No, the CIC agent offered to email the Vancouver location for an update on my app. They do not provide the email address.
Hi guys, I have a question
I'm living in Halifax, NS, i've received a FingerPrint request on August 28, 2023 and test invitation from Sep 05 to Sep 25. When i came to RCMP Halifax, they told me that i should go to Commissionaire because it's way faster compare to 3-4month if i did it at RCMP. I booked an appointment with Commissionaire, and the earliest day was SEP 28, and the result would be sent within 5weeks from Sep28.
I did a test on Sep 24 and passed
Then i read a Finger Print request letter again, it stated that I should give FP to them within 30days. So i was late at least 30days + 5 weeks. Right now there's an exclamation mark next to my "next step", i guess they're waiting for the Fingerprint.
Background verification in progress
Physical presence in progress
Language skill in progress
Prohibitions in progress
Citizenship test Completed
I don't know if it's slowing down my application. I even called IRCC and let them know that I'd be late for FP submission, they put a note in my application. I also sent a webform to let them know. At this point, I couldn't ask for more, because i did what i could do.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Don’t submit any other application . We all are in same boat . This will make process more complicated if you submit another application. Just wait like us
. I know it’s so stressed and painful but we can’t do anything regarding this. Hopefully will get it soon. God is great Thanks for your kind words. It is strange that the representive I spoke to over the phone suggested I potentially create a new application... I will wait a bit more and see what happens.Don’t submit any other application .

I have seen some of the applicants got AORs within 1 month and few days and some of us are still waiting...
How can an online application be lost ? Did u login to your online account and check ? Also what details should we provide to enquire the status of the applied application ?
Yeah, as LuckyAngelSweety says, didn't you receive an submission email with title, "Submission confirmation – Online citizenship application / Confirmation de soumission – Demande de citoyenneté en ligne" ?
Sorry I meant tracker using this website - you enter your UCI + application number
https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/
In answer to both your and Lucky's questions, yes I received a submission confirmation email back August. I can log in to my account and see it is still at the first step and hasn't been reviewed (no AOR). Since it has been over two months I thought it would be time to call in.
The agent was unable to find my application after providing UCI and even the processing fee reciept number. He suggested two options, for him to send an email to request an update from the processing centre which would take 2-3 months OR to submit a new application. Hr mentioned the $630 fee hasn't been assigned to an application and is essentially credit.
I will be honest, not much of this made sense to me. I will call again tomorrow and hope a different agent can provide clarity.
Yeah I think calling again makes more sense. I don't know why but submitting two applications feels wrong, and waiting that long for an email reply sucks.
No , don’t submit another application . This will make things way complicated and confusing.
