February 2021 - Citizenship applications

[AhsanK]

Vancouver February applicant here. I have not even taken the test after 15 months My BG verification was completed 5 months ago. No update since then. With the new processing time (27 months), I’m pretty sure that in the best case scenario, I’ll not be a Canadian citizen before April 2023.

Hi RJ,

I sent an inquiry email to Surrey Office on March 30th and received their response on March 31st, the email said that I will receive my test invite soon and I will be scheduled for the citizenship test from April 7th till 28th. I have not received an email with instructions but my profile was updated on March 31st and I can see that I can take the test between those dates.
My background check was completed in Jan 2022 but compared to other applicants' timeline my applications wasn't processed at the same pace so i explained this frustration in the inquiry email.

I sent the same inquiry email to the Vancouver office but they have an automated email and your email might not be responded to - having said that do send an inquiry email to the Surrey office, they will respond for sure and you might receive the test invite.

Let me know if you need the email address of the Surrey office.

email usually comes 2 days prior to the test window. So I would suggest you to wait. And do check your spam folder. It goes there sometime.

Anyone else with this timeline has heard back from IRCC?
My and my husband applied on Feb 2021 (via mail)
We were invited to take the test on Nov 2021
All steps are marked as 'completed' on our online tracker since Feb 2022 but no update on when we're taking the oath ceremony. I filled out a web form for IRCC last week but haven't heard back.

Anyone else?

Yes i would like to know too.. I moved from Alberta to Yukon Territory. I paid Canada post $280 to forward my mails from Alberta to YT for a year.
But still I changed my address to CIC because I don't want to miss any update if anything happens..
