Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Ours was 13 months - but we informed them we were out of the country for a few weeks mid-way through the process so I think they probably put it on hold or pushed it to the back of the queue and that slowed it down. Got there in the end though

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Has anyone who applied in September or October received a date for citizenship test yet?

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Just an update on timelines from me for Canadian Citizenship
Sent off application: 2019/01/09
Started processing: 2019/03/29
Does this seem slower than usual or just about as expected?

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
In case anyone comes across this in the future : I called CIC and they confirmed the fingerprints had been received, everything was approved - and that I was going to be sent a date for the citizenship test "soon".

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Well, still no news on my application - I just checked and it still says "Processing"
They started processing on December 4th - they received my application in September and opened it on November 21st.
No request for fingerprints, but apparently this is usually only for people with common names, or names that are similar to persons "Of Interest"
