It's just a perpetual delay: my RCMP criminality was done over a year ago with 'no reportable trace', but since over a year has passed and my process is still no done yet, they decided they need to ask RCMP to check my criminality again! which is probably a good decision since there's a good chance people can go insane with the long wait and the incompetency IRCC, and do something crazy - I didn't do that though

So keep in mind: even if your background checks are already cleared, if you have waited for a while, chances are they'd think your background check would need update again and will take even longer to finish your case...

same boat as you except not even a test yet=). Done all that plus sent complaint letters to Ministers office.

Retained a lawyer now, so let's see if that changes anything.

Some of my friends were teasing me and saying 'you must have done something illegal...'
I wish I did, then at least I'd know what the delay is about lol

lol true. No issues with the law. My lawyer told me its probably due to my extensive travel in the past 10 years.

Mine wasn't even extensive...
total of less than 90 days during the eligibility period... 2 countries only, nowhere near the war zone or any problematic areas...

All my friends who were saying the same thing to me, and thinking they are getting delayed because of me, already got their citizenship. What an irony!
