I would actually love to do an in-person oath ceremony! I feel like the online ceremonies cheapen the experience, but I understand that it makes them more accessible and easier to conduct in larger batches.

Great news! I passed the background verification! Language, Physical Presence, and Prohibitions still In Progress. Type: Online application Location: Woodstock, ON Physical Presence Days: 1222 Application: Single Application submitted: Jan 15, 2023 AOR: Jan 30, 2023 Tracker active: Feb 1...

Theoretically, yes, I would think so.

It appears to be the Niagara Falls office based on the test invitation email.

My image was slightly blurry but still legible, so I figured it was good enough. Seems to have been fine considering I completed the test on the tracker without issue. LOL I think people take things a little too seriously sometimes. The people (not robots) who review applications are human...

How long do fingerprints (digital) usually take to arrive/update for background checks?

It will most likely be a couple days. It took 5 days before my test was marked as "completed" in my tracker.

You will receive an email when it's something that requires your action/attention, such as the test invitation. I don't think we get emails for anything else. You'll only see ghost updates if you're checking your tracker regularly-- otherwise, you could easily miss them if you only check when...

When I submitted my application for citizenship online in January, I was offered the choice of an electronic certificate or a physical certificate. I elected to go with the electronic certificate.

Hi all, I applied in January 2023. It seems that my office is the Niagara office as well based on the email address that my test invitation came from. Type: Online application Location: Woodstock, ON Physical Presence Days: 1222 Application: Single Application submitted: Jan 15, 2023 AOR: Jan...

I actually do have ice wine waiting! :p Still waiting to see if they schedule me for an interview or pass my background check...

Update: My citizenship test was marked as completed on March 13 according to my application history, reflected in my profile this morning (March 15). :)

Seems to be at least a few days. 7-10 days is what I've seen noted in some other threads. You can have a look at the December applicants in the 2022 citizenship doc, several of whom also started their tests recently...

I will let you know how it goes once I've had my interview (if they get around to scheduling one for me, lol).

Yes, my BG check was still in progress when I was invited to take my test as well. I did, however, get a fingerprint request prior to that, which I believe is linked to the BG check.

So I took my test on Friday (Mar 10)! Tentatively, I scored 19 out of 20. :) Type: Online application Location: Woodstock, ON Physical Presence Days: 1222 Application: Single Application submitted: Jan 15, 2023 AOR: Jan 30, 2023 ECAS: Feb 1, 2023 (In Progress) Ghost Update: Mar 2, 2023...

Do the practice questions that were posted in the other links from the Richmond Public Library. Read the book that is provided (Discover Canada). It's not too long. All citizenship questions are based on this book. You can find the answers to all questions in this book, except the names of...

You should still be able to use the tracker to track your progress, if I'm not mistaken. https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register

January 30th. My background check is still in progress, but I had my fingerprints requested on March 3rd and provided them on March 4th. Like PR, there's not really a standard timeline, and I think they're still experimenting with the online system.

I logged in to my tracker account around noon and saw the test invitation update, but didn't receive the email until around 2pm.
