June 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[Sayantan86]

I found for many people once the BG is complete, then received the test invite.

In some of the cases including me BG is still in progress but received the test invite and completed.

Any idea on this?

Happened with me. BG was marked as completed after 7 days of Test Invite.

Its a good thing officer just wants ID, then you should be good. Provide a clear scanned copy. Without any ID picture taken during test, they could well have rejected test result. For those who are taking test soon- Its better to check Cam and resolution online before the test. If you search cam check, there are many sites. They let you take pictures too. That way you can judge the resoultion beforehand and have an idea how a picture of ID would look like

Thank you, I sent email with the ID

My test was completed July 15th (20/20 score) and I still haven’t heard anything for oath yet.
my background was completed on June 25th.
lpp is In progress, should I be concerned?

Same with me..test completed July 19..no update since that..I wonder why are they sending oath invites to people who completed their test in August and not to people who completed the test in July. I was seeing the June excel tracker...seems that it's happening with all July people...is there any error in their system or what.

That is a big relief!!
Since your criminality is in-progress, you will most likely get a fingerprints request soon. Once you get the request, please complete it as soon as possible as it takes 4 weeks on an average for the full Fingerprint process. Once they get your FR report from RCMP, the next day your BG will be marked as completed.

The good thing is your security is completed. Because if that was still pending, it takes anywhere between 3 months to 14 months to get that completed!

So if this all is still going to take another 5-6 weeks before Oath, then I wouldn’t have enough time to surrender my current citizenship before I travel.
Do you think I can start my surrendering process and just take e-visa and travel while that is still happening?

It depends on the office, officer and complexity. Also, they likely go by date of application. Files may have same application date , but one may receive test much earlier. Does not always mean that they will prioritize the earliest test date one. They try to distribute load and very likely want similar processing time for all candidates. Some offices send test request uniformly after certain time interval, while others might not

Language and prohibitions done. Updated the sheet. As i was expecting , physical presence is still in progress. I had travelled to US often, every month or so. Most people see all three completed. But there are a few who have prohibitions, physical presence pending. I checked and have 22 travel records. Dont think it is a lot, although more than others. Hopefully it doesnt take too long.

Let’s see if your full passport scan or a copy of i94 is sought. That way you can tell if the delay is due to the the validation of you extensive international travel records.

When did you apply? When u took test and when was it marked complete?

My AOR is June 24th and I took test on Aug 30th, marked complete on Sep 5th. I got two ghost updates on Aug 14th and 16th I believe.

Yes, you can do that. Many do that actually!

Ceremony complete! I sent my Oath form in immediately after the ceremony completed and I had my eCertificate available within the hour.
