Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

[TechTimer]

The search always goes with Name, D.O.B first.. Then First Name and Last Name, so on....

Just need a clarification. Did you correct your name or Date of Birth in your birth country during this waiting period ?

What I learned from the CSIS screening is, all the Citizenship applications go for CSIS Integrated Bank Search to prove no Anti Money Laundering (AML) or terrorist financing was done. CSIS searches for the Name and D.O.B in your birth country using KYC (Know Your Customer Data & Identification) system and validates your details.
If the Name and D.O.B matches and there is no red indicators, CSIS will share the recommendation to IRCC. IRCC completes the Background verification based on response from CSIS on Security Screening and Criminality clearance from RCMP.
In case, if the Name and D.O.B doesn't match, then your application goes into the waiting period with no further action from CSIS.

With this assessment, I did verification of my documents like Passport, Tax Assessment (PAN, TIN), Driving License, Bank Accounts where all my personal details matches correctly.
However, recently i discovered even though all the documents has the correct details, my personal details specifically D.O.B in the KYC (Know Your Customer) system is updated incorrectly and not matching with my identify documents.
Personal data goes to KYC system through your Bank.

Strange thing here is Bank is having the correct data but KYC is having incorrect data.

To resolve this mismatch, now, I have requested to re-KYC by providing the supporting documents.

How did you find your data is incorrectly registered in KYC?

No, my name and date of birth have been the same everywhere and I didn't correct or change anything. I don't have information about the KYC system.

You can get to know when you open Bank account or trading account in your residing country Reserve Bank or Federal Banka. Also through Credit Check in your residing country

After 33 months of waiting and diligently checking my tracker every day, my journey has finally reached a successful conclusion—everything has turned green! I am scheduled to take my citizenship oath in early March. It has been a long and stressful journey, but the wait was worth it. For those still in the process, I truly understand how challenging and emotionally exhausting it can be. Stay hopeful, and I sincerely wish each of you the best of luck. Your time will come soon!

I hired a lawyer nearly a year ago to initiate the writ of mandamus process. Once the court approved the leave and scheduled a hearing date, my application finally began to progress and was ultimately finalized. Prior to that, I had exhausted all possible avenues, including contacting my Member of Parliament, emailing the Minister of Immigration, and reaching out to the Director of CSIS, among others. When all other efforts proved unsuccessful, I proceeded with the writ of mandamus as a last resort

I filed for a writ of mandamus a year ago, which turned out to be a lengthy and costly process.

Basically, your file got processed since you have filed "Writ of Mandamus". If you are comfortable in sharing, please let us know how much the lawyer charged ?
Same as you, I tried the following options and nothing was helpful,
1. Met MP and created a file to follow up with IRCC officer
2. Sent letter to Immigration Minister requesting a decision on my Citizenship file
3. Sent letter to PM's office requesting a decision on my Citizenship file
4. Sent Web Form with latest Police Clearance Certificate not objecting Canadian Citizenship to IRCC officer
5. Sent letter to IRCC officer to separate my spouse and kid's file, so that they get the Citizenship
5. Mailed Director of CSIS

Finally, I figured out that my DOB and Name search failed due to mismatch.
Now, I am in the process of correcting my Name and DOB mismatch in PAN, Income Tax Department tax form, Bank CKYC, Equity/Mutual Funds CKYC in the backend.

Check your CKYC for the name and DOB. Your printed documents might have correct details, however there is a chance where your name or DOB are incorrectly updated in the backend.
Your details can be verified using CKYC.
Ex: Swapping of First Name, Last Name.. adding an extra letter in your name, one number more/less on ur DOB, etc...

I went through all of these 5 steps.

I paid a total of approximately 7,000 CAD for the process. It consists of three stages, with payments required at each stage if a decision is not reached. The entire process typically takes about a year. In my case, I filed a writ of mandamus after 20 months.
