All Ottawa October applicants

Hey, my situation seems similar to you. Passed test on March 1st, but officer told that security clearance is pending. Whats your status now? Do you know how much time this security clearance takes?
Good luck

I'm still waiting.

There is no way to find out how long the security clearance process takes, as CSIS will no longer release information about clearances in progress. The CO said that she expected my citizenship ceremony to happen within "one to two months"... so I'm (impatiently) waiting.

Hopefully we wont have to wait for long. Keep me posted.

The documents you need to take to the oath are mentioned in the letter. It includes the original version of the documents you submitted including the passports, ID s that you submitted like PR card and driver license. For me the officer checked the passports and the driver license. Make sure you take all the documnets mentioned in the letter with you to the interview. If you have non English stamps in your passport most likely the officer will request the translation of those stamps as well

For all Ottawans still waiting, keep hope and keep smiling. Why ? Ottawa is now the fastest IRCC office in the country.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16cfQUVB3j56QktacolbsAxpNlOrvk2uFGZzm_ZFCnfg/edit

The best way is to download it as MS Excel file, then open it offline with the MS Excel, don't browse it online with your browser it is too slow.

You can get all kind of citizenship applications processing data from that spreadsheet, including your local IRCC office statistics.

You still can request one through Privacy Act directly from CSIS

They have changed their policies and will no longer release information about the status of a clearance request.

It is at this point possible only to ask for the information CSIS holds about you, but that does not include process information (and also excludes information that would expose their procedures and sources), so IMO it's not worth the hassle.

Hi Ottawa applicants:

I did a family application - 2 adults and 2 kids.
My timeline is
AOR Oct 30
IP Jan 10
Test date: March 1
DM: March 3rd

My only concern is that my wife;s status has not changed yet. She had to provide FP before the test. I did not have to. She submitted them 3 weeks before the test. We both passed the test and the officer said we would be invited for the Oath within 1-2 months. My application status changed to DM 2 days after the test. My wife's has not changed yet. I called CIC today. The agents said the fingerprint has reached them and will be updated eventually.

I am wondering if someone has passed through the same issue and how long it took to be updated in the ECAS.

Kind regards to all.
