Thanks for the update. Could you please share when you got invited to do your citizenship test? As well as the day that you passed your test? Helpful for getting average timelines. Where did you apply from? And did you apply just you or as a family?

Thank you so much. Re: citizenship, I believe processing time is 12 months to get a citizenship from the time you get AOR. Is it normal to have no activity/update for 11 months? My background check was cleared in March 2021 and no update after that. Understand due to Covid things are slow but this seems to be moving at a snail pace. Is there a helpline I can call to check on status or is the best option is to keep waiting…

I am in the same boat as you are. Applied paper based and no updates since Background check cleared. My AOR was in March and Background cleared in May. My PR card expires in March this year as well. Hopefully they wake up this year and process our applications on priority basis.

Same situation regarding my ATIP request for my wife. No reply and on my request about deadline expired - same explanation about exceptional delays on their side. Nothing concrete.

Hopefully you get yours soon! We finally got our GCMS notes today! Applied on November 2nd, and received on January 10th. I had sent a follow up email on November 2nd, and then again on January 4th. Now to see if there is actually anything useful in the notes ;-) The wierd thing is that the report was generated on December 1st, 30 days after our ATIP application. But it is the sending out of the notes that took a really long time!

Didn't find out too much, other than our file was transferred from Sydney on July 20th, and received IRCC Ottawa on August 25th. Also, the "due dates" for prohibitions, language, knowledge and residence is March 13, 2022, essentially one year after our AOR. So, hopefully they won't just extend the due date in March, but it will encourage them to actually get moving on the application and do citizenship invite when it gets close to the deadline. I wonder if everyone's due date is automatically a year, or if some of the files that are processed quicker have shorter due dates when receiving AOR? I also noticed that the BCG has a validity until May 20, 2022, one year after BGC was completed, so hopefully we get DM before it needs to be completed again, further delaying things.

I got ATIP notes for my file as well and as you mentioned, for the above categories due date for us is 2022/02/28. I hope we get some updates by then. Also was wondering if we can contact our local ircc office regarding the status etc.

I ordered notes and my application's due date is exactly 1 year apart from the AOR. The due date for my application is April 1st, 2022. So...fingers crossed.
