March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[chs]

You just reminded me something like gcsm notes exist, ordered now, how long did you wait for them?

When I ordered my notes, I think it took almost exactly a month to be delivered; I ordered it last October, got it the following November at the same date minus one day.

Anyone recently called CIC to check their status? Is it the generic answer?

I did yesterday, got a message by the CIC agent that all checks are completed, and waiting for test invite. I am not sure whether this information is correct. She said, 2019 test inviation are in-progress, do not know as 2020 applications needs to wait more.

I am planning to request GCMS notes, and see

True. Except you got lucky!

Lucky? Nope, I haven't received any test invite yet...

I wonder if all the applicants they tested the online test with were the ones from December 2020 and on.......
I am also discouraged when reading this line: “This has been successful thus far. At this point, the new testing platform is still being assessed,” said Zaidan.
What can they possibly still be assessing? It's been successful, it's working. Open it up to more people, but go in order by date applied I have half a mind to cancel my paper application and just send a new one online.

You would think this is a free government service we are applying for, but we actually paid them hundreds of dollars for this, only to be kept in limbo

Hello Everyone

I Submitted my application on the 10th of March 2020 and received AOR on September 3rd 2020. Any idea when the invite for knowledge test or further information is expected for March applicants?

Thank you

They are currently finalizing March 2019 applicants. For March 2020, I would say they will finalize March 2022. So tests will be few months ahead of this possibly end of this year. This is a guess based on their HUGE backlog.

I'm wondering the same, as I'm currently outside Canada for personal reasons. Can anyone help with this question please...regarding the possibility of fingerprints being sent from outside Canada? Thanks so much!
