Haven't tried GCMS yet. I did reach out to my MP, radio silence.
MP's office replied immediately and asked me to send consent forms which I did. Wait until after Thanksgiving...

Nice, I just emailed my MP again. I'm not holding out for much though.

All persons whose application hasn't moved for 6+ months can form a group and approach local/national press.

What say? Do we all agree?
 
Guys, don't freak out. I think I waited 7-8 months before I got movement in my account. I figured it was due to the COVID situation. I was less worried because I had a friend at work who waited 8 months.

Somewhat agreed - But the COVID situation should effect everyone equally. Whereas many who even applied after us have their Passports in hand whereas we don't have even a decision made status or in some cases no test invite.!!
 
Quebec Applicant here. Its been 2.5 months i wrote my exam and 1 month since all the ticker updated. Except for Oath. citizenship application status: In progress. Citizenship ceremony- Not started
But rest of the category has been updated to Complete been over a month now. I wasn't worried until someone I know, who wrote the exam after me got the invitation for Oath. As I read some of the comments some of you have been waiting longer than I am, which kind of worried me a bit more. I wanted to ask your valuable opinion if I should initiate a web form and ask for ETA or it better to not do anything? Also kindly advise where can I find the call centre number

Thank you and best wishes for everyone!

2022 paper applicants are consistently getting oath in 3-6 months. I think a variety of us but especially the severely delayed 2020 and 2019 applicants should all go to the press to better publicize the unfair LIFO processing method. I can understand COVID delays, but they should affect everyone equally indeed, like 18 or 20 month processing time for everyone, not 3 months for 2022 paper applicants and 3+ years for 2019 applicants.
 
I applied for GCMS notes on Oct-10-2022, yesterday got an email asking for more evidence related to my citizenship application.
Not sure if the evidence request was triggered from the GCMS request.
But if your file is stagnated for 6+ months I would advice you request GCMS notes.

Once you raise ATIP, an officer is allocated to work on compiling the request which might trigger someone to look at the application. I am pretty sure once application is transferred to a processing office it gets printed which the officer used to carry during pre-covid test/interviews. God knows what they do with those paper inventory now. It is very hard to decode their pattern for paper vs online or paper family vs paper single not just from this forum but also from FB, there seem to be no consistency over one location to another. I doubt all paper applicants are moving that quick except few outliers. Also noticed on the FB forum that some online applicants getting done in 6 months but there is always misinformation posted on forums. I think NS works within certain timelines be it paper or urgent processing , just those local offices are culprits and might again be the provincial/area citizenship target numbers for quarter/year who knows.
 
anyone else still waiting for updates? Still nothing on my end. Applied for GCMS notes around October and have not received them either. Just applied for the CSIS notes, awaiting response. Is there any email we can use to follow up about the GCMS notes?
