Checking progress of Citizenship

Checking progress of Citizenship
After living in Canada with PR for 15 years, I applied for citizenship last March 2022.
I’ve only got as far as the security check marked as complete in the progress checker. (I’m over 55, so I don’t even need to sit the test.)
My friend applied in April and has already completed everything but the ceremony.
another acquaintance applied in May and just did their ceremony yesterday.
Does anyone know how I can contact someone to discuss my application, as I have a feeling it’s stuck on someone’s desk.
thanks,
Kenny

You can send a case specific email but as you’re well within the published processing time of 23 months I’m not sure it will help at all. Sounds like your friends cases are just anomalies tbh, and yours is the norm.
Hope you hear soon.
Hope you hear soon.

Re: Checking progress of Citizenship
Hello,
Not been here for a while but hoping to hear thoughts on citizenship application timelines.
My adult son applied online for citizenship in April 2022. His application is showing as received but he has yet to receive AOR.
Is this considered unusual?
I have been looking on other forums and I know the timeline can vary massively but this seems like a long time.
any thoughts would be welcome!

We just received notice that we are scheduled for the online ceremony next month. Quite surprised really as we only applied last year in September so super quick and easy as we didn't need to take test and i assume no need for interview either. My thoughts are that our case files were straightforward and no extra checking was required. Since landing we both had same address, same job, no name changes, no gender changes, same everything really and never been outside the country for extended times.
