Citizenship application updates - 2022

[AK41]

Hello All,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Jan 12, 2023 - Citizenship test in progress
Jan 20, 2023 - Citizenship test scheduled

Thanks.

Definitely call and let the agent know that it has exceeded the 17 month processing time.
Also order GCMS notes which can take 30 days. Most likely you are assigned to Sydney for LPP just like the rest of us here:

I’m sorry to hear that it’s been taking you so long! Definitely agree regarding the GCMS notes - you can easily fill it out on your own using the Canada Visa guide linked above or you can get someone to do it for you. I’ve used these guys before: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/agents/gcmsbuddy-dot-com/products/gcms. Also maybe you can check other citizenship cases on this tracker here and if there’s a few of you who have been waiting that long, you might have a case about IRCC neglecting people who applied back in 2022. I know they’ve been slower about processing last year’s cases compared to this year: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/canadian-citizenship-processing-tracker. I hope everything gets resolved this year though, good luck!
