I

I'm def on this second trigger boat, requested a couple of ATIP and also requested urgent processing with a job offer letter back in April after BG. received no communication since and prohibitions still pending. Officer looking at my app, deffo sent it to the gulag! sucked so much to eventually pass on the job but freeing in that I now just don't give a fuck, even if it took another year.
I also requested urgent processing with details on why I actually need it. The last time I called they said my urgent request is still not considered/pending lolll. now I'm actually going to miss a company-wide event due to IRCC lol, i love IRCC...

I just called and the nice agent said they'll email the office and say my application is past due 8 months. Fingers crossed. First time an agent actually offered to send an email. I'll see how it goes and update.

i applied in January 2023, refugee and traveled with RTD (but not to neighbouring home country) and still haven’t gotten anything done. Only test and background check which expired 2 months ago because fingerprints expired…. Absolutely no updates since.

I think you should write to them using webform and also order GCMS note to see where is your primary processing office and write to that office, you can also call them but writing to them is better. That is exactly what I did, I was disturbing them with multiple emails.
Also traveling to a neighboring country or traveling with a RTD as a refugee/protected person is not a problem.

DF means Derogatory File i.e. something about your application stands out and needs to be double-checked i.e. physical presence, missed something etc. You're likely at the oath stage but someone else needs to double-check your application again, make sure it's ok, remove the DF and then you'll be scheduled for oath.

Everything marked completed and waiting for Oath invitation since 29 May 2024, today I called IRCC told the agent if everything marked completed why there is a delay in sending me oath invitation, she replied nothing is required from my side, and there are some verifications is in process. My question what are those verifications after an application passed all requirement? Any idea?
