Good morning,

Is anyone else stuck in the Scarborough queue? IRCC received my application at the end of July 2018, started processing in October 2018.

I've heard nothing since.

I called a few times recently (my MP's office did too), always the same answer: all good, long queue.

Anyone else on the same boat? Is it worth calling again?

Thanks.

Me tooo !I contacted the call centre and Mp got the same reply security and criminal checks are currently valid and immigration verification has not been initiated yet.

My timeline
App received 3rd July 2018,
Aor received 28th August 2018
In process 4th September 2018
Fingerprints request 26th march 2019
Fingerprints submitted 27th March 2019 and received and updated by them on 15th April 2019.
Still no test invite.
I just ordered GMCS notes on 25th November 2019.
I was thinking of taking a copy of AoR,citizenship fees Receipt and fingerprints letter to the Scarborough office in person to check whats happening...I think we all few of us together should go as a group and ask them in person in their office.Please email me rahuul.chawla369@gmail.com if you guys want to discuss furthur about this.

I am in the same situation, my file was transferred from mississauga to scarborough.
my time line:

application received on june 22, 2018
we started processing your application on sept 11, 2018
status in process

I called CIC 4 time with the same answer: everything is ok with your application, in que for the test.
although the CIC sent 2 inquiries for scarborough office, but still waiting.
Moreover, I filled a webform 10 days ago and no answer.

I don't know if immigration offices receive clients in person. if someone visited immigration office in person so please share us information how this can be done.

thanks

While it may not be a positive answer, you cannot visit and do anything in person. The Scarborough office for example there are only a few people you could speak to and unless you are there at their request for a test/interview/oath they will just tell you to contact IRCC via webform/phone.

Given it's now been way more than 12 months your best hopes here are to try calling them and seeing if you can get a better answer (doubtful), requesting GCMS notes and/or contacting your MP.

I got my GCMS Notes. I found nothing out of the ordinary (it's been 18m now since they received my application). The only thing I found odd was that it said "Scarborough Office - ORANGE TAG TEST READY".

Any idea what "Orange Tag Test Ready" means?
