October 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[JuCW]

Is there anyone here with Scarborough office who got test invite?
Is Scarborough office really slow, or is it slow for all offices equally?

I have friends who did.

Update from me:

IRCC Vancouver received my FP results probably in the week of Mar 8-12 (last week).

Mar 17 - I received a call from an IRCC case officer clarifying some details of my application.

Mar 18 - Decision Made in ECAS as well as a personal email from my case officer saying they are approving my application.

I am now waiting for oath invite.

Update from me: I received another email from The Vancouver office. They are also requesting me to send them photocopies of all my passport pages for the passport valid from May 2015 to Sep 2019. It's getting more and more interesting...

I wish they have told me months ago so that I could have sent this beforehand.

Many people did including me. It's quite random right now.

Congrats! Vancouver really likes simple processes. I'm just waiting for my interview on the 31st now.

Congratulations! It seems like Scarborough is the only office likes interviews. I've barely seen anyone from Mississauga or Hamilton got interview requests lol

Is there anyone who didn't receive their DM the day after interview? My interview was on Monday and I'm still In Process :-( I realized I had some discrepancies in the physical presence calculator but I still had a buffer.

That's interesting. You may follow up with the officer if you'd like. But it should come eventually if everything is in order.

I took the test on Mar 15th 2021. No update so far. Online status still shows 'In Process'.

My PR expired today.
Not that i have some pending travel soon. But the feeling that i cant travel outside country now is messed up.

I get you...my PR Card also expires next week. Although, I anticipated the delay and sent in my application for a card renewal in January but there's no feedback from them on that either. The feeling of potentially being unable to travel out of Canada and back freely is definitely real!

I can understand the feeling. My native passport expired in November'2020. I just took a chance and decided to wait. Although, I had no plans to travel during this pandemic times, its is always good to have valid travel documents like passport/PR Card in case need for emergency travel comes up. Once, I am done with the oath, I will immediately be applying for the Canadian passport. Fingers crossed.

From what read on various forums, no invites have been sent or oath ceremonies conducted in March'2021 so far. This is not verified though.
