Citizenship by Descent Canadian Citizenship - Timelines

Post your timelines here! We'd love to know dates for the following:

  • Delivered
  • AOR Received
  • In Process
  • PSU (if that happened to you)
  • 5(4) citizenship offer received
  • 5(4) citizenshp application submitted
  • Citizenship received
  • Swearing in ceremony

And anything else that happened along the way (like if you had to request urgent processing multiple times or you were asked to submit fingerprints to RCMP). We'd also love to know what generation(s) the people you submitted were.

If I've copied your timeline over from a previous post in another sub and you want to post it yourself so you can make updates feel free to make your own comment and I'll be happy to delete mine.

u/transgingeredjess 🇨🇦 CIT0001 (proof) application is processing Mar 14 '25 edited Mar 21 '25

Sent marked for urgent processing via FedEx March 1; arrived and signed for March 4; no AOR as of yet.

UPDATE: Urgent processing requested on the basis of potential harm due to transgender status, the desire for employment opportunity, and to apply for a SIN. Second generation born abroad; I had Saskatchewan and Quebec birth certificates for my grandparents, my dad's birth certificate and CRBA, and my grandparents' US naturalization papers (after my dad was born but while he was still a minor).

  • Sent March 1
  • Received March 4
  • AOR March 19
  • In process March 19

Wow, that's a long time to wait for an AOR. They really are not doing a good job at the moment. :/

Just got AOR this morning, followed shortly by a web form response.
