January 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[Bloum]

When you look at the tracker, people received their test invitation pretty soon after the background check was completed.

But mine was completed on September 1st and I still did not receive my invitation! This is more than 3 weeks ago now.

This makes no sense when you see that other people who applied online from Toronto got their background check done after me and already received their test invitation ! What's the difference with me? That is the part that is frustrating : did they forget me or is there something in the process that i/we don't know and takes more time?

What is the date shown on your 'last updated' date? And I guess many people with BG checks have also not received test invites. Look at July tracker. I hope you get it soon

Maybe this is something to do with the officer assigned to handle your case.... just a guess, assuming everything else is same...

Last updated date is : "September 2nd" - nothing since. I know I am not the only one waiting but it seems more usual to receive the test invite just after BG than to wait for a lot. That's what the January tracker says at least.

You are correct wink. Maybe it is just the officer and they might be in holidays or something.

I am not desperate yet, and i remain patient. Sometimes i would just like more clarity in the process

So if your BG was updated on 1st and 'Updated' date is 2nd, wouldn't that mean it is GU, or is it normal for BG update date and last updated date to be different. I assume that date change (Sep 2) might be GU. Hopefully for test invite which hopefully you'll get. Maybe someone else can elaborate on this

Honestly, I had no idea about this low number of targets for online app. Had I known before, I would have sent a paper-based app for my mom. It doesn't even make sense when you look at the tracker as most applications seem to be online type.
