September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[MoreTokens123]

when did you send your fp ?

I sent my fingerprints the same day they requested it, July 29th

I've added you to the spreadsheet.

Prohibitions is one last check before they make a decision on your application AFAIK. So, it is like a last minute quick-check to see you are still free of any criminal charges or if you are still not prohibited to be granted citizenship.

There isn't a standard timeline anymore. It is all over the place. To avoid disappointment, expect it'll take between 3 and 5 months for you to become a Canadian Citizen after the test results are validated . Might happen much sooner.

Good luck!

Thanks so much! I had no idea that it's generally the last check. Sorry, what does AFAIK stand for?
Also, how does everyone get their information on where their application is being processed? I see that some people are saying that it is in Mississauga /etc.

This thread rocks, thank you <3

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

You can find that out by looking at the email you received your test invitation from. If it says MIS, it is Mississauga. SCR is Scarborough. If you, however, received your test email directly from an officer's email ID (firstname.lastname@cic.gc.ca), then you can call IRCC and ask them which office your application is being processed in. You can also find it in your GCMS notes.

You are amazing!!! It says MIS. Did they ask you for your passport pages? I was a little confused about this, I guess it will take even longer to process since they're verifying physical presence through passport proof...

Yes, I (and several others) were asked for PP copies to be sent to them. The spreadsheet should contain the details. There were at least 5 applicants (or more) who were asked for PP copies.

Being asked for PP copies isn't really a bad thing. It is better than not hearing back from IRCC for a long time.

Hi, I am trying to locate the said, "spreadsheet". Can some one guide me? I want to see the processing trend.

Secondly, my test shown completed after the test but background and all other are shown still in progress? Can some one guide me if its normal? I mean even background is still "in progress"

Thanks.

Can anyone reply my second question please?

Given the timeline, I have to now apply for the renewal of PR card. Are PR card applications 'paper only' or they have moved to online applications as well? thanks

Submitted webform inquiring about my FP's submitted on 7th July. Got a reply saying that they have NOT received them yet!

It can take 2-3 months before they receive them and someone updates the system with the information.

Hello guys! I just received the below email from Scar office:

This letter is in reference to your application for Canadian Citizenship and is further to your correspondence received at our office.

Our records indicate that you require a hearing with a citizenship officer; as such regular processing times no longer apply.

Please note that due to the current measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID 19) IRCC is not scheduling in person appointments at this time. Once hearings resume you will be notified with a date and time to appear.
