January 2022 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter DamhaSirah
- Start date
Hi folks, I haven't heard anything back from IRCC since my test was marked completed in October. BG completed before that in September (full timeline in the signature). With a slew of oath invites for Jan 22 applicants and even Feb 22 and March 22 applicants getting oath invites, I can't help but get a bit worried. Is anyone else in the same boat? I've applied for GCMS notes but read a few posts here on the forum realized that GCMS note application is hopeless as it takes months for them to respond. Is there anything else I can do/ should do? Appreciate any advice!
In the same boat, did everything including ordering the GCMS notes. I even spoke to my local MP to speak to IRCC. Which he did, but was told that the application is under normal processing times i.e. <24months and hence I need to be patient.

Tracker updated today (Feb 14th):
Citizenship Ceremony was updated to In Progress (says it was updated on Feb 10th) AND citizenship oath is scheduled for March 2nd.
It just says (Waiting on you ... and to follow the instructions "we sent you"). I haven't received actual email instructions and I don't know
if it is in person or online.
I'll be checking my email frequently now.

Exactly on the same boat. Test completed oct 14, no update since then except ghost update on Dec 16, already requested gc notes - nothing can really help, just says not started. Also spoke with an ircc agent, she said everything is normal and to just wait. I am trying to ask my local MP to see if they can help but other than that, not sure what else we can do than to wait.
Completed test on Sept 30, ghost update on Dec 16 and Feb 10.. nothing else
Did you receive the ATIP notes in mail or your email? I requested the notes in October.. but have not received them till date. Any way to follow up about that request with IRCC?
maybe something’s happening if you have a ghost update recently. fingers crossed. what’s your processing office?
received via email bec that’s what i chose when i submitted the request. i followed up by sending an email to ATIP-AIPRP@cic.gc.ca with my reference #. received the notes about 2 days after.
