Canadian passport timeline: Office: Vancouver Applied: Aug 12 (express pickup with travel proof for 23rd) Approved: Aug 16th Went to the office and told them I’m travelling on Aug 20th: Aug 17th Pickup: Aug 19th 3PM For Aug 23rd travel proof I did a Greyhound bus ticket, and for Aug 20th I just...

Yes, and Greyhound and Amtrak have them. Flexibus can be refunded as credit for future travel but not cash.

I was there as well! I had a bus ticket on Aug 23rd and they told me I can only pick it up on Aug 22nd... I probably should have just bought a refundable ticket that departs on the same day...

Just did my oath :) similar to most people’s experiences: check in first, then cut the PR card, then oath, then done. entire process took slightly more than 1 hour. With the first half hour doing check-in and the oath started at around 11.30. i was gonna ask the clerk some more questions but...

This is a misunderstanding. When I was applying for PR I was essentially using ATIP as the "status tracker" (yes the IRCC ATIP department clearly hates me now) but my application was never put on pause. I believe Peter Julian (New Westminster - Burnaby, BC) had a staff saying things like that...

Ok my application full timeline: App sent: May 24th 2021 App recv'ed: May 29th 2021 AOR: Sep 7th 2021 Webform Submission 1 (IRCC put my old legal name on AOR + provide diploma): Sep 7th 2021 GU: Oct 7th 2021 (1st Security Screening sent) ECAS status changed to IP: Oct 27th 2021 ECAS show in...

Ok Vancouver IRCC literately called me today (yes I was shocked too) asking for my availability and I am doing my ceremony next Tue Aug 9th

I DM'ed one day before you and also Vancouver, but they still haven't scheduled me for oath... My application is also urgent so I'm not sure...

ECAS changed to decision made - updated after 5AM before 8AM PDT.

Ok everything completed except oath. it was worth staying up until 3.30 pacific I guess... well more my anxiety playing games with me... In case any one of you are wondering... the tracker updates around 3AM PDT it should... I checked at 2:30AM the update wasn't there and then 3:30 AM it was.

The call centre agent also confirmed with me that my urgent request has been approved. it is very weird: when I called earlier they said it was not in the urgent “pool” but later they clarified that there is an urgent request but my application is not in the “pool”. And today they told me the...

Ok Vancouver asked me for my passport copies. Their system sent me an email saying “An important attachment is enclosed” while there is simply no attachment lol. I had to call the call centre to realize they’re asking for my passport copies… Shame on them to have screwed up twice. Whoever...

I spoke with IRCC Call Centre again today. They told me that my application is in the "urgent pool" right now. My MP Jagmeet Singh's office has previously requested urgent processing on my behalf based on that I am interning for a US-based company that may require me to travel to the US. I did...

And I agree - normal applicant should not go or threat going JR just because the processing is taking too long - I am doing it solely because they did nothing when my SS has gone missing for 9 months. If it is just security screening by CSIS or something I’d be ok with it

I don’t think taking them to court would be very easy, but if the 2020 applicant take them to court they’ll likely win and get expedited processing as well. Basically going judicial review is a lose-lose situation - the applicant will cost thousands of dollars and the IRCC has to respond with...

Here is what I wrote: It has been brought to my attention today that the original request for security screening from your agency to the CSIS was never received by the CSIS due to a system issue, and your agency only investigated and re-submitted such request after I inquired about it in the...

Background passed today. It seems like sending IRCC a very harsh-toned letter threatening legal action does work.

Already signed up for Liberal volunteer newsletter. I also wrote an open letter that I'm sending to everyone I know in NDP

Ok so for my “security screening sincr October 2021 and CSIS says they never had it in ATIP” thing, I finally got an update today: IRCC had a system glitch that caused the security screening request never sent out and they had to resend it today. They’re literately risking people’s lives there...

So I applied in May last year, and the GCMS notes I got through ATIP says the security screening by CSIS has been ongoing since Oct 8th last year, but when I got ATIP response from CSIS it says the following: Security Assessments/Advice - CSIS PPU 005 - A search of this bank was conducted and...
