Thanks for posting. I think we're sorting applications by when they were submitted (not AOR), so you're in the November cohort. Good luck!
(And, no, an email to IRCC doesn't trigger LPP - folks have been following up on tests not showing as completed.)

Also, officially, processing time for citizenship grants has ticked down to 21 months, down from 24 in January so things are looking up! Something to keep us going, I suppose!

Hi guys, do RCMP fingerprint request and COC (overseas police's certificate of Clearance) fall into category of Background Verification or Prohibitions?
Thanks

Background likely includes a quick RCMP check to verify you meet the basic conditions. I'm guessing this is solely at a Canada level.

Prohibitions likely involves looking closely at your travel history and overseas presence (which may require external police check certificates, and reauthenticating said certificates with the issuing countries). As with the PR application, CSIS likely reviews your entire profile to assess whether you are eligible on security grounds both inside and outside of Canada. CSIS uses international criminal databases (that include the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand that form a special union) to confirm you meet the requirements of citizenship.

All of this is a calculated guess. @skidmarkz

I honestly wish my oath invite isn’t till the 3rd week of May as I have a trip coming up in April/May and don’t want my PR card ripped into pieces before that :rolleyes:
When I said that back in March some people thought I was being delusional as May was considered too early for the oath ceremony :D
