    Ex-refugee, getting stopped for questioning at airport

    This happens because a check is put on your name when you become a refugee, to make sure that the officers at the airport verify that you haven’t returned to your home country prior to becoming a citizen. You have to call IRCC and demand that your name be taken off secondary check as you’re no...

    Technically it does. I say that because a Toronto application could take relatively longer than an application being processed in a smaller city office (like Niagara) without the comparable application traffic. However, there’s no real determinant or logic for how IRCC does anything unfortunately.

    The “invitation to appear for test” email will be sent to you a few days prior to your test window. Even if you don’t get it (as in some people’s case) you can simply go to the testing website, any time within your testing window, put in your application number & UCI number, and follow the...

    If I may ask, how many periods of absence did you have away from Canada?

    It’s the same as the in-person test, it only started being delivered online due to the pandemic. You’re meant to study from the guide “Discover Canada” guide https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/discover-canada.html I personally skimmed the...

    Hey guys! Did anyone find any correlation between the speed with which tracker was updated to “test completed” and the weekday that test was done? I think I saw someone mentioning that the “test completed” update comes slower when an applicant takes the test on a weekend rather than weekday...

    Wow. I really hope they don’t delay ours past the one year mark. I applied May 5, while late May applicants have received oath. Going by my city of residence, Toronto office should be dealing with my file.

    Are there any more early May paper applicants still waiting for a test invite? My BGC moved to completed four months ago(October 5) only a day after my application began to be processed, so I thought that meant my file would move relatively fast, lol I thought wrongly because I’ve been...

    Test Status Update

    That’s it, nothing else has to be done on your end. In a few days or weeks, the remaining components will also change to “completed”(all things bring equal) and you’ll be scheduled for Oath ceremony. Congrats, You’re almost there!

    I don’t see a lot of May ‘21 paper applicants getting test invitations, however, June & July applicants are. That’s weird.

    Your application is fine. Some people have been waiting for much longer. It hasn’t been 2 months since your application started processing. You’ll most likely get a completed BGC or test invite next, so don’t worry. There’s not much you can do but wait as IRCC works on their own time

    May 2021 - Citizenship Applications

    I guess it’s safe to assume that most paper applications are getting completed background checks first, then test invitations much later. On the other hand, online applicants are receiving their test invitations even before any other section is completed. With the recent backlog though, do you...

    Lol, I’ve been waiting a month and 3 weeks after BGC completed. The timeline is backwards now, not as many updates across the board ☹️
