Question about spreadsheet: What do the different colours for the locations mean?

I'm not sure, I have access to edit, but I'm not the owner of the spreadsheet. But I believe it is for the tab about processing time by location. The colour are automatic, I'm not setting any colour when I'm adding an entry.

Oh okay! No worries. I just noticed Calgary is mostly green, but mine is red. Looks angry.

yes! But there is no stress for me with the citizenship process. I was stressed with the spousal sponsorship, it was a very long 22 months of process!

Hi Sylvain,

What is the pattern of Finger print request? It is for everyone ? or only for few people?

Hi Sylvain,

What is the pattern of Finger print request? It is for everyone ? or only for few people?

I don't know in the context of citizenship, but I know for having been implicated in coaching teenagers and being responsible for the background checks of other coaches with the local police that, systematically, coaches needed to give their fingerprints to police if someone with the same gender and same date of birth had criminal record in Canada. The police explained to me that it is unfortunately too easy to change name in Canada and that the criminal record does not always follow the new name. So, I can't affirm it is the same process in the context of citizenship, but that might be the case.

If you look in the spreadsheet for previous months, you will see that the majority of applicants are not requested to provide fingerprints. There is however a significant portion of people, roughly 15% of people that has to provide them.

Hello. So I have a question. I sent my application July 10, 2019. Supposed to be received July 16, 2019. Physical presence was 1105 days. Application sent from Edmonton. I moved after so sent email trying to update my mailing address. Received reply September 13th that they found my account (possibly from time I applied for PR) but didn't find my application for citizenship and advised me to contact postal office I used to send my package. Here I'm thinking maybe because I didn't get AOR I'm not in the system yet and should wait another few weeks or my application was lost for good? Hoping for your help.

It’s better to call IRCC, don’t wait. I just called them few days ago, because I sent out my application (July 2) without tracking number I still didn’t got AOR. Just wanted to have peace of mind that they got my application.
He found it on system and said I will receive AOR in next few weeks.
