July 2024 - Citizenship Application

[dazzlingdia2020]

Added your info to spreadsheet.

1. Yes, fingerprints are for clearing criminality which is part of background check. Since your BG completed already, you will not be asked for fingerprints, unless in rare circumstances when the application is pending for over a year.

2. Per IRCC, you are advised to inform them via a webform if you are going out of Canada for more than 2 weeks. In case they schedule an in-person interview (which they do for certain cases) you are supposed to be physically present in Canada. If you are outside, you can inform them about the same and request for rescheduling it after your return and mostly they agree.

3. Minors kids are exempt from BG, Test, Language etc so you wont see any progress in their tracker for any of these. It will only update when they schedule the oath for the family.

Are you sure about 2)? This is what IRCC says: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5
Doesn't look like you need to submit a webform if you are travelling. But travelling could be an issue if you are called for an interview while you are away. per this link, you only need to be physically present during, test, interview and oath.
If you can share the link where it says we need to submit webform if going for more than 2 weeks, would be great.

Thank you,

I have a question :

Can we expect the IRCC update tracker to update during the day, or does it only update once a day at 6 AM?

It will only update once a day around 5-5:30 AM EST from Tuesday to Saturday.

As long as she was not in the camera when the test started and during the test, you should be good.

Today I checked the tracker, and the date changed to October 3, 2024. It was September 27, 2024 before (when I got the test invitation). But nothing else changed. What does it mean?
