I called IRCC a few weeks ago and I was told my file is with Vancouver and not Sydney (aka 8090) now...but I haven't seen any movements for over 2 months now...

did you apply on Jan 2023 ? that's insane
Yup, insane indeed. I even helped a few of my personal friends and colleagues to apply for their citizenships after I applied and all of them got their oaths already (a few even got passports). My application doesn't even fall into the non-routine category, so I really don't know what the heck is going on at this point

Background Check:

It has been over 3 months now with no progress on my application. It's weird because in the citizenship tracker spreadsheet it looks like most people have now had background checks completed but I have had no progress at all.

I ordered GCMS notes but there was nothing weird there, just said that my LPP has not started yet. Is Vancouver known for being really slow?

your office is not Vancouver- Vancouver is handling FPs, so you have received FPs from Vancouver ; however your primary office is still Calgary.

thank you for sharing your info thu

Oh interesting. So how can you tell which office is yours? I've read on other forums that you need to look at your FP request to see what your processing office is, just because I applied from Calgary doesn't mean Calgary office is actually processing it.

Basically you could check your primary office on your citizenship test invitation letter - or email address. posted here i will let you know
