Grant DF Club

[Ryan4]

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

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they’re doing tbh.

Are you stuck on prohibitions too? See my signature for prohibition related threads. It is sad that we are stuck in this process... To answer your question, I don't think it is the same as Grant DF.

 

[hamo9ody]

Yes stuck on Prohibition

Good news! Today, my friend, whose first ceremony was cancelled in September 2023 and who has the 'Grant Ceremony DF' location, has been scheduled for a new ceremony on the first of February 2024.

That means DF is Decision Finalized, and application was already granted citizenship and just waiting for ceremony.

Yes all 'Grant Ceremony DF' were granted citizenship when their ceremony was cancelled, but it's not the same for "Grant DF"

So what does "DF" stands for?

I believe citizenship is “granted” after the oath. That’s the date you’re officially a citizen.

because a person can be rejected giving oath even on ceremony day if IRCC wants to do/ still waiting for one last check, or a person committed a crime and convicted/ on trail.

so I believe all “Grant Ceremony DF” “were granted citizenship”; However, IRCC decided to do a last check, hence “administrative error”.

Therefore, DF , whether it stands for DeFerred or something else, was added and once everything cleared out, their ceremony is rescheduled and they’re officially citizens after giving oath.

yeah I think the combination of "ceremony" and "DF" is a stronger indicator for delayed/deferred. Grant Ceremony by itself would have been enough, but they did put a DF and their ceremony was actually deferred/delayed.

Also, we know that they go over applications in batch. What I mean is, they process December 2023 applications at the moment for example, then they'll move to January Applicants, in the meantime, CSIS and CBSA and other agencies will complete their check, then IRCC will do another round for December applications and pass their background check etc. etc. then the same will happen to january applications. You get the point. In total, many people receive only a few updates. AOR -> background/test invite -> LPP -> Ceremony. From my CSIS notes, I can tell that once you get AOR, they submit your info to CSIS. Maybe to other agencies as well, but I don't have proper resource to prove it, so IDK. So, if we assume that they process applications in batches, then it makes sense that they would assign us to some delayed files group I think.

I see your point and it could be right. But tbh, I think this DF is simply a stage where more checks/investigations are required. Cuz I think all of us have note #1 redacted for that reason.

if your theory is right, then I think note #1 wouldn’t be redacted. Because they have to provide a reason for the redactions such as s.22, s.15 etc.

also, it doesn’t make sense that they would cancel the ceremony unless they’re is a reason. That’s why I think DF was added and they did their check/ investigation and once it cleared; they rescheduled.

Someone who is stuck with only Prohibitions not started just received their GCMS notes. However, they received it in french. They shared their location as in e-octroi IP, so I’m guessing this IP in french is DF.

if some speaks French share your guesses cuz I tried to ask chatgpt for 2 words in english with an abbreviation of DF translated to 2 word in french with an abbreviation of IP in french but I don’t think I’m wording my question right lol.

Yes, you officially become a citizen after taking the oath, but the term 'citizenship granted' is used by the IRCC when the decision has been made and only the oath remains.

Yes, I can help you with that. E-Grant DF stands for "Electronic Grant Document (DF Format)" in the context of IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) citizenship. It refers to the electronic version of the grant document that is issued to an individual after their application for Canadian citizenship is approved. Instead of receiving a physical copy, applicants receive the grant document electronically in a specific format called DF. This electronic document serves as proof of Canadian citizenship.
THIS IS AI GENERATED ANSWER TO WHAT E-GRANT DF MEANS AS IT RELATE TO IRCC CITIZENSHIP.
