Purely by being on this forum for a long period , below is what I think ( and not legal advice ): 1. Some folks do not get AOR. Some folks miss/delete the email which is the AOR. As long as you moved to next stage ( test, background ) you would be good. You may need the application file number...

Yes. It is normal. Check my timeline in my signature.

I did a soft landing and left for 2.5 years for work reason. Had 5 trips outside of Canada during my eligibility period. Jul 1 applicant. Waiting for LPP.

May I ask why could we not apply under privacy act for free? It does provide an option for officer notes.

Not universally true. But most folks whose background is pending after test completion will get a fingerprint request. Your background will complete very soon after fingeprints, if there is no additional security screening.

Just asking. Wouldn't the number of updates be proportional to the number of items that change on your status. For ex: fingerprints received and background completed = 2 new updates. Test complete = 1 update etc. Just my guess.

While you may be right, ghost updates never have an actual update. The actual status update happens a few days later. May I ask what was the number of updates in your ghost update on 27th? Was it like "1 new update" or "4 new updates" etc. ?

I wish it was a batch update and am hoping that it does turn out that way. But the characteristics do not match a regular GU. In other threads, some folks whose citizenship ceremony is over got a GU. Also the timing was non-standard. The update did not happen at 5 ET as usual but around 3 hours...

Thank you. If your application is one of the slower offices, the LPP usually completes around 4 month mark after the test completion date. So you are getting closer to the mark where you should get an update. I hope it happens sooner rather than later for you. Best of Luck!!!

If you don't mind me asking, when was your test completed?

That is a bummer. Thanks for pointing out though. I was already suspicious given the fact that the update happened at a time which is not usual. I guess I will have to stay positive a little while longer. Can all who got an update, post their processing office? Trying to figure out if it was a...

Some good news. Both the applications had a Ghost update today. Don't know what changed but good to know the applications were looked at. Processing center: Scarborough. Last change in one application (test completed) was Aug 24th and in the other(background check complete after fingerprints)...

Sydney is a CIO ( Central Intake Office ). So it shouldn't be the primary processing office for most folks. Some folks get assigned to RC8090( or something similar ) during background stage during Background processing/LPP state. This is Sydney and if assigned to this, your application is going...

Took me about 3 weeks for fingerprints to be updated in tracker. I also sent an email on day 20 to the same office that I received the fingerprint request from asking for the status. If you got a DCN number from Canadian fingerprinting services, you can send RCMP an email to inquire about the...

For Scarborough, replace 5 weeks by 5 months. If you don't hear anything by 6 months, you could be concerned. This is based on me following the Scarborough thread ( application processing starts 4 months after test cleared ).

I believe you are Scarborough where the application gets picked up around the 4 month mark after the test for LPP/Oath and there is no update before that. Atleast this is what I have calculated from all the updates in Scarborough thread. This sort of meets CIC guideline that most people get...

This is right. Security check clearance may take between 4 to 6 months.

Ultimately it is your choice since the consequences will be all yours either way. Below are only suggestions and definitely not legal advice :) : Q1) Can I leave Canada immediately after applying for citizenship? Not recommended. If you take the test outside of Canada, your application has a...

Based on what I have read on this forum ( been following it for a very long time ), below is my "guess": During final check i.e. your application's final review before oath, your application was picked ( for some unknown reason ) for an additional review(TFR-verification could be for the...

Just to clarify. I meant that you will see fingerprint processing complete about 3 weeks after you submit them.
