April 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[forw.jane]

Can someone please let me know if you take the test does it right away update on online status or it takes time. My wife took the test on 17 June but it still saying online application tracker that we are waiting from you to take the test. I understand that it needs to be review for the result. And yes she passed.
Thanks

It takes time. Anywhere between a few days to a month too in some exceptional case.

Thank you for replying. I was worried that something went wrong because it still saying on the online. tracker “we are waiting for you to take the test”.

Buddy she did it on the weekend, government workers/ immigration officers rarely work on weekend. It will get updated in time.

Although their instructions tell us to contact them but that seems to be if contact info has changed- "If you haven’t gotten it 6 calendar days before the event, check your junk mail folder and contact our Client Support Centre to make sure we have the right contact information for you."

I am thinking to wait for the email. Also assuming that if I try to take the test within the dates mentioned in the tracker then I would be allowed to proceed and email will be irrelevant. Hoping someone can confirm if the email is absolutely mandatory and contains any unique information required for the test OR it is fine to just proceed during the allowed test period and complete the test

You will get the email about 3 days before your test window. Just give it some time

 

[Minister D]

No, nothing. Are you going to contact them?
How can we contact IRCC regarding this issue?

Calling won’t make it move any faster. They will only tell you to wait on it.

Any other person with GU or Background check completed today?

BG completed, does it mean your explanation worked and you don’t need to provide police certificate?

correct

Hello everyone,

I was in Korea for 180 days, from which I flew to Europe, where I stayed for 3 months before flying to Canada. In the application, I had to list this 9-month long out-of-country period as one entry in Korea though I further explained my Europe trip in the comment section. They, then, requested for my police certificate from Korea thinking I stayed there for over 183 days. I provided details about my trip in Korea and Europe through a web form, and they completed the Background Verification without a police report from Korea.

2 questions please. 1. How long was it between when you sent your explanation and when they marked background as complete? 2. Has the "waiting on you" message on tracker disappeared or is it still there?

Hi, is it normal to have your background verification being marked as completed a little over one week after AOR (AOR June 5)? I saw a ghost update yesterday & today on my account as well as my spouse’s and now this morning the following status was on my spouse’s tracker:

Jun 14, 2023
Activity status updated: Background verification
Background verification
Background verification status has been updated to Completed.
Since my tracker is also showing ghost update, waiting to see if it’ll change to that as well. As for my minor son, no updates on his tracker.
For those who have had their background completed, would the physical presence and language skills change after or before test? Thanks

This is great progress ! Do you know which office is processing your application ? I'm in Ajax and wondering if I fall under the same office as you - maybe Scarborough Office?
