November 2021 - Citizenship applications
- Thread starter canvisa001
- Start date
The Chair is the MP for Scarborough Centre, and the Scarborough citizenship office is a failure. That explains all you need to know about this committee.
Starting to get anxious now.. I see in Dec forum ppl have started getting test invites with AOR much later than mine. I see no movement on my application since 25th Feb when BCG was completed.
Is there anything that I can do? Would calling the IRCC helpline help expedite my application or atleast get them to review it?

Nothing. AOR Jan 28. The whole process is so random and disorganized. They don't give a crap anyway.

That’s so messed up , I can’t believe Ircc with all these funds are still coming up with such excuses
A guy from work applied in January 2022, and he already has his Oath Invitation; he did not apply for urgent processing. He is 19, immigrated with his parents and submitted a single online application. Has never left the country. I thought he was joking until he showed me his tracker. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Same office as me. Kitchener.
@wksj, if it is possible, you should do it! I feel bad for the 2019 and 2020 people or anyone that applied after me. I know that this process is really unfair.
Check the IRCC Minister, they don't really care:

Minute: 12:14:00 - Garnet Genius asks about the MP's limitation to reach IRCC. (Watch until 12:16:50)
Minute: 12:18:15 - he laughs and mentions MP's reaching out to him

I added my country because I was told that some countries take more time to get the information, and I know that Argentina somehow has kind of shared databases with the USA. I've seen that Countries that have shared databases with the USA or some kind of arrangement are approved faster. On the GCMS notes that I just received mentioned that the biometrics were taken from a partner (USA). I have a US visa.
I'm a big data analyst, and here is some important information. I feel committed to this forum, and I made a short analysis for people that already had the test; if you guys want me to run any other analysis, please let me know and give me time. I'm in my break. LOL
Days from TEST TO DECISION MADE
This exercise shows tendencies. Unfortunately, we don't have the same number of samples for each month. I can bet that more people already got their citizenship in January and February, and for sure, they have their passports. But they forgot to update the file. More than 80% of people are NOT committed to returning once they receive the Oath Letter. So take the average, that it will take around 70 days for the people that had the test to have an update. Minimum days 10, maximum 400 days (More than13 months, which is still within the 27 months of processing time).
IRCC changed the time to 27 months just to have an excuse to tell applicants that the file is still on time. While the average before Covid was between 8 to 12 months.

I contacted IRCC , they confirmed that there was no request for additional information. The files of my children were put on hold awaiting outcome of my application and my wife’s.
they explained that this due to the fact that I and my wife applied online while my children applied on paper, therefore they cannot processed together.
I think it was a huge mistake to apply separately for everyone, we should have applied paper application for the whole family.
Hi LoreAR
thanks for this analysis .. i completed my test and my tracker shows completed as well .
are the physical presence and prohibitions check made together when the decision made update is done or are they the next expected steps ?
i always thought they would do those before test invites but that doesnt seem to be the case.
