June 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[maverick1982]

Applied June 29 and no update since the AOR. Looks like no one in that week has any update after AOR.

Applicants in the first week of July has had test completed too.

Have seen the pattern too. It seems like they assign applications for 3 days for one office then move the applications for next 3 days to another office for load balancing.

Thanks for your help!!!
I haven’t got the letter yet. Should I go online and pay it first?

There is no online payment for Citizenship fingerprints and just to be sure you are aware, the Fingerprints for citizenship are not to be given at Service Canada. These are not the same as the biometrics you do for PR application.

The fingerprints for Citizenship can be done either at
1. RCMP or your local police if they do it in your city. (Most of these need an appointment and they are not immediately available)
2. RCMP accredited fingerprints center. You can find the nearest one using this link - https://rcmp.ca/en/criminal-records/criminal-record-checks/private-fingerprinting-companies-accredited-rcmp

Most of these private centers accept walk-in or appointments are mostly available for same day/next day. You can call ahead and go accordingly. You will pay at the center directly and mostly range between 60 - 90 CAD. Best of luck!

I have noticed a trend that people who will be receiving a finger print request often get test invite before "background check completed" and barring a few data points, all of them have background check completed next day and lpp completed and decision made within a month of "fingerprints received " update (total application period of 140 day).

This happened to me.. Got my test invite before background check. Where does one see the ""fingerprints received " update? Does it show up in tracker?

I am not sure if it shows up on tracker. Maybe it can be answered by members who submitted their fingerprints. The may thread is a good place to ask this question as I see many people submitting their prints

I received FP Request, It does not show on tracker till the time IRCC receive results and process those.

How much time did it take ircc to update the receipt in your case? Thanks

This is not completely true. I got my test invite before background. I was also expecting FP request but then after I gave the test, both my test and background was updated to "completed".
