Hi Lorentz, I understand your frustration. Did you apply from Kitchener? In my opinion, that is the main reason why your and your son's application is being processed so slowly. Something is just terribly wrong with that office. I hope you'll get some updates soon.
Yes, I am in Kitchener, I would like to do it for my son my unique son, because he came in Canada at 6 and he is confused because all his friends are Canadian Citizens he doesn’t understand why he is not.

Yes, I understand that children can have identity issues: they are growing up in a country where they are told they are welcome, but then, in reality, they are not the "same" as other children who surround them. I am sorry your family is going through this. There isn't much you can do, though. Patience is the only way to solve this, I guess.

Thank you for your words, I really appreciate them.

Hello Everyone,
Yesterday when I checked my account it says last updated 23 Nov 2021. But the problem is nothing changed in my account since the last update, I don't know what they updated. I was wondering if anybody faced the same issue?

Today I received an IRCC Newcomer outcome survey. Does it mean anything? Waiting for the oath invitation since 1st October. TIA!

Hello,

I see the below statement in the application history

"You've been scheduled to take citizenship test online between October 25, 2021, and November 14, 2021. Information and instructions will be sent to you." I never received an email from CIC about the instructions.

Does anyone have/had the same issue?

I did't had the same issue. I got my instruction letter two days before the exam window starts. I think you had to contact ircc on 26 October or before that.

I called ircc in October and they said that I will be receiving the invite and informed the concerned office location on this but i did not see any invite in my inbox/junk

I am sorry you are going through this. My situation was similar. I received the invitation email a couple of days after the invite appeared in my Ecas account. I wouldn't like to scare you or anything, but bear in mind that there might have been additional requirements in that email. For example, my email also said that I need to provide scanned copies of my passports and certified translations of all the stamps. I am not saying that your email had the same requirement, it's just a reminder that it's really good to get in touch with IRCC and make sure there were no additional requirements for you specifically.

no i did not take the test.
You should have simply taken the test within that period instead of waiting for formal email.
Rarely members dont get it and they went ahead and attended and their test was evaluated without any problem. Seems its going to delay further to wait for second test.

As usual, its random and unpredictable wait time between each step/stage for all of us across various locations. it might take few weeks to few months.
We should keep this application tracking aside and keep on focusing on our work and life to avoid any disappointment and frustration.
