March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[PoutineLover]

Hi Everyone,

My timeline;

March 15th Application
October 31st AOR
December 1st Started Processing
March 2nd Fingerprint Request

I have few questions;

1. Is getting Fingerprint request quite common? or its due to some reason.
2. Does this mean I am close to getting test date or it means this will be further delayed?
3. What are your expectation for test invites for March applicants?

Thanks

It definitely means there's some progress - they're probably not all sitting around.

Maybe they'll get the FP requests done for everyone and just schedule everyone for an exam together.
Or maybe they could just send out test invites as they please, but either way I don't expect test invites for us before the Jan/Feb folks.

P.s - no previous criminal offence history.

There is always first time , that's why takes so long to get citizenship, they challenging us.

Anyone recently called CIC to check their status? Is it the generic answer?

Hello,

I mailed my application in early may 2020. They emailed my early Nov 2020 saying that they have recieved my application. How many people are still waiting for the test to be issued. I have to go back to India in Oct for my sis wedding. But my indian passport expires in June. So I am wondering if I should renew it or wait for canadian one. Please advise.

Called CIC on Tuesday and was told that the background check was passed successfully and my documents were sent to Scarborough office on February 10, then next step I was told is test invite which I don't think gonna happen any time soon according to reviews about Scarborough and Mississaiga office.
Though, I'm finally able to see my profile on ecas, despite it's only 1 line when the application was received.

Where in Winnipeg did you book the fingerprint appointment?

As my spouse received it but I did not received FP request and we applied together and also landed together.

The email which I got it states I need to send it to CPC Sydney.

I booked at the Forensics Canada (204)415-1021.

Thanks @cdfaria

Are those guys authorized to do Fingerprinting?

As per this CIC website for Biometrics I don't see them listed for Winnipeg, https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/where-to-give-biometrics.asp
