June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[sunil_k_gupta]

Really worrisome since most people get oath very soon after everything else is completed, although it's a little comforting to see I'm not the only one. What is your processing office?

Yes. People are getting oath invites soon after their tacker is marked as completed. But no luck for us.
My location is winnipeg and for citizenship test, email was from MBSK office.

I was asked for the fingerprints the day after I passed the test. Some folks here say it was the reverse order for them (fingerprints first).
All in all, I began at 24th position in our tracker here, I'm now 104th and keep falling down...The worst part is the helplessness - no reason for delay, no cause, no solution, no means to question, appeal, follow up, anything.
So yeah, good luck to us.

I hear you! The uncertainty, lack of transparency and helplessness are the most frustrating part of this process.

In our case, neither my spouse nor I was asked for fingerprints before or after the completion of the test. And this had given us false hope that our application may progress faster. But no such luck! Like someone said in this thread, IRCC works in mysterious ways!

Hang in there! It'll be our turn sooner or later!

Does the tracker say closed or complete? I had my oath yesterday at Scarborough office too and my tracker still says in progress even though I sent my oath form in

Which office

Did you receive acknowledgement after emailing the signed oath form and if yes then after how much time did you receive it?

I only received an automated reply almost immediately after sending the email. Nothing other than that.

I think many of june applicants have taken oath. Lets see when it comes to us. I gave test in jan and still no progress

You will not receive anything rather than that automated reply. Now just wait for the status update on the tracker that oath is done and it also means that your certificate will be mailed out soon

Have you ordered GCMS notes?

Oh I didn't know that, thanks! My status was updated as complete just yesterday, so I guess it will be mailed out soon, if it has not been mailed out already.

Have you ordered GCMS notes?

Now thinking of doing it. Does it make any difference?

 

[Aspiring Canadian]

Does the tracker update on the weekends?

Now thinking of doing it. Does it make any difference?

Yes. Many people see some movement shortly after ordering GCMS notes. I was stuck for almost 3 months after test with no updates, then 2 weeks after ordering GCMS notes, everything except oath moved to Completed.
Even if you don't get any updates, your notes should reveal any common issues such as background check getting stuck

Does the tracker update on the weekends?

I don't think so. When I've had updates dated on a Friday, the tracker did not update until the following Monday.
