I’m October 2021 applicant. Language and physical presence updated to complete in May 2023. Prohibitions is pending since then.Very similar situation here. My timeline is as follows:
AOR: Jan 10, 2023
BG completed: March 10, 2023
Test invite: March 15, 2023
Test completed: March 27, 2023
Language completed: May 30, 2023
Physical presence completed: May 30, 2023
No updates on prohibitions since May. GCMS notes says that all 3 of LPP were assigned to RC-8090 with a due date of January 7, 2024. It's a paper application with the primary office being Surrey IRCC.
Page 3 of the GCMS also mentions 'Grant Review Ready PM03'.
What was your timeline like?

Yes, completed back in March 2023.wow... thats crazy...
is your background check already completed?
I am really disappointed .why they keep doing something like that to people?I also ran into this, but I had mandamus in progress, so they hurried up with completing prohibitions in about a month. I never found out what the deal was; I ordered ATIP notes after the oath, which were slightly redacted, and the email stated this:
Disclosed in part
Section(s) of the Act applied (if applicable): 21 The detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities, 22(1)(b) law enforcement and investigation
Not sure if this is normal, or they were hoping to find something exciting in my incredibly boring existence. My guess, they just didn't feel like working, so they made an excuse.
I also had a PR card renewal in progress at the time, which was severely delayed as well.
ATIP email for that one said:
Disclosed in part
Section(s) of the Act applied (if applicable): 22(1)(b) law enforcement and investigation
and they removed 15 page of notes for some reason.
Still waiting since July 21 2023Folks waiting for prohibitions to turn green, any updates to share?

For me its 2 months since everything got completed except prohibition!I did a small analysis on the 2023 citizenship applications sheet, and on average it takes 34 days to complete prohibitions for 2023 applicants. Although, note that there's been only 3 people that had an issue like this. So the data might be highly inaccurate. Here's the "data."

Do they not tell you what exactly is causing prohibitions to take too long? Like yeah, I know my prohibitions is in progress lol, but why?For me its 2 months since everything got completed except prohibition!
I called them last week and told me everything is normal. Just waiting your visa office to review your prohibition. That's really annoying!
I asked if something is blocking my application. He said that no, everything is normal. You just have to wait your visa office to review the prohibition partDo they not tell you what exactly is causing prohibitions to take too long? Like yeah, I know my prohibitions is in progress lol, but why?
