January 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[JiLi]

Hello dear friends, I have a question. I together with my wife completed the citizenship test in the first week of June but have not received any info since then...Is this normal? We are very concerned as we moved from Canada to a different country in August...We wonder if it is our moving that has caused the delay...Any advice is appreciated!
We are a family of 4 and sent in our paper applications in Saskatoon this Jan.

hmmm - in document it says "Appear on the same device as your family members, if applicable and possible." not sure which seat # to use

Specify in the format "1,2,3" or "1-3". That's what I have seen people doing.

AOR received: March 3, 2022

I checked the status every day and it says "Last updated: March 3rd, 2022", everything showed in progress except for the test and the ceremony which show "not started". I checked today and it says "Last updated: September 7th, 2022", but everything is the same "in progress" and "not started'' for the test and ceremony. No update, no emails, nothing. What does that mean? Why did the date change if there's no update?

This is a ghost update, you will get an email soon either for test/BC or for fingerprint wait for it and keep track of emails.

Got an email for the test invite. Test window between Sep 09 to Sep 29. Updated the tracker. Keep an eye out. It's happening.

The weird thing is that my Background is still In Progress. Don't know what that means but just happy to get a test invite

it's called a ghost update, you will have something coming in the next 1-10 business days, could be BCG or test invite or both

Hello

For me and my 12 year old daughter, oath is scheduled for October 27 2022. But we live in US.
I am planning to go to Canada for taking oath instead of postponing.
Should my girl also be present in canada on that day?
Also Can I leave Canada next day before getting citizenship certificate?

Thanks in advance

If you have a way of getting your certificate to you in the US then you can leave, otherwise you won't have any way to get back to Canada without the certificate since your PR card will be destroyed during the ceremony.

Thanks for your reply. My correspondence address is US address in the system. Would they send it to US? Since I am not in Canada, I am not able to contact CIC through phone. Through webform, it take months to get reply.
