June 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[hssrp]

Applied for the exam in June, background check completed 2 days ago, and got the invitation for the exam today. When I applied, I only submitted the info page of my passport, not every page with a stamp. Since my background check is done, does this mean the info page was enough? Or could I be asked about it later? Thanks in advance for any insights!

When applying for the citizenship online, only the info page of the passport is required/mandatory, not every page of the passport or page with stamps. Few applicants who have a good amount of travel history, attach the pages with stamps or the full passport scan as an additional document so as to avoid any delays in case the officer wants them later.

Coming to your specific questions, the passport scans are not related to or requested for the background check but relates to your physical presence requirements. So unless your Physical Presence marks completed, you may still be asked for the full passport scan and/or an in-person/virtual interview request in case the officer has any questions about your absences from Canada or your travel history.

Both applications will be processed separately until the stage it is ready for scheduling oath. At that stage, it will be pending for the other partner to complete his steps and the oath will be scheduled together.

Would you mind to confirm if the response is based on your understanding or real case?

My test window is from Aug 22 to Sept 21 and I received this update on Aug 16th. I still have not received my invite in the email. Does it always take time? I am hoping I get the email at least tomorrow. Also, will the application be on hold until the Test is completed or will the officers still process and update LPP in the meantime?

Nvm, I received the test invite email a while ago and I think it came from the Surrey Office.

From what I understand, GU (Ghost Update) means that the officer is actively working on your application and there might be a real update soon. But not all Ghost Updates get converted to a real update but the fact that GUs appear means that the file is being worked on.
