Is it just me or other folks that are processed by Vancouver Office that seem never make progress after the citizenship test? I passed my citizenship test on Jan 24th, and background was completed on Jan 27th. And then, NOTHING happened?! Physical presence, Language and Prohibition never updated...
No, not just you... there's a few of us with similar timeline as yours.

Not really, Montreal is the same. I passed the test on Nov 22nd 2021, silence since then.
I followed up with IRCC multiple times, even reached out to my MP, but no progress till date.
Best of luck!

Vancouver's my office, and I haven't heard anything from IRCC since they asked me for pp copies on March 4, 2022.

My passport pages request is in the same PDF as test invitation, wondering if I am special. :p
Did they update the tracker, when they asked you for a copy of your passport? Or they just sent an email to request that

I received my notes yesterday. The office in Sydney requested fingerprints in January but only end of March the office in Montreal sent me the request :rolleyes:

Also they haven't started working on my prohibition, language, physical presence etc, the worse thing is, they have a due date dated to AUGUST for all that! So I'm guessing they can have until August to work on my file...

Applied May 18 2021
AOR: Sept 1st 2021
Test done: Feb 2nd 2022
Fingerprints requested: March 25th
Requested ATIP NOTES: March 10
Received Atip: April 14th

Not sure if it's only me, but seeing applicants from June, July and even August getting invites to the Oath ceremony is a bit discouraging. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for everyone, but then, I wonder what the actual logic is...there are others waiting for this moment for nearly 3 years now, and when we applied in May 2021 there was a 12 months timeline. I know things changed in between due to the pandemic, but even then...anyways, I guess the only thing we can do is wait for our turn.
Best of luck everyone, Happy Easter!

Hey man. At least they're setting a specific and definite date for your file. This terrible experience will hopefully be over before you know it.

I sympathize. Seeing people who've applied at around the same time, or after you, complete the process feels like a slap on the face.

Basically every application has 1 year due dates at first, probably automated and not set by a human, it does not mean they will actually complete the process by that date.
