NEED HELP: Decision Made Changed to In-Process

[YELKHOULY]

Hi everyone,

I am hoping someone who has been through the same experience can share what to expect:

1- I submitted my application in October 2020
2- Received AOR in Jan 2021
3- Passed the citizenship exam on Nov 10th 2021
4- Everything on new tracker changed to completed, except oath not started, on Nov 17th
5- Decision Made on Nov 17th
6- A ghost update on Feb 11 2022
7- Back from DM to in-process on Feb 11 2022
8- New tracker still shows everything green except for oath not started
9- Called IRCC March 8 2022, they said officer probably needed to make verifications. I asked what sort of varification since everything is still green, she said she does not know.

Anyone been through the same situation or have an insight into what could be happening? Just want to know what I should expect here. Thank you all

Is your ECAS still showing In Process? I am guessing that your criminality / prohibitions had expired - that would explain the ghost update. They do not show up on the new tracker with fresh dates.

Yes it is. I asked IRCC on the phone and they said prohibitions are not expired since They didn’t require fingerprints to start with

your BG check expired.

Did they ask you finger prints last year?

 

[YELKHOULY]

Not BG check. I asked on the phone. Didn’t do fingerprints

I’m going to tag along on this post. My scenario is somewhat similar and I need some insight into what could be happening.
Applied on June 9 2021 got AOR on mid September. Got asked to do citizenship test on dec passed and completed on dec 23 2021 shows compete on new tracker. Last update on nee tracker Dec 24 2021

however background check is still in progress. Most people usually get their bg check cleared right away. What could be the issue? Should I call them at this point? What else can be done?

If I were you I would either call them or submit a webform or order a GCMS notes to see why there is no progress after passing the Citizenship test.

Several of us have been in this situation - although many people don't get invited for the test until after background check is complete, others get the test first. I did. It was 4-5 months after my test was done before background was completed. IRCC don't do the background check themselves so I decided to see it as a positive that they didn't think they were wasting their time having me do the test before confirming background/prohibitions! I did get my GCMS notes and they told me absolutely nothing, from which I take it that there was no 'reason' for the order, just background took a while

All to say: I wouldn't stress about the order being a little out of the ordinary. Be happy you've done your part and sit back to wait for IRCC, RCMP & all other acronyms to do theirs...

Did they request for fingerprints or passport copies in your case? I haven’t been requested anything yet

I did my test in April 2021 , my background check completed in November 2021, I am a 2019 applicant, but the OP's issue is unique, I hope this thing doesn't start a trend where applications start falling back to In process because of the delays in inviting people for Oath ceremony,

In my case they did request Fingerprints twice because apparently the masterminds in IRCC cannot store fingerprints in database when it is clearly collected in a digital format.

That doesn’t sound likely. My ATIP report showed that security checks were expired before physical presence was completed. However there was an entry on the same day as DM for the security checks, passed & updated. So it probably does not take long to update those two critical elements. Test & language of course don’t really matter once passed.
