March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[luvtrump]

I have been waiting for oath since May 11th Saskatoon office. So far nothing but DM.

Wear some banana leaves and do a belly dance infront of their office , they might notice that an oath is in pending .

Apparently as per end of April 2021 report, there are about 374,100 or so backlogged citizenship applicant held in the limbo club membership. I reckon this number has only grown since then till now. Wonder what their plans are to mitigate this.

This might be the full count of pending ones. Any idea how many are above 12 months which is the real backlog?

I don't think they will release that as then we will be able to quantify their incompetence this way.

I was checking the requirements to apply as an IRCc officer. They had a requirement

Must be qualified incompetent and have 5 years of experience being incompetent.

I doubt that we have the experience matching their specific requirement. So its going to be hard to get selected.

All my in progress sections were changed to Completed today. Can I expect a decision made soon? Is it reflected on the new tracker when I get decision made? Also I moved to a new province this week so I am thinking I should update my address.

Well, you already have a Decision Made if all the statuses were set to "Completed". The new dashboard won't show "Decision Made". Check ECAS and you'll see DM status.

I've updated the spreadsheet!

Changing address now might change the processing office, I'm not sure. I'll let someone who had to change address before oath respond.

Anyone recently got a GMCS and have a line under org/entities saying "one time waiver CIT processing"? I called CIC today and they said they don't know and it's internal. How do I know what it is?

I gave citizenship exam on 30th June and my all status got updated to complete on 29th June except test and Oath. The test is updated on 5th July. Oath is not yet started.
However my wife's status of test is not yet updated to complete. She gave her exam on 1st July and her all status are in complete on 29th June itself except Test & Oath.
Is it something to worry about? It's been 15 days that her test status is not yet updated complete in new tracker.

I am in a similar situation. My wife and I gave the test on the same date (July 1st). She got her test staus as completed on July 5th, and I am still waiting for my test status to change.

We both got passport requests, so I am not too worried about the test status though (as of now).

Sometimes officer takes time to mark it complete since the officer needs to attend that file. He/she doesnt work on all files immediately. Good that other ones are marked complete and just the test one pending which will be completed soon as usually test completion happens sooner than other sections.

You are right, it's decision made for me. Only oath left now. Any idea how long for oath after decision made? Also I wasn't asked for copies of passport pages. Can they still request after decision made?
