January 2022 - Citizenship Applications

Awesome. I'm following test takers outside Canada for their timeline.

I also created a thread. There is a story about longer processing time for test takers outside Canada. The one person who replied on the thread has been waiting for over 29 months.

Could you link me in it? I took my test outside too and I really hope this doesn’t add any more delay to the already delayed processing.

How long does it take to update the test result on online account?
I finished my test on the 26th and my online account hasnt been updated so far.

I passed the test 3 weeks ago, still no update on the tracker

My FP's were received on 23rd of Oct as per the online Tracker but Background Check is still in progress where as most of the members have it completed the very next day after FP's are received. Is this Normal ?

Much easier than mock tests. Read the book 2-3 times and you’ll be good.

My background check was completed on Sep 15th (without FP). From the tracker, most everyone who had background around that date got test invites, which I'm yet to receive. Anyone else in the same situation?

A friend of mine had her background check completed two months ago and she is still waiting. She was paper applicant from Oakville. I am not sure which office is yours

I just checked the tracking sheet, those completed January applications are all paper applications. Holy shit. Did all these applicants pat extra money to IRCC or did they pay extra tax? If not, they don’t deserve being given such an priority.

Its not for all paper applicants. It depends on visa office. I am Jan2022 paper applicant SK office. test completed in June2022. We are in November, still oath not started. For me at least its slow. But other side some offices are way too fast.

similar situation albeit background check completed 3 weeks after you....no test invite yet. not sure what's going on.

I see an update on the new tracker saying I need to provide additional information. I have not received any email from IRCC requesting additional documents. I received one earlier in the year requesting for a PCC which I have since provided. BG is completed. I suspect this may be due to the new tracker. Anyone experiencing this?

That sucks, is it that difficult for the SK office to organize a zoom oath ceremony? This is why IRCC is overwhelmed with phone calls and requests. They are easily the most disorganized organization that I've ever seen.

What stops them from just maybe renting out Sasktel center and having all the persons waiting for an oath come in and get their certificates and get it over with? Ridiculous

Hard luck you. The majority of paper applicants received their citizenships in less than half a year. Despite the delay, your test was arranged much faster than online applications.

I guess next year (Q1) we will see some movement (Oath) for online applications.

Sorry to jump in. Are you sure will be next year Q1 ? I was hoping for this year - last update for me was FP received on Oct 5.
Is it possible for everyone to update us if they get anything after FP is complete for online application! Thanks in advance

Hey fellows,

I finally passed my test. (20/20)

I would like to thank everyone who provided their feedback which really boosted my confidence.

Can anyone please advise on how long do I have to wait for everything else to be completed and citizenship oath after the test is marked completed?

I would highly appreciate your feedback on this so that I can make my travel plans back to Canada accordingly.

Thank you.
