May 2020 - Citizenship Application

[Corgi]

Thanks, I was trying to figure out timelines for Vancouver office. Seems like they are typically fast with an average of 4-7 days

Yea, probably would have been a bit quicker if I lived in Vancouver But not a bad timeline for Whistler (especially since they tell you to expect 2-4 weeks!)

I have not had any updates on my file since April 23, 2021

With the pandemic delays, the Afghanistan crisis and now the Ukrainian situation, I wonder if I will ever hear back from them. I feel like giving up.

Same here! I feel your pain. Also in the GTA. No changes in my process since Feb 11 when Background Check was completed. Last update in the citizenship tracker was April 23. So frustrated with this whole thing.

Don't worry brother every thing will follow on soon.. Lets keep things positive

I feel the same way. No update since April 23, 2021.

I feel the same way. No update since April 23, 2021.

Almost a year?

 

[abcdmud]

Almost a year?

Yes, actually a little more than a year. I think the update online was a ghost update.

Today i received my ATIP request from Dec 9, 2021. And there is no change to my file

Dear xxx:
This is further to your request under the Privacy Act, which was received on December 9, 2021, for the following records:
My file has been sitting in "Test Pending Clearance" since Feb 17, 2021. And then "May 2020 Inventory Shelf" since Oct 28, 2021.

Who can i even ask for a proper update? i was hoping to have it by this year, but with Afghanistan and Ukraine, we are being pushed behind. But not really because 2021 people got theirs already somehow.
