Thanks for the link.
I have a question about this application. When submitting the request for one member of a family application, do we need to submit the consent form as well?
Hey guys, is it normal to receive the Oath Ceremony invite first before the LPP get updated to be completed? My tracker says LPP is in progress and Citizenship Ceremony is not started but I already received my Oath invite. Thank you!!!!!
Received fingerprint request e-mail today November 13th from Vancouver office (we live in Toronto). In the attachment it mentions:
"After reviewing the biographical information on your application form, there are questions in your case
with regard to sections 21 and/or 22 of the Citizenship Act, explained further on the second page of
this letter."
Is this normal?
"After reviewing the biographical information on your application form, there are questions in your case

Is this normal?
Can I know when did you complete your test and how long did it take to receive oath ceremony invite?
Sure, but I think it’s a standard template everyone receives. As I searched the forum, I noticed others received the same thing. Here’s the rest of the explanation:
”The Citizenship Regulations require that we verify that applicants are free of any prohibitions from a security and criminal standpoint.
Section 21 of the Citizenship Act stipulates that no period may be counted as a period of physical presence during which a person has been under a probation order, has been a paroled inmate, or has served a term of imprisonment.
Section 22 of the Citizenship Act provides that a person cannot become a Canadian citizen in certain circumstances. These circumstances are based on when your citizenship application was signed.
Please visit our website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/situations.asp to review details
about the circumstances which could prevent you from becoming a Canadian citizen.
Therefore, all applications for citizenship are sent for a search of criminal records, using the
biographical information on the application form, to determine whether there may be cases which require further review with regard to the provisions of section 21 or 22 of the Citizenship Act.
Where there is an indication that a criminal record may be involved, it is essential to ensure that
there is no error in the identity of the applicant concerned, therefore we request fingerprints to
verify the applicant’s identity.”

Yes, it's very normal. The mention of sections 21 and/or 22 may seem intimidating, but it's included in every fingerprint request letter. If you're a law-abiding citizen, there’s no need to be concerned about it.
