I am in exact same scenario as I am. I sent same day they received differently but also april/23rd my BG check is marked as complete and nothing else after that so I am willing to request ATIP to see if that provides me with some additional info. The thing is that will take time as well
From Where are you applying?

Hi All!

I just want to see if I understand these time lines, please see below, In one of them says Dec.21st, on the other one says Feb/26 as the date it has been filed, so which date should I be considering as starting point considering that BGC was done and marked as completed and as far as I know it means, no issues right?. Therefore my question is what is it taking so long? :

so If I check my case through Case number the old location I get this:

Citizenship
  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 21, 2020.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on February 26, 2021.
  3. We started processing your application on April 8, 2021.
Then When I check the dates in the new tracker, I get this:

Your citizenship application status
Updated:April 23, 2021
Your citizenship application status: In progress
While we're working on your application


Details of your application status
Find out what your status means

  • Apr 20, 2021 Background verification activity status updated

    Background verification

    Background verification status has been updated to Completed


  • Feb 26, 2021 Application filed

    We have received your application and have begun to process your application. Information about next steps and required action items will be coming soon.
Mine's even worse.
App reached Dec 4,
AOR Feb
BG July --> See the inconsistency? difference of 3 months between yours and mine.

And that's it. Nothing after that. I'm hoping we will get the test invite by Dec 2021.

Yes, it’s very frustrating. I do recognize the fact about covid and the delays but why some are much faster than others that’s what I am trying to understand

I got a request on 29th August to submit All passport pages photo copies colored even the blank ones and the translations of the stamps that are not in English.
I sent the required documents and it was delivered to the Scarborough office on 3rd September 2021. But I got nothing since then! does it usually take that long?

My first application was filed on Oct 2019, they sent it back indicating a "missing checkbox"
I resent it on Jan 2020, and I never heard anything after, I guess they received it and lost my package.

Finally I resent on Dec 2020 , after seeing everyone's application was moving faster. Which was finally received with AOR in Feb. and BG done on July.
And that's it, nothing heard.

Technically I'm a Oct 2019 applicant, still waiting... forever.

no loss at all. Just delays delays and more delays... that's all but we will get it soon that is for sure... Gotta say though that when I came since first submission under WP like 3 times they were really fast and then to become PR was also really fast as a Family of 4, now that I submitted alone because boy are all on their own and wife wanted to wait until she is 55, there is lots of backlog.. such is life so wait is not one of my skills but what can I do...
