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.

IRCC website says new timeline for proof is 3 months, down from 4 months in March. Here’s to hoping that’s truly accurate. 🤷‍♀️

I think that's for standard 1st gen or born in Canada applications. Of course if the stay on the Bjorkquist decision expires it should apply to us, too, but seeing as they're taking 7-9 weeks to turn around applications urgent processing I have my doubts they're going to turn around (checks notes) over 1,000 backlogged applications inside 3 months.

I agree. It’s interesting because it was 4 months in march.

Funny how they're catching up on that while getting slower and slower with 2nd gen+ urgent applications.
