Hello Folks


A bit of history here.

1st Round:

Type: Online
Family: Spouse and minor child
Date of Submission: Aug 14 2023
Returned on: Sep 19, 2023

Reason: Minor child ID documents were not in order. (ID1: PR card, ID2: Passport ) They had asked us to re-order and submit.


2nd Round:
Date of Submission: Sep 19 2023
Returned on: Oct 26, 2023

Reason: So damn confusing. Its below


>>>>>>>>>>>
Travel doc or passport
You uploaded a document(s) with another person’s private information.
To fix this issue


  • upload a document (such as a text file) to explain why you included this person’s information, or
  • if possible, re-upload a new file without another person’s private information

  1. >>>>>>>>>>>>
    This is from the Travel documents or passports section.

  1. I have uploaded only the front ( Name, photo...) and back pages ( Parents details, Address ... )
  2. I have triple checked and even the online portal says I uploaded the correct passport to my spouse and child. ( Filename, view the document in the portal )
  3. Myself and my minor have only one unexpired passport and we uploaded only that document respectively. DId not mix multiple docs in one pdf.

What is this all about? What am I missing?

I called IRCC and they are asking to raise webform and submit the same document with explanation letter. I am lost. Any thoughts please?

Hi everyone!
Office - Scarborough
Application Filed - May 2023
AOR - 13 June 2023
BG - Completed on 30 June 2023
Citizenship Test - Completed on 10 July 2023
LPP - In Progress
Oath - Not Started
Ghost Update - 20 October 2023

When I logged in for the first time in the morning it was showing "4 new updates" in the Activity section. But, when I logged for the second time then its NOT showing text "4 new updates". Last Updated date is still 20 October 2023. What can I expect next? Also, I do have a travel plan on 4 Dec 2023. Do you think I would be able to get my oath and Passport? Please advise.
Hi,
Did you get any further updates?
I got a GU too this morning, waiting for LPP (and BG as well)

Same here.
Scarborough office. Application status updated - today, four "new updates" which are actually old.
Background completed August 9
Test completed: August 21
Everything else: In progress/Not started.

Does it mean that Scarborough office personnel returned from vacation?
