July 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Wandering Mind]

Not me, all the applicants 2019-2020 had been forgotten.
For me , 25 months already.
I renewed my PR card successfully last month 50$
Applied for TD -120$
All these expenses because still expecting my ceremony

Sorry to hear that! I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you and everyone else waiting for more than 2 years now!

It's been almost 15 months since I applied for citizenship and I'm already losing my mind!

Hang in there, hopefully your wait will be over soon.

Thanks for ur kindly words! Hope this “ torture “ will finish soon.
Strangely, IRCC worked so fast to conclude with my PR Card. I received the renewed card only in 70 days. Not bad!
With Travel document already 3 months send as urgent - still expecting. So, IRCC works strangely

My citizenship oath status changed to in progress on August 25. The oath ceremony date on the tracker is September 15, 2022.

Did you get any emails when your status changed from in progress to complete for any of the stages?

Mine's being processed in Vancouver too...

Hi, I have same questions as you have for my parents, at first I thought it would be faster and some of the requirements should be marked completed automatically since they do not apply to senior applicants, unfortunately not from what I have seen so far. It might actually take longer due to maybe priorities for younger applicant. (My observation only)

I have the same experience with my parents. October 2021 applicants and nothing after Aor in January 2022.

No emails for status change from in progress to complete. You have to check the online status tracker.

Currently on month 7, soon to hit month 8 after the Citizenship test.
Just a bit sad because there's an election here in Quebec and I was hoping to get it done in time to vote for the first time, but IRCC has other plans I guess.

Have you cleared background check? Or ordered GCMS notes?

Have you cleared background check? Or ordered GCMS notes?

I have the same situation as Tipsywit63, except for my background verification is still pending. I order GCMS note and notice Criminality passed, No reportable trace under CIT screening. I don't understand why background verification is still pending

Ah a stuck background check is a tough situation and a common reason for delays. IRCC might be stuck waiting for a response from third parties. There might be also be issues with your name check that require further investigation. The only thing you can really do is to wait and follow up every couple months with calls/webforms.

I have cleared the background check. I haven't ordered GCMS notes yet as I'm not convinced that it does anything to speed up the application. When I did with the my PR application it just showed me it was still in "the pile" and it took months more to get completed...

Many people, myself included, have seen movement shortly after ordering GCMS notes, so it's worth a try. Even if you don't see any movement, you can get more details on whether anything has happened that is not in the tracker.
