January 2020 - citizenship application

[aquamila]

Could you please share when your BG check completed? Do you know it’s start date as well?

I don't know when BG check was started since I found out about a new tracker on May 11, checked my case and saw that the background verification status was updated to completed on Jan 26, 2021.

Well, nobody can tell you that. The timelines are not the same for all applicants.

It depends on the local office , the officer processing your file, the complexities of your file and whether your file is routine or not. There are some offices in the GTA that are either inefficient OR overloaded OR both.

I would recommend that you assume the processing time to be 18 months (sometimes more) to avoid disappointment.

You might want to check the tracker to see if any applicants from Kitchener have received any updates lately.

My husband completed the test on April 22, and has not heard anything since, it is not even updated on the new tracker that his test is completed, so who knows.

Hi All,

My tracker shows that an interview is scheduled for June 7th and that I will receive further information; haven't received any email yet.

Please let me know what are the typical materials to be gathered in preparation for the interview.

Also, I haven't travelled outside Canada since I landed as a PR. Is the purpose of the interview to assess my language skills?

Thanks.

They usually check your passport and verify the stamps to confirm you have not indeed left the country like you declared on your application. They might ask for the originals of the documents submitted with the application. Should be pretty simple.

You'll receive an email soon enough with the instructions on what documentation you should prepare.

Good luck!

Ok, thanks for the info. Must be straightforward then. Thanks again.
