Reducing Citizenship Processing Times

As a result of a $44 million investment in Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2013 to reduce processing wait times, and recent changes to the Citizenship Act, citizenship applications are taking less time to process.

The chart below shows how CIC’s backlog of grant applications is expected to be eliminated sooner than previously forecasted. By spring 2016, applicants can expect just-in-time processing and the shortest waits in more than a decade.
