August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Andremory87]

That's weird, I've been in Canada for 18 years now, all throughout my PR. I do travel quite a bit to latin america for work. Does this delay security/background check?

never involved in any crime or ever had any issue with the police.

• Application: August 8, 2023
• Type of application: online
• Location: Montreal
• AOR: Sept 13
• ECAS: Sept 14
• Test invite: ?

Anyone knows what is happening? Most people got test invite already within my timeframe. I am scared to be left in the cracks.

Same case with me as well.
AOR : Sept 15, 2023 and no updates at all since then. I agree, even I am wondering where is my application stuck because almost everyone I have seen so far with similar timeline has got some kind of update.

Nopes. Language and presence are not applicable to minor applying along with a parent so this will remain in progress.

To get a test invite, you have to pass at least one of the background checks (security or criminality).

I did get my invite test without completion of background check. They asked for my finger prints.
From west coast area.
Completed my test last Oct 3.

Yes, you received the test invitation after passing the security check. It does not show in the tracker, but you can call the centre to confirm. To have your background checked green, you need to pass both the security and criminality checks. Fingerprints are part of the criminality check.

In my case, I was requested to submit fingerprints, and the same happened when I applied to get permanent residence.
The way they check the background is through your name/last name. If someone with your exact same name committed a crime, they need your fingerprints to discard it's not you. It seems that someone with my name did commit a crime, LOL.

You should use 5(2)

I applied for my kid under section 5(2) only minor online on August 30th and still haven't received AOR. Is this normal for a minor application, because when I called IRCC the agent said they still do not see the application and is still within AOR timeline.

Hi all, I took the test on Oct 13, test is completed on tracker on Oct 18, LPP shows completed on Oct 20. But the ceremony is still not started and nothing about the decision made. The test was from the Montreal office, is there anyone else with similar experience? What else do they need to check before the oath letter? Is is normal for test and LPP to show completed but no update on the decision and oath?

This is normal. Now you wait till you get your oath letter. See link below. Many people are in the same position as you.
