What processing times? that's a standard bureaucratic response. Could be a great response for you or not. Also, if you think that those who call IRCC to ask about processing times are wrong, go complain to the cops. This is a free country. Each to their own.
call as many times as you want to. No one's stopping ya. I'll take it a step forward - reach out to your local MP if you want answers from IRCC. Everyone's accountable. Make sure you demand what you think is right. For those who tell you you're wrong, they want to do the same sadly but their own twisted sense of morality prevents them from doing so.
Surely, all are free to use any means they like to contact IRCC, but the thing is there was a 12-month processing standard before the lockdown. Currently the processing time is 23 months. So even with clearing the backlog, IRCC has managed to also process most 2022 applicants in less than the standard 12-month timeline. You can look at the spreadsheet and see for yourself. Calling IRCC wouldn't make them process your application any sooner if you are within the timeline. I understand that seeing others with similar application dates already completed can cause anxiety. But the best thing is to remain patient unless one has exceeded the processing time. I'm not trying to dissuade persons from calling, I'm just telling them the reality that they cannot get any information from IRCC calling agents because they themselves do not have the information.
I'm just respectfully sharing my opinion (because we live in a free country, as you pointed out). People can do whatever they want. That includes ignoring my comments... or yours.
This has got to be a joke?! You’re asking older applicants who’ve not seen any movement to be patient as more recent applicants take their oath?
Absolutely. But, now that you've replied, are you really ignoring my comment?
Older applicants? This is the May 2022 group so everyone here who hasn't gotten the oath is still within the pre-pandemic standard of 12 months. You can choose to panic and call IRCC every day or just wait patiently till you reach your turn. You had your LPP completed 4 days ago so I suggest you call every 2 hours, then send an email to all IRCC offices in Canada, order multiple GCMS notes, and write to all the MPs IRCC will love you for that.
For sure someone like you that has a peculiar case of no updates has every reason to call and inquire. I'm talking about those who are so close to the end clogging up the phone lines so that persons who have serious issues cant get a call in
Have you checked your spam mail and the promotions section (if using Gmail)? What's your processing office? I only have the Vancouver office email : WST-CitizenshipClient-Notification@cic.gc.ca
I don’t think this is an issue of if it’s still within the processing time or not, ircc should at least give people a proper reason why their cases are stuck for months without any update while some of those more recent cases getting completed. People lose patience not just because of the long wait, it’s more of a consistency and fairness issue. They should be more transparent to the applicants.
My wife's application seemed to be much slower than mine, I requested GCMS notes and sent them an email and within 2 weeks she got an update with everything completed and days later Oath invite, and the GCMS notes had a copy of the email we sent.. one weird thing in the notes is that they have a record that they sent us a request for police certificate from country of origin and they gave us 30 days to send it, but we never received such request and that police certificate was already provided in the original application..
ha! I wasn't talking about myself, but thanks for the lengthy and uncalled-for explanation
