The stupidity is to share the notes in this form and without explanation on how to read notes and what the coded language mean. Ohh Canada....
In fact, IRCC is not necessarily keen on you having or comprehending the notes; however, they are compelled by the Privacy Act to fulfill your request and provide you the information. Yet, the law may not mandate them to offer a detailed explanation.

Ideally Law should mandate the explanation. Otherwise its not serving its intended purpose.

I don't think "DF" means Delayed Files because my application was accepted as urgent from the beginning, and it is in the DF location right now.
I mean I don't want to be rude but you submitted your application on January 2023 and it is still being processed. So even if they agreed that your application requires urgent processing, considering most of January 2023 applicants are citizens now, I think your application is delayed.

My new application was received in September, not January, as the old one was cancelled. Additionally, how do you explain the cases of those with "Ceremony DF" who have been granted citizenship, as their notes suggest? It's important to note that processing time is typically only calculated up to the decision stage(citizenship granted), not the ceremony as per atip doc

I called IRCC today and I spoke with the rudest most uptight agent ever. Anyhow, I asked her what E-grant DF means and she was very annoyed with me asking the question as if I was asking her for her phone number, then she’s like I’ll put you on hold; 20 min later, not exaggerating, she comes back and says I consulted my program specialist and I was informed that this is an internal info and I can’t disclose that with you!! At that point I was already cheesed about the attitude and wait time so I just said thanks and hung up.

What really puzzles me is that this whole DF bs started showing up recently, as recent as November 2023; and none of us who had DF got their citizenship yet. So theoretically, we don’t even have a timeline.

Hmm I see. yeah you could be right. it's just a theory. I didn't see a lot of ceremony DF's and don't know about how long they waited, but I get your point.

My gut feeling says that they recently implemented a new location “E-grant df” for Protected Persons and PR from family sponsorship pathway.

Second gut feeling feeling lol is “E-grant df” is the final step before “E-grant ceremony”, so it could be a new location added to the system to reduce waiting time/backlogs, and they want to collect all applications that are ready for ceremony just one step away under the location E-grand DF.

I emailed the officer who mistakenly cancelled my first application, and he is very nice, always responding to my emails. I asked him about the 'Grant DF.' He replied to me with information that my file is in progress, there are no issues, and there is an officer working on it in Montreal. However, he ignored my question about the DF :)

Yeah I had a feeling, called IRCC the other day, and before I asked any questions they were like you know your file is within processing times :rolleyes:

Nothing, I waited nine months only to receive a cancellation letter due to an alleged lack of physical presence days, but it was their mistake. I responded, and they apologized, then they created a new application for me and marked it as urgent, according to what they said.
For your first application did they request finger print from you that time?

I think DF files are delayed or postpone files that ircc decided to put on hold and instead uses the resources on new applications to finalized the newer applicants to decrease the overall process timed. I think DF means doomed F..d applications. I am a DF :confused:
