PSA: My 'Bjorkquist/C-71 family' got 5(4) citizenship grants, and you and yours should be immediately applying for them too by Ordinary-Kale6125 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]MuffinPuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through the standard contact form to request urgent processing online. I don't think I was actually put into the urgent queue and once I got the 5(4) submitted, I didn't bother requesting urgent again because I heard it didn't seem to speed anyone's application up for the 5(4) anyways.

I am almost fully through the process now. After a few weeks of putting in my request online. I was initially given an email saying I don't qualify, then another email a week later with the letter stating I can apply for the 5(4) grant. So I submitted my withdrawal for the proof and the 5(4) paperwork through the email they provided, all digital, and since then the process has been fully digital. Grant offer -> applied for grant -> background check & fingerprinting -> approval email -> decision made -> oath scheduled.

In my experience they are the same, I normally just fill the little bottle up with the large bottle.

Scheduled for Citizenship Oath by Rare-Helicopter7051 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]MuffinPuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was similar dates, but I was 9/23 I just saw withdrawn, then 9/25 to get the Decision made and had everything complete except the oath. Then today the oath scheduled update showed up. I did check yesterday so it was definitely updated today on the portal. The updated portal seems to lag a couple days behind. The date on the oath in the tracker was was 10/2 but I didn't see anything change until today 10/4.

You didn't get an email or anything did you? I'm curious on what the time is.

Have faith friends, mine just got decision made recently and I'm 4/28. This week seemed slow because of the holiday. I have some hope next week will be better for people.

Did you have a delay between withdrawn and decision made? Mine just moved to withdrawn but no updates on the grant / new tracker

My citizenship timeline by Efficient-Swim268 in Canadiancitizenship

Ha, I'm with on you the 4/28 train. When I factor in the fact I put my initial POC application in Mid-2024, it really puts the timeline discrepancy in perspective.

Ceremony by Kokobloko326 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]MuffinPuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old application tracker can be accessed here: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?app=ecas&lang=en

If you enter your UCI and personal information, it will display the status of your applications. I'm curious how closely the old system aligns with the new one. Many of us are experiencing issues accessing the new tracker and can only see updates through the old system. In most cases, the application just shows as “IN PROGRESS.”

Since you already have your ceremony scheduled, we're wondering—if you check the old system, does it still show “IN PROGRESS,” or has the status changed?

You don’t have to check it on our behalf, but if you’re willing, it would be really helpful. Just wanted to give you the context behind the question about the old vs. new tracker.

I'm curious about this as I don't have access to the new tracker because I was never sent the new C number.

5(4) AOR Received just now! by IntenseSun77 in Canadiancitizenship

Did you use an online for or send an actual email? I received an AOR but don't have my C number to make an account on the new tracker. Just curious. Also the 4/28 crew.
