How long does it take for all of you to get the background verification done? Just curious. I have finished the citizenship test in 2021, but my background verification is still in progress.

Thanks. So the status will be complete only after they print the certificate and not when they receive the signed oath form right?
That is correct. It is marked complete only after it is printed and mailed and/or picked up if permitted for urgent cases. When it is in progress, it is still in queue to be printed and mailed.

No idea. Yours is definitely going in a different order than normal. Typically, background check is complete, and then it get transferred from Sydney, NS to your local IRCC office for processing, and then the new office requests citizenship test invite. Very infrequently, they do test invite before background check is complete. So I really have no idea in your case. Hopefully they complete it soon for your sake!

Mine went in this order. It was 4-5 months after test that I got background check complete and then the other items in short order thereafter (1-2 weeks apart). Now back to the long wait for oath date.

WHen you say you have the same timeline, does that mean that you have received DM yet? Or not yet? Just checking as I don't have DM yet on the excel spreadsheet :)

January 23rd. AOR in July then test date in September. Then nothing on any of the other items until background complete at the end of January 2022 followed by language skills & prohibitions a week later & physical presence a week after that.

Finally got some sort of movement today. We have been invited for an interview for March 09, 2022. @CdnWifeLivingInThailand Can you please add this note to the tracker. Thank you
Thanks for letting me know. Have you had citizenship test invite yet? If so, when did you see the invite online on your tracker, and when did you pass the test? Or, have you not had the test invite, only this interview scheduled.
