Staffing and also they have to redact certain parts so it takes time and you requested everything they have so that takes longer you want docs you submitted emails they sent n you sent lol that is a tall order it you had just asked for notes they would have just sent it, as that is very easy
good luck

You will get LLP and Oath in July, I did test in Feb and job Oath and LLP in June, we are still moving very fast despite what seems to be long since the processing time is 20+ months at the time when we applied.

Also I do not know why Scarborough is also so slow its interesting, I applied to work for them so if I get the job I will make sure to work fast lol

In all seriousness good luck and speedy processing

I can understand application stuck in Background verification. But not getting test invite for such a long time is not right. Somewhere they have missed you in inviting for test. Would need a nudge from your side. Call, raise a webform. That would bring it to there notice.

raised a webform today, praying they do something now

An interesting fact, I learned while looking at the spreadsheet, it has a lot of great data, thought I would share.

The data below is for the August 2022 application.

All Numbers are represented in days.

Test to Decision Made	DM to Oath Letter	Oath Letter to Oath Ceremony		Application Complete in Days
55	28	23		232

Source: --> 2022 Citizenship applicants

I find it accurate, my application took longer to complete 314 days.

With the data below as well, and the fact that over 1M applications are in service standard and not 2M backlog means we will start to see faster processing, and the 809K application are all over 12 Months so basically everyone in this group is apart of that 1M.

Good Luck to you all, and I hope this gives you some hope that your application will be done by August, and not go over 12 months. (At least that is my dream)

Once tracker is updated with application closed, how soon should we expect the physical citizenship certificate? Do we get any email or update when they have shipped?

Also you can expect it anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks all depends on Canada post

I applied online in Aug 2022.
Background check done in Dec 2022
Citizenship Test invite in March 2023
Test complete on 18th of March
Test complete on 22nd of March
Ghost update on 24th of March

Niagara Processing Center

I got my GCMS notes, nothing unusual in there. Anything specific to look in there? I do see a note that physical presence is met in GCMS but status online says `In progress`. So far Background check and Citizenship test are in done state, rest all are in progress online except ceremony is not started.

Anyone knows what number can for IRCC I call on to check why isn't there any progress being made on this?
