Hi everyone. I’ve been watching this thread for sometime. I’ve been wondering what happened to my application too, and wondered if an officer left and their work is just sat somewhere collecting dust. Here’s my TL:

Single application: online
AOR: June 10, 2022, Sydney NS
Background verification completed: November 24, 2022
Prohibitions, physical presence and Language skills all showing: In progress (and had been since November 24)
Ghost update: March 2, 2023

I don’t know why nothing is moving forward. I don’t need to do the test because of my age, so I would have thought my application would have been fairly straight forward. I had more than enough days residence to qualify to apply for citizenship. Even when I moved and updated my information I didn’t even get an acknowledgment so don’t know if my file has been updated. I also applied for ATIP and not heard anything. If anyone has any incite to this I would be most grateful.

Anyone here waiting for the oath invite more than 6 months after completing the citizenship test?
in this website https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-ceremony.html it says that
In most cases, the ceremony takes place 4 to 6 months after you pass the citizenship test.

If you passed the test and don’t receive the ceremony invitation within 6 months

  • your application may be non-routine
  • we may need more information, documents, or time to review your application
I havent received any communication from them since the test , which was completed in Sep 2022 except everything updated to "complete" on Mar 7. No FP request, no more documents asked.
Do I need to contact someone at IRCC regarding this? Pls advice.
I gave test Nov 7th - still waiting for oath.

wife gave test Nov 17th - still waiting -

it’s a team you ain’t alone lol

My file is in Missisauga , my wife’s is in Niagara Falls - we both got a ghost update on March 2 like most of the people here - no one knows how the hell these people work - you guys are in NS - looks like ghost updates come from some centralized system in batches - I love doing the guess work lol
