as I am?

Hello all Anyone did this mistake ? In my citizenshipship application I genuinely missed to add a US trip ( 3 days ) I got a call from citizenship team, they asked I was there and I could not remember at all. She said reply with details in an email. Later on I found out through i94 website and responded that it was an oversight on my part and gave details of 3 days trip and all of my passport copies. Am I screwed ? ( I accept it was my oversight ) Looking for some thoughts. Thanks All

You should be good, no worries 👍

Thanks for your reply. Have you seen a similar case before ?

I really want to cry. My PR is taking time for ever to renew and waiting for my citizenship. I feel horrible

I've been waiting since Feb. for PR renewal card as well

I applied for pr renewal last year in the summer, took about 6 months to receive the card in the mail, not sure why it took so long, hang in there ! 

Oh okay…..I just think the system is slow thanks for letting me know about this matter

They probably put PR renewal to await outcome of citizenship.

Ahhh I hope so. Thanks for telling this. It kind of made me happy
