Anyone know the current timeline for GCMS notes? It's been 120 days since my test was marked completed, 73 days since BG completed and nothing since - no passport pages request, no update on language/physical presence/prohibitions either -- I'm starting to get worried.

Those who applied for citizenship as a family - Did any of you face a situation where your citizenship certificates arrived separately? My certificate got delivered today.. but my spouse's document is not here yet..

I applied for Nexus as well. As per the CBSA website, they offer a decision of conditional approval within 30 business days. However, I'm not sure how much time CBP would take.
Is everyone doing their initial applications for Nexus? I'm in the process of doing a renewal application, and here's the message I receive when I log in:

"Due to a significant increase in application volume, we are extending the grace period from 18 months to 24 months for any submitted renewal application. This means you will continue to receive full benefits for 24 months while U.S. Customs and Border Protection is finalizing your renewal application."

I also see that the interview area now mentions virtual interviews...

They've introduced online interviews for people renewing their Nexus cards in some cases.

Thank you for your reply
Yes, I did check my spam folder and didnot found any email. Its citizenship application why they will ask for passport request? I will wait 2-3days then calling to IRCC. What is IRCC number?
Did you ever find out what the update was about?
