Well, first of all, congrats on becoming a Canadian citizen. I noticed that your testing office is the same as mine, as far as the email address is concerned. This is not strictly the Vancouver office. The "BCIS" part should refer to "BC itinerant services". I am located in Interior/Northern...

Your minor child did not automatically become a citizen on the day you acquired Canadian citizenship. This is because, in order to pass on your citizenship, you need to have been a Canadian citizen at the time of your child's birth. Therefore, you need to apply for citizenship for him/her.

Got it!

So, their email address can no longer reveal which is your specific processing office? This looks like a generic online test address.

Finally, almost 5 months after my last status change, I just saw a status update in my citizenship tracker. Citizenship test in progress on April 11, 2022. Test period is April 15 to May 6. I have not received the test invitation email yet. I am in BC, and the last time I checked with an IRCC...

That's very strange, that they would assign your file to 'BC itinerant services' considering that you are in Alberta.

Covid, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc. Now it is this new processing standard.

Yes, you are right. I applied from Singapore. And I remember you too!! Times flies!

I hope they are not making this adjustment on the assumption that there won't be a general election until 2025 because of the Liberal-NDP deal.

Fucking hell!!! Does this affect all existing applications, or only applications submitted now?

No, I have not received my test invite yet. No updates since November 2021. Where are you located?

This is impressive! Did you request urgent processing by any chance?

I am a July 2021 paper applicant. Where is my test invite (never mind oath invite)?

This is interesting. Your physical location is in Manitoba (based on info in your signature). Why would the Vancouver office be processing your application?

It IS distressing have to wait so long without any updates. Long gone are the days when the processing of citizenship applications was concluded in 8 to 9 months on average.

Well, it's not as if I have a choice in this matter. IRCC's own instructions regarding Police Certificate from Singapore is that they will send a request letter after the applicant has submitted his/her application...

Don't do it. I know this has been frustrating, but it would be too risky to withdraw the application and re-apply based on the few anecdotes that the newer submissions get processed faster.

Then why was the OP contacted IMMEDIATELY after AOR about his/her police certificate, same with this guy: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/received-request-for-police-certificate-post-citizenship-application-technically-not-needed.758083/ Whereas, I have...

I was going to create another thread for my own question, but I might as well ask it just here. My situation is somewhat similar to the OP's, having lived in another country for more than 183 days AFTER becoming a PR of Canada within the 4-year eligibility period. I knew from the get-go that I...

From his previous posts, it seems that he first submitted documents about parents being ill (requiring hims to travel urgently). After a few months of no response/movement, he submitted another request with a completed application form for a CSIS job that requires Canadian citizenship. He is not...
