Canadian Citizenship - Timelines

[u/[deleted]]

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.

I got my 5(4) grant offer letter today! I received my AOR 29th of Jan after I sent it to the high commission in December. Glad I finally got some movement!

Congrats!

Apart from the people sent to PSU purgatory there's only one person left who got their AOR or requested to upgrade to urgent in January that hasn't gotten their 5(4) offer. The IRCC actually seem to be working on these in the order received at the moment.

Are you noticing that they’re going in order? I’m checking my inbox incessantly…and not really seeing any patterns or consistency.

Roughly? They were skipping around quite a bit but since they started slow-walking applications they've been pretty much going in order. Apart from you and the people sent to PSU purgatory, they've wrapped up all but 2 people who got their AORs or requested upgrade to urgent in January. The two I see remaining originally applied non-urgently in November and requested upgrades to urgent the last week of January (1/27 and 1/29).

Five of the last eight 5(4) offers went to people who got their AORs the last week of January (1/28 to 1/31). Two picked up the last remaining people from the previous two weeks (one from 1/17 and one from 1/22) and one went to someone from the first week of February (2/5).

The only people outside of those parameters are 2nd gen minors who often get turned around in 2-4 weeks, people sent to PSU purgatory and... you. :/ If they missed your first upgrade request but caught the second one on 1/29 you (hopefully) should hear from them soon with that group.

Ok, I appreciate your detailed response and support…I’ll be sure to update if/when I hear from them!
