October 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[siju22]

Hi Folks,

Am not sure, if am seeing it right in tracker. I see September and November Online applicants getting test invite but October tracker is half empty specifically for online. Is this for real or it's not updated. Please share.

Thank you.

Hi all,
Just got a question. Do we need to update IRCC when the passport is renewed? I got AOR in Jan and nothing after that. My passport was renewed last month.
Appreciate your help if anybody knows about this. Thanks

In progress/update: 25 Jan 2021, 23 Feb 2022, 28 Feb 2022 - BG comppeted for an adult, updated- in progress for another; in progress, no update for kids.
No email has been received since the last time of Aor

It has been a while !!! Good to be back!

FP requested: Apr 25 for Spouse, went to Local Police on Apr 26
Test invitation: May 09, 2022. Test date May 12 to June. Took on May 12.
About test practice:
- http://www.thecanadiantest.com/citizenship-test/ : not up to date, seemed more difficult, not so accurate but has a lot of question to practice.
- https://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship: thanks to someone in the forum, less question, also easier, seemed to be closer to the real test.

Hi, the FP process for me took 20 days. My timelines are as below (just checked).

FP done at agency: 14 Apr 2022
Report received update by IRCC (via RCMP) as per tracker: 02 May 2022

All the best.

No progress after BG completion! 7.5 months down already.

Can anyone tell me if my spouse’s background check was cleared earlier than mine, it’s possible that her application is approved before mine correct ?

is it usual to have applicants on same application be approved at different times ?

Hope above link answers your question. In short different timelines are possible.

Hello Folks!

Got a disappointing update on my file -- disappointing insofar as my expectation of receiving an oath invite right about now.

What I mean to say is that on May 6th, I received an email from IRCC requesting Passport Stamps. I had already completed my test on February 28th & my status updated to reflect that on March 1st. Therefore, I have been waiting around 2 months with no response. Thus, upon seeing the e-mail, I jumped in joy believing I finally received my oath invite. Alas, as is it often is, and so it was: Boohoo IRCC

After fighting the sudden disinterest in my citizenship application, I got around to photocopying all my passport pages and expedited the delivery as much as I could. The document has arrived at IRCC today i.e., May 13th.

How long does it take from here to there; from sending the passport stamps to receiving an invite? Some older posts say a month; others a couple of months. I would appreciate a personal anecdote on this timeline -- in particular a more recent one.

And so, my overall timeline slumps as follows:

CPC: Toronto | Type: Single | PPD: 1115
Sent:xxxxxxxxxxxOct 06, 2020
Delivered:xxxxxxOct 09, 2020
AOR:xxxxxxxxxxxxJan 28, 2021
IP:xxxxxxxxxxxxxFeb 23, 2021
Test:xxxxxxxxxxxFeb 28, 2022
PP Stamp:xxxxxxxMay 06, 2022
PP Sent:xxxxxxxxMay 13, 2022

Yes, it is normal. My wife and the child got BG completed in January. Mine just got completed in May after FP request/response. However, I expect the test invites for the adults to come at the same time.

We both completed the test on same dates and both are updated. Her ECAS just updated to DM and mine is under process, same for minor daughter. I believe we are going to different timelines

It’s for people who have tests done at different times, for our apps we are both done with tests. I am now waiting for the three points BG and Test are done.

I had my BG completed on May 10th. My wife's BG was completed on Feb 9th.
Should I expect test invitation soon?

Same for me. I wish we knew how many online applicants have received any update after AOR.
