Criminality expires in a year. So for the candidates whoever start giving fingerprints would have to give every year unfortunately, till oath is complete.
So possibly another fingerprint request.

This morning everything (except Oath/ Ceremony status) was updated to COMPLETED!

What is the average time frame between the updated status and Oath invite? Cheers!

News: today the minister of immigration announced that Canada will take in 20,000 Afghan refugees.
Comment: This means 20,000 days of more delays

Buddy. Immigration intake is not random. Its always based on annual planned quota in any country.

Whether they increase the capacity at cic to process relevant applications(PR, Citizenship etc) is different matter which you can certainly point this problem.

I've updated the spreadsheet.

There isn't a standard timeline. Check the spreadsheet to see a ballpark figure of how long it might take. To avoid disappointment, it is best to expect it'll take at least 2 months to receive an oath notification.

All the best!

With the current situation, the more they take the more our applications get delayed, especially refugees are given priority over normal applicants. I am compassionate to the situation of refugees around the world, but brining them at these times with the huge backlog comes at our expense in terms of processing time. I am not against bringing refugees, but with the current limited capacity IRCC is working with, and the the huge backlog, this means more delay for us. I am stating facts. Not giving my political opinion.

The minister of immigration said yesterday that the immigration target number for 2021 will be met. This means 2021 applications will be given priority over older applicants like us because (probably) the target number for 2019 has already been met. How disappointing to know for sure how they operate, and that we are officially the Forgotten Applicants

How much do you think this election will slow down our applications?

It shouldn't have an effect in theory.

Suppose IRCC are spying on us on what we say here, and I assume this isn't impossible mission if they put some resources, although I would be surprised with their limited capacity in processing applications nowadays. Do you think they can punish us for saying things (like they are inefficient or incompetent) by delaying our applications more, for example, or they would take it in the spirit of free speech in a democratic country?
