August 2022 Citizenship Applications

[RefugeeHelp1]

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?

That is normal LLP all get updated at the same time so they will keep it in progress until.

Also You are still within the normal processing window so IRCC will give you a random reply like they give everyone.

The number is on google for their call centre, and call centre agents tends to have the same info as we have in our tracker, or they will tell you some nonsense to get you off the line, I find them to be useless TBH

Good luck to u

Okay so no point in calling them basically. I'm worried because my US H1B expires in September because I work cross border, ie. in USA on H1B. I can renew my visa now but it'd be some hassle. If I can get citizenship by then - then I'd not have to renew H1B stamp via embassy, I can just go to border with approved petition and Canadian passport to get my visa stamped so I'm in a bit of dilemma.

I would say apply for urgent, your case is not urgent, you basically are working outside of Canada they do not much care about that, so calling will just let them trigger an interview on your file or delay but good luck

Cool makes sense, I'm not worried about interview date, most probably it'll be like last time - just mail in my passport and they'd stamp. But I still have to fill up DS160 and apply and pay fees etc

Hi Jaxon, great thanks for sharing, I was just trying to understand, so when your tracker gets updated which is today to LPP complete, did you also receive an email stating that the tracker is updated ?
