February 2021 - Citizenship applications

[scott.roy210988]

too bad, I know Commissionaires in Canada do international service https://www.commissionaires-ottawa....round-screening/international-fingerprinting/, might be worth checking with them. You probably need to wait for the email though. It should come in soon.

Ah ok, hopefully things improve soon!

Congrats! No one can predict when we will get the test invite

Some people get this request, so it is normal. The email should come in soon.

Thanks for the advice!
I reached out to commisionaries and they were extremely helpful! No need to head back to Canada!

Hi All,

I got a note from IRCC that I need to provide a Police clearance certificate since I spent more than 183 days in another country during the past 4 years from the date of application which was in February. If we take the current date and calculate 4 years back from now, I would not have spent 183 days in another country (since I have spent another 6 months within Canada from February to September). Do I still need a PCC? Also I see that while IRCC has requested for PCC, Background verification has been marked as Completed in the online tracker. The current application status shows as "we are waiting for information from you".

So background verification is marked as completed but they still requested a police certificate? This is strange. How are your other things moving? Can you post your application timelines?

Yes, I am not sure what that means as well. My timeline is below
Online Application submitted: Feb 15
AOR: Aug 10
Additional Information (PCC) Requested: Aug 31
Background verification marked as complete: Sep 2
Application marked as Waiting for your information and no further movement. So I assume they will resume processing only after submitting PCC

Test was on July 30th, no idea what is the processing city, never checked, and it is a paper application.

My timeline is same as yours. We both should receive test invite soon. I heard the citizenship test status will go in progress and 5 days later will change to scheduled for test and you will get email before your scheduled test day.

That's good to know. I heard there is a huge line-up for the ceremony.

What was your passport pages requested date and when did you send them back?

Hey guys, passed the test yesterday, noticed the online tracker this morning has not been updated yet, does it take few days for somebody tor review the test and mark it as complete in the system? I did receive the automated email with my test results after I completed the test.

I passed on September 4th, received the email immediately but only received verification and an update on the tracker September 13th. Give them time - someone has to review the photos taken throughout your test manually. The photo of my driver's licence was a little blurry and I was still marked as complete. I'm sure you'll have an update on the next week or so. Congrats on passing the test!

I honestly do not remember, I think it was within couple of days when the test invitation arrived.

Hey all,
so I sent my passport copies over a week ago and haven't recieved any confirmation email after (other than the citizenship). Should I resend it again or should I assume they've recieved it?

P.s I sent it to Niagara office as asked.

Thanks in advance.
