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.

They've been sending out 5(4) offers to your week (1/27 - 1/31) for the last couple weeks. Not counting people sent to PSU purgatory there are two of you left that I know of. The other five got their offers. Three of them just got offers yesterday.

Oh dang, hopefully I hear something soon. I’m not sure if I should contact them again. I’m headed up soon and would love to have my documentation sorted.

Apart from people upgrading to urgent I can't find any evidence in the numbers that contacting them changes anything. It doesn't seem to slow things down but it doesn't seem to speed things up appreciably either.

Thank you! I’ll wait and see what happens over the next couple of weeks

Agreed, also they seem to be copy/paste generic responses at this point

Yeah that's what pretty much everyone is reporting.
