July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[Fawny43]

Damn it looks like it's not going to be until July that our application's are going to even be looked at if its done in weekly batches

We’re currently finalizing most applications we received between

March 10 and 16, 2019 ?

If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it

Exactly 12 months backlog. Yes, it's 2019.

I didn't put the question mark there. It's what I copied and pasted from the website

Exactly 12 months backlog. Yes, it's 2019.

when you click on that little question mark from their website beside the dates it says "In the past 3 months, the majority (80%) of the applications we’re finalizing were received during this period. " --- what does it means ?

Okay so I think this is just literal meaning, ONLY MY PERSONAL SPECULATIONS. But I think it means in the past 3 months, among all the applications they are currently working on, 80% are received by IRCC in that time frame. Quick example, based on what they said: if they were working on 10 applications in the past 3 months, about 8 of them are received in the timeframe given by them.

I hope this clears things up. Again, it's my personal view.

@cAmAiR12 you can be out as long as 3 years. Have to be back or present in Canadafor the TEST and Oath. And one month after Oath, as your PR card is cut on day of Oath. So once you get your passport, you can travel again.

Hello group! I had my test cancelled in March 2020. There was radio silence until now, today I see an update online stating below:

We sent you correspondence on March 19, 2021. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

I haven't received any communication yet. I am guessing since it was sent on a friday, I may see something in my mailbox or inbox next week.

Has anyone seen a similar update? Any idea what documents they may require?

As @Cafollower said look for the email in your spam folder. All communications come via email. I have never received anything by post. Well if you don't see the email by Monday, try checking using a webform.

CIC was sitting on my file for months and then I sent them a request via Web Form to prioritize my application by justifying my essential service to Canada and within 5 days received the test invitation. Today, along with my wife, passed the test and waiting for next steps
Any idea, how long it may take to receive the test validation email and invitation to oath?

There's no such a thing as a test validation email. You could have opted to send the test results yourself at the end of the test. You can call them several days after the test to see if the results have been uploaded and the test has been marked as passed. Oath invitations have been very scarce if any in the last several weeks, bit in your case it might take faster than longer. Good luck!
