Hi, when did you order your CSIS notes? There are people who ordered them in November and still haven’t received them… I ordered mine in February - nothing so far.
processing time can be random, - I`ve ordered notes when my PR (process took 15 month) and 1 time they`ve delivered it in 3 weeks and other time it took almost a year - i received notes 7 or 8 months after PR was approved.

Perhaps what the agent meant by prohibitions are processed from the beginning is that early on in the application, the officer most likely sends your application to the CBSA, CSIS, RCMP etc. to run checks on you so it is technically in progress. The “real” progress/completion would be when the results come in and are reviewed by the officer.

Just my personal speculation, of course.
Yeah that's correct. it means the results are back and probably cleared but the officer needs to officially review and note that lmao...Basically gathering dust

Yeah it’s very disappointing.
It's okay. Don't give into the anxiety and stress. Go about your daily life, just like you were before you applied. I know for some it's easier said then done, but best to just carry on and let IRCC do what they need to do. It hit me that i was feeding off the mood from thechat and my reality is that not having the citizenship isn't keeping me from anything so my stressing is a waste of energy. I'll let IRCC do their thing.

Exactly, if we weren't on the message board we would just think things were going to plan, considering it showed an expected 7 month wait when I applied anyway.

So my AOR was from Sydney, test from Edmonton and finger print from Vancouver, was wondering where my application is processing office.
Is there anyway to know or should I call?
I know it doesn’t matter just was curious.

It might be spam, don’t download anything. Maybe it’s better to call IRCC to confirm.

This is a genuine document from IRCC, instructions came in a secure email with attachement with my application No and UCI
Is the certificate attached to the email or just a link to download it? I would check the link only to see if it is actually there to download. Like in the PR process, we got the download email but there was no COPR to download.

Yes they sent the download instructions to me too before the oath.

So just hold on, even if you register and try to download you will get error message.

This should be valid email. It is common you get the instructions before the oath.

You should see oath email soon now

I received certificate download email today. No update in tracker about oath. Should I just wait for another email or do I need to create portal account for oath letter?

Just wait for oath letter, it’s just instructions and won’t be able to download anything till your oath is done. Infact it take 24-48 hrs to be able to download certificate.

Saying based on application processed for my wife and my son.
