Application Sent: July 10th
AOR: Aug 3rd
Citizenship invite: ?
Background complete: Aug 21th
Language completed: In Progress
Physical Presence : In Progress (1300+ days)
Prohibitions: In progress
Scheduled for test: Sept 25. (Online
Test completed: Sept 25th (online) passed temp online result, yet CIC tracker shows, not started)
Ceremony: In progress

The results and steps/checkpoints seems to be all over the show with CIC. Test done(today actual test online), background done, but rest all still in progress.
i assume any experiencing this.
wife was called for fingerprints, no completed sections on her or kids applications. She has already completed the online test (passed online test as well)
Wonder what the real average is for applications this year.

Wonder which processing office we are. My wife’s fingerprints were requested by Vancouver (we are around Ottawa area) and out online tests were from Ottaw based email. So not really sure.
All fingerprint requests come from Vancouver. Your processing office is Ottawa.

After submitting the fingerprints, When should we expect an update on the tracker that fingerprint are received/background complete?
For me: About 3 weeks after I submitted FP, my background was completed. I had sent an email to the address where I received fp request about 2 days before the status changed. They never replied and the auto-response reply said that they will not reply to status requests. Not sure my email mattered but I think it is a good idea to send them an email around 18-20 day mark after you submit FP's.

Yeah, my fingerprinting agency said something similar. they said if it takes longer than 20 days, first contact rcmp then the ircc. from the application google sheet, it seems mostly it takes 20 days. so it might be good idea to contact after about 20±5 days.

How long does it take for the tracker to get updated after completing the test? I took the test two days ago but there is no update on my tracker.

Mine was almost immediate, but I took the test on the very last day. So don't know if it automatically became completed since it was the last day of the window

No update since Aug 12th, anyone else in the same situation?

I called to ask about 2 things:

- A: I don't need to submit that pro-actively but they might ask me for updates about recent travel

- Q: What are the offices that are working on my application?
- A: Only Sydney office for now

That's an actual update and not a ghost update, the updates are usually 2 days behind. The update on the 16th was an actual update to reflect the changes that happened on the 14th.
