Everything marked completed and waiting for Oath invitation since 29 May 2024, today I called IRCC told the agent if everything marked completed why there is a delay in sending me oath invitation, she replied nothing is required from my side, and there are some verifications is in process. My question what are those verifications after an application passed all requirement? Any idea?

Did anybody get update?
I have never seen update since December last year when I passed the citizenship test.
Clearly, processing time of citizenship is 8 months according to the IRCC website, but nothing changed yet.
I really have no idea about reason why it is delayed too much.
Hi.. same boat.. I got my Language and Physical presence updated to complete on June 12… it has been the only update since dec 23 when they got my fingerprints… background verification and prohibition still in process

Yes! Submitted Oct 9 in Montreal, LP completed;
Prohibition and BG: In process.
I don't know why my application is taking this long. My friend submitted her app about the same time (in Ontario) and got her citizenship certificate a few months ago.
Hi.. same boat.. fingerprints received by ircc on dec 20, 2023.. BG and prohibition still in process.. LP completed in June. My younger brother submitted his sometime Jan 24 , took oath last month.

Hi.. my application is very similar.. so, it took you a few days over two months to go from Language & Physical presence complete to prohibitions complete.. I got mine completed on 12th June.. curious to know if your BG was complete before you got your test invite (just noticing that there are very few like me who have their BG pending for this long) ?

Hello... my application is very similar also, my BG still pending for so long, I did submit my finger prints in Dec 2023 and got them updated with others items completed since March 2023, only BG still in progress, any idea what are they doing and how long it would take ?
I did call them several times but they didn't give me any clue.
