Anyone going for interview tomorrow in Scarborough location?

15 weeks post LPP without oath invite.
IRCC are truly outdoing themselves these days! With the 15 month processing time on the website, it might take me less time to make a brand new Canadian (if you know what I mean) than to get my own citizenship

Hope y'all get your oaths soon, this waiting thing sucks

Did you email or call IRCC? I think emailing works better but some offices don't answer emals (mississauga especially...). I'm in a similar situation, yeah waiting sucks...

I requested my second set of GCMS notes. I don't think anything has changed but we'll see.

I email them like once a month, I know they get my messages because they show up on my GCMS notes. I've ordered two sets of GCMS notes and other than a system glitch with my file, they haven't done anything with it so I'm not bothering with a third set.

Hmm I see. It's been 15 weeks for me too. I don't know your office, but from what I've seen in Mississauga office, people like you and me (past LPP or or some combination of LPP (my prohibitions are not done yet for some reason, so it LP for me)), get invited for an interview OR are under review and pass without an interview. In my last call with IRCC, I was told my application was under review. I can't find it now, but in the past, I posted someone's notes who has been Grant DF, and their redacted notes were about file review, and after their final review they were send to oath scheduling. So, my assumption is, for some reason, they do some kind of further investigation/review for some people, and it is what's taking this long.

I'm in Mississauga office too. I haven't gotten invited for an interview and my notes didn't say anything about that either, so I guess I'll wait and see.

What's your first note? Is it redacted/erased?

 

[citapplicant]

Here I found the note I mentioned. https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/416060979_940275794135610_3417038141837279622_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8cd0a2&_nc_ohc=OdTjKMSRqpwAX8CPOpb&_nc_ht=scontent-yyz1-1.xx&oh=03_AdRnDOypCybUt6cTxK1ickIAXMPTiIJsysaR62CQhRGWVg&oe=65D626CE I think we all are subject to this kind of investigation/review but it is redacted/erased from ATIP notes. This note was sent in a facebook group about prohibitions.

You mean in the Notes section? The most recent one says:

Note 1 (Jan 11, 2024):
Issue Report sent to GCMS team on Jan 8 to fix fee issue - The Adult Grant processing fee did not roll up to paid. The status of the fee line is showing Outstanding
Note 2 (Jan 10, 2024):
Client emailed for an update on 03JAN2024. Forwarded clients email to CPC Sydney.
Note 3 (Jan 2, 2024):
Emailed CPC-Sydney-Referral to provide an update on file. (from Mississauga IRCC)
Note 4 (Dec 8, 2023):
Emailed CPC-Sydney-Referral to provide an update on file. (from Mississauga IRCC)

It looks like whatever the issue is, is from the Sydney CPC and Mississauga is just forwarding my emails to them. I'm just showing 4 of the notes, the one saying Citizenship is GRANTED is #6 or so, from Nov 2
