I believe criminality shouldn’t take too long, so you should hear something soon. My processing office is Scarborough.
My processing office is Scarborough as well. I hope what you are saying becomes a reality, because it is very frustrating.

No, Criminality is passed on Jan 27 as per ATIP notes. Security clearance is pending. So BG is still in progress.
In the same boat, security clearance pending. Criminality passed March 2022. Frustrating to see that you've been waiting more than 7 months for security clearance. Did you request CSIS ATIP notes or talked to MP?

Yea I did. Had to order ATIP notes twice to get an answer. Now I have ordered it again but I doubt it’ll make any difference. MP office said the same thing to just sit tight since 3rd party conducts these checks. So I have stopped thinking about it as it’ll happen one day.

Has there been any updates for any of your applications?

My application has been pending background check for more than 9 months after the test now.

Does anyone have any information on how longs it would take on average for the background check to be processed in these cases?

Is there any information from other members on how long it can take for the security screening to be completed?

Hmm 7 months after test. No updates. My MP office called me to let me know it’s within normal processing times. I’ve stopped checking nowadays.

Applied two individuals in June 2021, and one of us seems to have fallen in this hole (the other is taking the oat this week!).

Details for the forgotten one:

Applied: 22 Jun 2021
Test Invite letter: 25 February 2022
Test Interview date: 21 March 2022
Test updated to Completed on 23 March 2022
Oath Letter Date: TBD
Oath Ceremony: TBD
Test and Background show as "Completed"
Language, Physical Presence, and Prohibitions show as "In Progress"
Processing office is "West Citizenship", so, Vancouver?
*Note that our other application was also processing via the "West Citizenship" emails but switched to SK/MB when the oath invite came.

Hi everyone,
Just a follow up to see if any of you got the citizenship process completed after long time waiting for BG. I have the similar situation with test completed first (August 2022) while the BG is in progress. Fingerprint requested and submitted back in May 2022. Family application of 4 - paper based.
