March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[PoutineLover]

How long did you have to wait for ATIP response? I applied in Sep 2 and havent heard anything back.

ATIP takes about 30-45 days. I'd applied back in July and got my response in August.

Any March 2020 applicants from Ottawa still waiting for the test?

I am a March 2020 from Ottawa, still waiting for the test, about to give up, not worth the wait.

Same here, from Oakville ON, still waiting for test, and my wife completed her test in April, only test and background check are marked as completed

Congrats. Mine is on 6th Oct too but have not received any email, they say we may get it 2 days before too. On the site it says "If you haven’t received the notice by the date of the scheduled appointment, contact us". So lets wait till that date

My oath ceremony is 7th oct and Scarborough. I am also yet to get the letter. Pls where is your processing centre. If they ask us to contact them on or close to the date I fear at times its difficult to reach them and also it takes time(days/weeks) before they respond to email. So I was thinking maybe send a message a week before. Pls anyone in Scarborough who has done the oath kindly let us know how soon before the oath they send out the letters. Thanks

Is there any way to go knock on the door of IRCC Ottawa office? Not kidding, seriously thinking about it.

@Kanedaa @cana_cana @Nymphet28 @immg.applicant - March applicant here. No test scheduled yet. I hope they watched the Prime minister's speech yesterday to be inspired to "go back to work"

There's hidden words at the end "go back to work and sleep"

Still waiting for the test.... When I called IRCC a few months ago, I was told that my file is test-ready.

I am just wondering what is going on with my file. It is just taking so long to move to the next step.

I renewed my PR Card and just received it yesterday.

Honestly, yesterday's election result is Karma for the Liberal Government - why is it so complicated to send test invites and conduct oath ceremonies?

My file is in Scarborough too. No new updates from them since Feb 03 background done. Hang in there. Hope you get to hear back shortly

DM on July 29, still waiting

 

[VictorCA]

No updates yet. Calgary. August 6th DM. I guess for the Calgary people, enjoy the Bow River view while looking at the IRCC building on the other side.

We got a new Minister of Labour and Immigration today (Shandro). Maybe he'll make positive changes?

Hello everyone,

Please i need clarification just going through my COPR document received today wondering if this will affect me for citizenship or anything. The passport number mentioned is my old passport which expires next year may but I got it renewed and sent to cic but apparently they never updated it. Will this pose a problem for my in any way, or do I need to update it to current passport number. I currently reside in Canada. And I have both old and new passport with me

I have almost same timeline. My background check completed on May 12. Still no test invite! No other changes yet! I have seen some people applied in this year and already got test invite and found on another group someone got oath invitation. Don’t know what the officers are doing!!!!!
I am planning to apply to renew my PR card. How long it took for you to get the PR card?
one question, how did you write for the addresses and work section in the application form? I guess they said to start from the oldest address and end to the present one. Or should I start from the Present one and end to the oldest one? Please advise me if possible.
Thank you kindly for your time.
