August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[NK11]

Yes, I received it the same day it changed on my tracker. I checked the tracker update at 8 am in the morning, and I got the email at around 11 45 AM.

Best of luck!

Hi All,

i have applied on Aug 24 paper application.
AOR: Nov 15
Background Check: Completed Jan 13
Havent heard back since then.
I applied from Burnaby BC so not sure which office is that.

Should I be calling?
Anyone else in the same situation or having similar timelines?

thanks!

Folks from September, October, and November 2021 are getting DMs and Oaths based on the tracker. We should be far ahead, but aren't :|

Feel like giving up

Don't give up. It will all work out. I know it can get frustrating, but hang in there.

don't feel disheartened buddy. I know how it feels, all the waiting. But trust me.. the day will come when you wake up and see your status changed to oath. and it'll come soon. hang tight, good luck.

I am just guessing here, but could it be that an interview may be required thats why BGC was changed to in-process again...

i didn’t know that, so if an interview is required, the BG won’t be completed ?

No
Not even that.
No test invite, no updates

Wow there are people who passed the test in May getting oath invites and I passed the test in Feb but still stuck!

Same !

 

[GargiS]

I am so disheartened. Seems like everyone is getting oath invites but I am stuck on test completed since Feb 21

For some of us who passed test in Feb/March, it seems really stuck since then - no updates, no movement at all. But its hard to predict the timelines anyways, its really random even for the same office (Scarborough office in my case for example). So I guess, we dont have much choice except to wait for the magic day ! Its really frustrating but hang in there ! I am hoping we will have some updates latest by June

Same here - passed the test in Feb 2022 and languishing at the Scarborough office (July application).

It does seem that those of us who passed the test in Feb/March are stuck! I'm a June online applicant who passed the test at the beginning of March and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting with absolutely no updates since then

what is the average processing time to oath after taking the test? I have been waiting since April 4th. No change since then.
Also can someone please help me understand how paper applications are getting processed faster than online applications?
