What documents are required for writing the test and oath ? Is the passport mentioned in the citizenship application required to be "active" ? My passport is about the expire. I am trying to decide if I should go ahead and renew my passport. Apparently it is taking quite long for passport renewal. Thanks.
I heard they require 2 pieces of ID during the oath ceremony. They will ask also to destroy your PR online.
Hi Everyone,
Thank you s23srinivas for posting the link. I accessed my online application and just discovered that my application was received and in process from March 4, 2020.
It seems that the mailing address on my profile was still the old one for my representative in the immigration process. I updated the mailing address so they can contact me in future.
My application details:
family size : 4
application sent : December 5, 2019
application received : December 11, 2019
AOR : February 18, 2020
In Process: March 4, 2020

Hey @Abhishek901 - How do you know when your FP results were mailed by RCMP? I have done my through an approved institution called Commissionaires of BC (British Columbia).
Below is my timeline:
Family status - My wife and I
Location - Vancouver
Physical presence - 1140 days
Application sent - Dec 6, 2019
Application received by IRCC - Dec 10, 2019
AOR - Feb 28, 2020
In processing - Mar 11, 2020
Fingerprint request - Mar 12, 2020
Fingerprint taken by approved institution: Mar 13,2020
Fingerprint results sent by RCMP to CIC - ???
Should I fill out the web form to confirm they received my FP results?
Your case went into the in process status just before covid-19 hit.I have a question,
on my timeline it does not have the line of "Fingerprint request". The last line is "In Processing". Does this mean they did not ask for FP or they could sent it by email and I did not get it?
Thank you
So it is highly likely they have not asked for a finger print yet. IRCC sends a followup/reminder mail/ecas update if they do not get any reply for their request from the applicant.
Also, not everyone is asked for a FP. So don't worry.
Wait and hope the processing gets faster.
All the best.
I emailed RCMP to check and they replied back. This is the email - CCRTIS-SCICTR@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Share your name and DCN number (or whatever identification number you received after fingerprints were taken) in your email.
Guys i dont know if i am the only one feeling this here , but with covid19 situation, stress at work, family, delays on job interviews, delays in the cashier if at any store due to sanitation , delays on application.. etc etc ..
it is overwhelming and I am finding myself loosing patience with everything happening at once, I don't know for how long this situation is going to last, some would say this is the new normal and for a while.
some positive news would really make my day, if anyone heared anything about the process please share, I hope IRCC start processing soon , at least this would relief some of the stress we are feeling those days.

Hey,
I don't know if it will helpbut still I'm gonna say
you are not the only one feeling like this. I totally understand with all the stress and anxiety. I feel the same maybe more sometimes. I sent my file in Feb 2019, In process since June,2019. Im still waiting for the test.Called them before pandemic lock down. I think on 26 February, 2020. Call center lady told me since its just 6 days over the 12 months period. She said I should be patient about it since she saw in the system someone was recently working on my file. Until today no news. I have never been so stressed. All we can do is wait and I know you already know this. Hang in there. I'm hoping they will start calling people for tests while following social distancing. I hope and pray. One good news I would say is getting coverage from some news channel(websites). Things might start to move again a little.
