Perused N400 - confirmatory. We were in sync. Part 12: Went very well.

Sign off: Officer approved case, signs off manually on record of passed civics test and hands me paper, updates system.

Signing off,

Is it just me or do Canadians get longer processing times than any others? lol. I keep seeing Canadians having to wait like a year and a half for citizenship, and I had to wait over a year for my IR-1 even though I had been married to my wife for 3 years when we filed from Canada. She moved about a year before me, because of it.

I don't know, the whole system, especially since the start of COVID, has been so unpredictable.

Some of us have been waiting over a year and others that applied this year are already done! I don't get it. 

I procrastinated and waited 10 years to apply so another month or so doesn't really bother me.

I agree!  

I did the same, waited 9 years to file and I am going on 14 months wait time and had to get a I551 stamp. HA! 

  I think we got the same bio re use date so here's hoping something is coming soon.

I'm telling you, I don't know what it is, but it seems like our cases take forever. Not sure why. Low fraud country.
