I understand it can take 12 months for the Citizenship Processing Centre to complete its review of my application. How can I track the status of that application?
It is always recommended to send the application via courier with a tracking number, so delivery is confirmed. Also, when paying online, keep a copy of the receipt and use that number to verify the status of the application online via the Citizenship and Immigration website. It may take five (5) to seven (7) months following receipt for the application to be entered into the system, and for any information to be available online. If the application for a citizenship certificate was submitted and a confirmation of receipt letter from the Citizenship Processing Centre in Canada was received, that letter will display a reference number. This number can be used to verify the status of your application, via the Citizenship and Immigration website. However, such letters of receipt are rarely issued. Otherwise, check the status of the application by calling the Citizenship and Immigration Call Centre from inside Canada only at (888) 242 2100.
