August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Meeree]

Hi there,

Is it normal to have done citizenship test while all other steps are still “in progress”. I always thought citizenship test is an indication that we are closer to the completion but I could be wrong.

Applied August 2021.
AOR Nov 2021.
Test email March 2022.
Test completed March 2022.

No other updates. What do you think where are we in the process?

Also, how do I know which is our processing office? I received test email from this email: DNCITSRYTESTS@cic.gc.ca. Thanks.

I have the exact same situation, Test passed, everything else, including background check still “In Progress”. My timeline is similar to yours as well.
I found couple of other threads with handful of people in similar situation (test passed, everything in progress) so I would say it’s normal but a niche perhaps? I haven’t seen anyone yet who experienced anything beyond this situation though. Why, I have no idea. Judging by the small sample of people who post on this forum, i have come to believe it’s extremely difficult to predict any timelines or step sequences. Anything is possible.

Total guess, no info whatsoever, I think the email you shared is from Surrey office (if Surrey has a office). Mine was Vancouver.

I can only confirm if some online applicant shares their recent most gcms . If True the insight can be very promising. Im a GCMS expert, I have personally even received a call from ATIP processing agent.

...for now - it's been like this: at each stage, first paper apps move ahead, then they slow down while online ones then catch up, rinse and repeat. Net net we would all average the same amount of processing time in the end.

it looks like Mississauga office is quite fast up until the point of decision made. Then takes a nap and not push applications to Oath

There is a bottleneck in Oath Ceremony scheduling because IRCC would need appointments from a Judge for this activity. And IRCC cant increase the number of Judges.

oath scheduled June 16, 2022

Are you Scarborough office? I also have my oath on June 16th. Have you got your oath email already or this is too early?
