Anyone else stuck with fingerprints & the Canada Post strike? I called IRCC today are yet to receive my fingerprints. I submitted fingerprints on Nov 8.

I received the fingerprint request on October 29th and provided my fingerprints to an authorized agency on October 30th. They confirmed that the RCMP processed my request on the same day, October 30th. However, I haven't received any updates from IRCC, and the status is still in progress.

If the test letter states it that's all the confirmation you need unfortunately.

You may need to borrow a laptop, go to a library etc. We had to borrow a PC and webcam.

Do we need to book for citizenship exam or just click on the link and take the exam whenever we feel we are ready? I see that there is a link in the email that they sent which says just click on the link when you are ready to take a test. Does that mean there is no booking of a slot for the exam?

Just click on the link when you are ready .. obviously it should be between the dates mentioned but you can take at anytime during the day

Yea, anytime within the window. I believe you get 45 minutes to finish it once started and you have three attempts.

Yup - just how it says - click the link and start any time.

Hello, Did you get the test email first in your inbox before the background check completed on the tracker ?

I've only had the test invite and completed. Nothing else - all still in progress.

Hi, anyone with LPP and Background completed, waiting for Decision / Oath invite?

I gave my test on 23rd and cleared it. I’m very worried about the quality of the photo of my ID.

Application filed - Sep 19th
Activity status updated - Citizenship Test: Nov 6th (In progress)

Question: In my tracker‘s “Your next steps” it still shows as ‘Take the citizenship test’. Is this normal?

My Saga of Citizenship: The Official Timeline

1. Application Submission: Sep 27, 2024
   I officially tossed my hat (and passport) into the ring. Let’s see if this maple syrup obsession pays off.
2. Test Request: Nov 18, 2024
   The phone rings, and it’s my time to shine. “Time to prove I know more than just poutine and hockey!”
3. Background Verification Complete: Nov 22, 2024
   They’ve checked my background—no surprise, no criminal record! I’m clean as a fresh snowfall.
4. Test Given: Nov 26, 2024
   Cue the nervous sweating. Can I remember the names of all 10 provinces without Googling? Spoiler alert: I nailed it!
5. Citizenship Test Completed: Nov 29, 2024
   Done and dusted! I passed, and now I’m practically a walking, talking maple leaf.

Processing Office: Niagara Falls
Where the paperwork flows as fast as the falls themselves… which is to say, slowly but majestically.

Total Physical Presence: 1178
1178 days spent getting cozy with the Canadian soil. I’ve practically got maple syrup running through my veins by now.

Cheers!

Just checking if I’m one of the only one who got AOR later in September (27 Sept) who hasn’t received a test invite yet? It would be interesting to know in what order they process applications
