Did you do a FP? Mine is pending at the same criminal stage since June. Yes i did travel a lot but what a reason for delay
I received the test request and FP request same day, both were done, but unfortunately, only test is marked completed, since BG is pending even after receiving the FP, I called IRCC and they informed me that my security is cleared and criminal is still under progress since July 9

I guess they need the FP for security? I
know how they work.

Honestly no idea, a friend of mine submitted his couple of months before me and he already got his passport, less travel history than me but he was asked for a FP too, so at this point not sure how they treat the applications

Children under age 14 don’t have to attend, but are welcome to.
Yes you can put comma separated seat numbers.
Hello Forw.jane,
I need your advice again. According to the instruction, after the oath, i don’t need to sign or send oath form for my child. So does it mean we just need to sign/ send 2 oath forms for parents, and then we can download all 3 citizenship certificates? Thank you.

Hi all, been lurking in this forum for a bit. Here is my timeline.

Physical presence days: 1100

Application: Single

Applied Online from Toronto - April 23, 2023

AOR from Sydney - May 17, 2023

Fingerprint request from Vancouver - June 22, 2023

Scheduled for Citizenship test from Scarborough - June 23, 2023

Fingerprints submitted - July 5, 2023

Citizenship test done - July 7, 2023

Citizenship test status updated to completed - July 10, 2023

Fingerprints received - July 19, 2023

Background check status updated to completed - July 20, 2023

So this is a bit strange - there have been no further updates on my tracker about LPP or Ceremony but I received an invitation to take my virtual oath on September 22nd this morning. This whole application process seems so random, I guess the tracker isn’t entirely reliable.

Yeah. Tracker is pretty behind.

Congrats. Is the signed oath form the only thing to submit after the oath? Do you get notification for when the certificate is available to download?

I am not sure about this. You can check this with the Oath officer during oath ceremony when they ask you to cut your PR card.
That's the right time to clear all your doubts.
