I got DM (everything completed except oath ceremony in the new tracker) today, Jan 31. Or my wife and I did. There haven't been any updates on my kids' trackers since AOR. Given that we're a family app, I assume that we're all DM'd together.

Yes that is normal, some children's applications won't get any updates until the end of the process!!

Background check marked completed today.

I have captured this into the notes section.

I have been waiting for GCMS notes since Nov 2021 and haven't received them, probably a backlog as well in GCMS notes.

When did you take the citizenship test?

Am located in Montreal and my application is not moving , i dont know what to say but probably what you are saying is right. i dont know what other option we have other than waiting....
From what i saw from some posts, Montreal office is processing applications outside of Quebec, am not sure if my application is even processed in Montreal, there are applications processed in a matter of 6 to 8 months while the one from 2019 and 2020 are still waiting to be processed.

Well, 2021 applications for citizenship are being processed faster in both Toronto and Montreal, perhaps more faster in Toronto area. Try looking up the tracker, you will find those that have applied in June 2021 already got their citizenship.

Since then sweet nothing

I'm reading the comments and noticed some people are required to send fingerpints ? also passport scans ? why would that be necessary ?
is that standard ?

Hello ,
Is there anyone with paper application submitted from Ottawa and still waiting to receive the exam date ? my background check completed Jun 22, since then nothing, showing Language Competencies , Effect Presence, Interdiction as In progress, no date for the exam or OAT ceremony,
Is this long delay only for Ottawa ? what can cause this ? my application I'm assuming is not deemed complexe.

Thank you !

 

[npcanada]

what do you mean by no luck, you didn't receive the notes yet or there were nothing useful in it

Yet to receive any notes.

My understanding is that FP can be requested if they are having difficulty identifying you (perhaps because of a name change or because you share a name/dob with other people). I assume that Passport scans are requested to verify residence for people who travel frequently.
