Canadian Citizenship’s Uncounted Queue
An unofficial tracker estimates where mailed Canadian proof-of-citizenship applications sit before IRCC acknowledges them.
Field notes
The page models a mailed application as two separate waits: delivery to the mailroom, followed by opening and acknowledgement. Its queue chart uses adjacent filing-month totals to estimate how many applications remain, while the delivery checker offers three lag assumptions rather than a single point estimate. The page also separates online applications, described as receiving immediate acknowledgement, from mailed applications and lists IRCC's stated extra mailing periods for some applicants outside Canada and the United States.
