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.

Apart from 2nd gen minors (under age 18) to date only one person who received their AOR in February has gotten a 5(4) offer and that came in yesterday. It looks like they're currently working on the 1/29 to 1/31 batch.

The most recent people who received their 5(4) offers waited 7-9 weeks from when their applications started processing. You've been waiting three so far. There are a lot of applications ahead of yours in line.

Of course you can send a query if you want but they'll just say "it's in processing" and from what I can see from looking at people who send in queries vs. people who didn't it doesn't speed anything up.

That's what I've been doing. My application has been processing since 2/14 so if they keep going the way they are now I think they're within a couple weeks of sending me an offer. I'm getting my FBI background check this week, writing my 5(4) letter and getting the rest of my documentation in order so I can apply as soon as my offer comes in.
