I was just looking at the spreadsheet, looks weird how EVERYONE who submitted their fingerprints is still waiting for the background check to complete.
December 2023 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter forw.jane
- Start date
I realized that, too, but it is not the case for January 2024 applicants.
That’s right. They received my FB on March 6, have had not update till today ( just a ghost update with a change in date UPDATED March 27).
Jan 2024 applicants with Fingerprint recd have the BG Completed within one week of FP receipt date. New month, new process to manage applications!
Background still pending (Stuck at security as per IRCC agent last week). No updates on my end since LPP.
Please keep us posted should you see any movement. Seems like a new pattern now especially with Mississauga Office.

Yes, they received my fingerprints and completed everything else aside from background, which I found absolutely weird.
If this is the case, then why would they process January applicants to oath ceremony and keep December applicants on the back-burner? Doesn't make sense to me.
I don’t think it’s the fingerprints per se that are causing this, more so our application timing.
For example, I don’t need fingerprints and I’m also waiting (I think a few others are too).
I think what a previous user posted is likely the case. Our month is likely on pause while they scramble to reduce the backlog from that 12-16 month cutoff. It annoyingly makes sense for them to reallocate staff off a single period and carry on processing January onwards applicants. I wonder if it’s because less people may have applied in December.
What the approach is after this is a little concerning.
The good news is that it doesn’t seem to be the worst case scenario where there’s a complex issue with our individual applications since there seems to be a lot of us on hold.

check your test invitation email ( Bottom of the letter), you will find your secondary office. Sydney is the main office for sending AORs.
i didn't find in my letter but the email came from DN SCR Citizenship e-Apps / Demandes en ligne Citoyenneté SCR RN (IRCC), so i think it's Scarborough
Your office is Scarborough. unfortunately its one of the slowest offices
