[wasiqjaved]

Hi Everyone,
June 2021 Applicant.

► Application Date : 20 JUN 2021
► Type : ONLINE
► AOR : 22 SEP 2021 (Email)
► BGC Completed : 14 MAR 2022
► Test Invite Email : 14 MAR 2022
► Test Activation Period : 18 MAR 2022 - 07 APR 2022
► Citizenship Office : Montreal, Quebec (changed to Vancouver on 23 June 2021)
► Test Date : 27 MAR 2022 (Passed)

I have received two GCMS notes. 17 Feb 2022 (before Citizenship test) and 5 May 2022 (after Citizenship test). Both notes showed interesting progress and updates.

My online profile looks like this right now. Nothing interesting!

It was last updated on 23 June 2021, but there wasn't any changes shown on profile. Today, I found out that it was actually backend update of file transfer from IRCC Montreal Office to IRCC Vancouver Office. Anyways, Due Date is just Sunday 24th July 2022, so hopefully will get some positive update in this week.

I received reply from IRCC after a month and this is their reply. No mention of 23 June 2022 file transfer from IRCC Montreal to IRCC Vancouver.

My application status is showing "TFR-Verification". In GCMS dashboard, these are the options which Immigration Officer have to choose from in 'APPLICATION STATUS' tab:

Do you have your invitation letter for your oath?

No, not yet. I just saw the oath data on the portal.

Hi All,

My application was sent in June 2021, AOR in Sep 2021. BGC was completed in Dec 2021. After that is 100% silence. I tired webform, and no response. Its paper application for family of 4. Should I be concerned. I see in this forum people who applied after me are much ahead in the process.

Hello Everyone,
I have a very silly question
I have scheduled to take an oath on August 10 which is Wednesday. Can anybody tell me how long the ceremony lasts or Do I need to take off from work?

Hi it took about a 2 hours for me. Coz there were 120 of us they took a whole hour to verify all them first before even starting the ceremony. The ceremony is quick not long at all. I would suggest 2 hours average.
