Today's the 1-year anniversary of when I applied. Radio silence from IRCC since May, despite my sending them an e-mail, a webform, and requesting GCMS notes. I followed up with ATIP because I haven't received the notes and it's been more than a month. Got an automatic e-mail blaming COVID for their delays. I'm about to contact my MP today to see if I can get some answers.

June 2021 applicant here - except for AOR, all my updates have been slower than most people with similar timelines.

I received my test invite 13 months after I sent in my application and the test was marked as completed more than a month after I took it. No updates after that - only my Background and test are marked as completed, rest everything is either in progress or not started.

completing 1 year of application.

Just want to know if any one else is waiting for all statuses to be completed ?

Online Application: August 2021
AOR: November 2021
Test Taken: April 2022
FP & BG check done: May 2022

Since then just silence.

Many of us are waiting. I'm a June 2021 applicant (paper, family of 3) and my Physical presence, Prohibitions and Language are still in progress and oath not started. Background verification was completed sometime in January this year and test was marked as completed in July 2022.

Same here. Will be completing 1 year in a few days with only Test and BG completed since Feb. I'm sure it will eventually get processed but the wait is frustrating. It's a huge block to any long term planning.

Absolutely! It feels like my whole life is on hold because of this never-ending wait

I just reached out to my MP and sent a second webform to IRCC asking for an update and letting them know that the delay is affecting my business as I'm unable to plan properly for work-related travel due to this. Will keep you updated.

Does anybody know if expired passport (for my kid - he is 11 years old) is ok for oath ceremony?
I have his PR card (not expired) as well.
Thanks

Ceremony marked complete on Aug 19, 2022 and Application closed as well. Updated in tracker today (since 19th was a Friday). Timeline in signature. Last bit of receiving the certificate remains. As for SO's application, her Oath was a couple of days after mine, so hoping for an update this week for that.

Today, SO's tracker updated to Closed (with Ceremony also marked complete). Timeline is very close to mine (as in signature, minor date variations, same average durations between stages). Oath office for her was SK and Oath date was Aug 17.

From Aug 19 here, application closed on the tracker, “complete” on eCAS. Certificate will be atleast another 10 days I’m thinking.

I am also waiting for status update. Did my oath virtually on 16th Aug at Manitoba office. I have sent an web form asking for an update today. The auto reply to the mail sent for the signed oath letter states than "A decision/response to your request will be added to your file within 3 business days of receipt" but still no update.

Is your application in progress? Or it's closed and you are waiting to receive the certificate? My understanding is that when the app is finally close, it means the certificate is on its way to the recipient.
