Hi folks, wondering if it is normal for Physical Presence to still be in progress after everything else have completed. My physical presence calculation is 1224 and we have never left the country since we came so should be easy with valid dates. Also, we were invited for interview which went smoothly plus the officer mentioned that our file looks great with no concerns. See my timeline below:

I think nowadays this is the pattern.. I got 1099 when applied and left Canada for 1 month in the entire eligibility period.. my application is pending forever.. we have the same AOR date.. youre app is going better than mine...

I have sent a request to know what current status is and hopefully get a response. My file is straightforward, never left Canada and enough buffer before applying for citizenship. Fingers crossed, I just hope it doesn't take forever.

unfortunately, there's no expected timeframe. It's different for everyone. There are people for whom it takes a week and then there are people for whom it takes months.

I just called and was told by the agent that Physical Presence is yet to be started, wonder why it is shown as "in-progress".

It's been pretty much impossible to call anyone at IRCC. You get to navigate the automated system for 10 mins and it hangs up on you to add to the stress.

So had my interview today. Pretty basic questions and document verification. What suprised me was there were loads of people in there for interviews. The lady told me that she will do a final review and if everything is well (she emphasized on if everything is well), I can expect to hear back in 2 to 4 weeks.

So far there have been no changes on my tracker, It still shows interview required. The waiting game continues!
