I have the exact timeline as yours. Just 3-4 days different from yours and still waiting to see an update on Language skills, Prohibitions and Physical presence. What do we know about the time it would take from this point?
To be honest, i have no idea. IRCC seems to be so unpredictable with our (online) applications.

They are still prioritizing paper over online applications. Thays why we see so many paper applicants who applied even in April/May/June 2022 are already done with their oath, while online applicants from 2021 are still waiting.

This is so unfair but it is what it is. There is nothing much we can do except wait.

You will have an interview because you took the test out of Canada. My friend did too and had to wait for 6 months. Nothing to worry about just document verification and chit - chat. The other steps will be completed after the interview and you will get invited for the Oath.

Hello, My Background check was completed on October 19th, and I got a ghost update on October 21st. After that, nothing happened, and I am still waiting to receive a test invite.
My AOR is April 6th, and I submitted my application on March 6th.

Is there anyone in the same situation as me? Is it normal? I can see most of the March and April applicants received test invites already.

I appreciate any input from you.
Thanks

Thank you. My BG actually completed on October 21st.
That is very frustrating! Do you know which office is handling your application? Mine is Niagara Fall.

Hey everyone, I was asked to submit FP. The letter mentioned that I had 30 days to send it. I had my FP taken the same day and 30 days is being completed this week and I haven’t heard anything from them. Anyway I can assure they have received it?

I’m not really a march applicant, but it seems like we are in a similar situation. I submitted April 26 and my AOR was May 06. I got a GU on Nov. 5 but have not heard anything after that. It is now 17 days after GU! A lot of people get a second GU or test invite within a few days of the GU! Also everything (including BG) is still ”in process”.

Since I’m from St. Catharines, my office is also likely Niagara Falls. Seems like this office is working very slowly, and yes, it is incredibly frustrating!

Call your local RCMP office where you had your fingerprints taken and get your tracking code. Then call CCRTIS, and ask for your status with the tracking no. They should tell you when they sent it to IRCC if they are done.

Thank you. I called then and it was sent to Vancouver on Nov 1st. Any idea on the timeline after they receive it?
No idea to be honest. It probably was already updated but the tracker doesn't show any updates for a lot of us. In order to confirm that with IRCC you may need to call the IRCC helpline. Alos, the 30 days is for you to provide your fingerprints and since you did there is nothing you can do, unfortunately.
