So after taking 7 pills of advil, i re-read my GCMS again . My file was last transferred from Montreal citizenship to Montreal Citizenship -CEN for clearances. And clearances means the ones that expire ( immigration and criminality ) since secu is valid for 4 years. My file ,since march 2021 has been sitting in registry. What is the current time to get clearances from Mr Rcmp and to update by IRCc .

I wouldn't know that, I'm sorry. All I can say is that immigration and criminality clearances are valid for 1 year only. So, if they don't finalize the application by then, those clearances need to be done again.

I wonder if there is any law that says to recheck them again after 1 year (or) is it just an arbitrary check internally they decided to do after 12 months(because most of the applications finalized with in 1 year in normal days)

That is what I meant too. I know criminality that needs to be renewed but which one is immigration clearance ?

My family has been awaiting the oath for some time from Scarborough center and the online system is showing that the oath is scheduled for 12th July. However, we have never received any oath email and upon calling the call center they told us that there is a technical glitch and I have approached the person who has my wife after the test and has also submitted the web form, but still no response. What should I do?

Looks like the word "contacted" was unintentionally missed between the words "has" and "my" by the OP in that sentence.

When did you see oath update in online tracker? I mean when did they imitate? i think the email comes few days before but should not be this close. You might receive it by friday. Good luck. I doubt we have system glitch heard for oath invites. we heard only interview invites with glitch.

Call them. It seems odd indeed.

Yes, I wonder what is "immigration clearance" as well. Is it different from criminality (rcmp)? What is it?

Immigration checks are performed by IRCC, I believe. There isn't a lot of information about this but I think this check ensures that you aren't under a removal order or you don't have problems with the CBSA or your immigration status as a PR is not in question at this time.

 

[rajkamalmohanram]

Hey. I had my oath ceremony. The oath stage on my application timeline has been changed to completed but the application is still "In Progress".
My question is when does the whole application change to completed. Also, how long does it take to recieve the certificates. Thanks

It should happen a few days / weeks after the oath. IRCC says it could take from 4 - 6 weeks to receive your citizenship certificate (depends on where you live).

Criminality and immigration check comprise the "Background Check", right? And why would your PR be in question if not for "Physical Presence", which is a distinct element altogether? Shouldn't "Physical Presence" then be part of "Background Check"?

No. Security and Criminality checks make up "Background Checks". Immigration checks are done by IRCC (and possibly by CBSA as well, I'm not sure).

Background check doesn't deal with residency requirements. It deals with criminality and security requirements (making sure you are not ineligible because of criminal reasons or you aren't a security threat to Canada).

"Physical Presence" deals with your physical presence requirements - to ensure if you have stayed in Canada for at least 1095 days during the eligibility period. They will also verify if you have lied in your physical presence calculator - CBSA is certainly involved in these checks. They check your entry and exit records and if they want to scrutinize further, they could ask you for additional documents (I-94 if you had multiple trips to the US or all the pages of your passport to check stamps) etc.
