December 2019 - Citizenship Application

[Bains87]

Did you send them an email asking for update ? I sent an email to London office and got the oath invite within few days of my email and their response.
Worth a shot. Try.

How do you contact the local office? I cannot find any email for Surrey office

@Eyesburn18 did you get any update on your application? I noticed you have the same timeline as mine

It may take few weeks after expiry to get new FP request. Background verification won’t complete with expired fingerprints. Add 3-4 weeks for RCMP to send the report and your status update. Another 3-4 weeks for DM, than God knows how much time for the oath……

Is there petition for backlog cleaning?

Exactly how many of us who applied in 2019 are still waiting? As per the 2019 tracker, less than 50% of the people have received their Oath among the people who applied on or after June 2019

Update from Halifax office:
"we only have files from June 2019 or earlier in ceremony at this time. As your file is from later than that, your file will have some time spent waiting before ceremony"

I think December 2019 is long way to go.

Are they saying that there is no one after June 2019 got their oath invite? This is impossible. Even if it's true for Halifax, other offices are definitely giving oaths for much later applicants than June 2019. I don't know where their files are, but some Dec. 2020 applicants got their oath already, and even a Feb 2021 applicant I saw once. It don't think Halifax follows a different strategy than the rest of the offices. Yeah right, only June 2019 and before If they said "wait until your turn comes" is 1000x better than their reply.

I just found an April 2020 applicant in the spreadsheet done with their oath in Halifax Feb 2021. I am sure there are other instances, but one is enough to prove what they said is not true. That's why they keep updating where they are finalizing on their website: to give their replies legitimacy, while both are invalid against the reality

Folks,
I applied for citizenship in December 2019, got AOR in Feb 2020, background checks shows completed, but overall status is stucked in progress
I have not even received any test invite.

Is anyone in the similar situation as me?
What are my options?
Is there any email/contact I can reach out for an update?

Any advise will be really appreciated

Send them a webform. Your file is probably collecting dust somewhere in a corner, and hasn't been touched for months, while IRCC personnel are in their PJs watching Netflix at home, pretending to work on our hard-to-crack files.

Hi, yes!!! I am on the exactly time frame and situation. I had my MP contacted IRCC but they always say that at this point there is nothing to be done and I just need to wait. My file is still in process and in queue for the online test, however they have no idea when I will be invited to complete the test.
My PR card expired back in April and the processing time for a new one is about 5 months or so.
