That's just sad, someone waiting for it that long when they are opening so many new pilot visa programs, when they didn't even finish processing the old files. All for the votes.

After the citizenship test, how long did it take to change all of their status to completed? I just took my test and passed.

It could roughly a week for all of it to show as completed

How long does it take for you to be invited to the oath? It's been almost a week since everything is showing as completed. The oath shows not starred.

Where did you apply from? (What city?) Also paper or online application?

Your file is moving really at a good speed. Wonder when will they invite you for oath.

If I'm honest I thought it was going slow compared to others I've seen on here. But yes just waiting in the Oath ceremony now.

cbsa notes might be of help but trust me csis notes mean nothing, its useless to order notes from csis. your criminality is passed so dont worry about csis. Your residency requirements are being checked. Tfr clearances means file transferred for clearances, only worry about it if you have 2 "Eligibility- residency" showing in your notes.

Question:

Even if criminality is passed, security clearance is still pending. I was under the impression that BG check consists of 2 things: Criminality check by RCMP and security clearance by CSIS/CBSA. Once both criminality and security clearance are passed, BG check is marked completed.

Please correct me if I'm wrong in this assumption

You mentioned in mentioned about NPR days ? What is that..

I didn't see anything like Tfr Clearances, apart from that, there is only one "Eligibility - Residence" in my GCMS notes and that started on April 25, 2022, and i think for this update, i got ghost update on April 26, 2022.

How much do they take usually for this step ?

I thought eligibility - residence / language / prohibitons, as they all three gets updated together, so i thought they all 3 starts to in progress together, but in my case only one field gets to in progress.

But why call centre agent mix eligibility - residence with security clearance ? Last time, i called on May 9 and at that time too, they told me its in security clearance. however, when i got my notes on may 13, i saw that those were generated on May 10, and my call record date for may 9 was included in gcms notes. 3 times i have called them till date, all 3 were in GCMS notes.

I have grown quite a few grey hairs since this application.
