Similar situation for me, with BG check done in Feb 2021.
Test in Oct 2021.
However they never asked for FP.
And it still noted as "completed" but I read BG was valid only 1 year.
Thank you for your reply. Don’t know what is happening?? These people are very lazy and don’t understand our situation!!
 
Hello,

I applied in March 2020 for my application along with My husband and Kid's application. Test completed in August 2021. status updated to complete on September 2021 for all 5 steps. The citizenship ceremony tab still shows not started. after that no communication from CIC. I sent a web form asking the status in Feb 2022. no reply. the old tracker shows the decision made for me and my husband. The kid's status is still under process. However yesterday I received a survey mentioning that I received a decision made on the file and should rate the experience.
did anybody receive such a survey?
 
Hey guys, I am very concerned about my application. I've applied in March 2020, done the exam in March 2021 and till now the only 2 things which got to completed are the citizenship test and background check. All others are still in progress so I asked to ATIP and found a comment on my file in July 2021 "Application requires additional documentation (PC). ORG 700 expired as application is no longer part of OTW" does anyone know what does this mean?

Was any of your ID/passport expired after you submit?
It should not be the case that they need renewed ID of same document as its not part of eligibility criteria but still trying to guess what they are trying to ask.
Were you required to submit any police clearance? Will pc be police clearance?
Is this gcms notes you received recently?

Hi,
I was in the same situation. Similar dates. We are a family of three. We just got oath invite. My kid's status kept the whole time in progress even till the ceremony. So, don't worry about your kid's status it will change only when you become a citizen.
I didn't receive that survey. I think It's random. So, there's no other way than to be patient. I think your family will receive Oath Invite very soon.

They did not ask me to submit anything after submitting my passport copies nor a police certificate. I've even asked my MP to request the status of my application and they said that IRCC are not waiting for me to submit anything. But that being said, when they asked me to submit copies of my passports, which were included in the application and are in hand right now, I couldn't submit the latest one because when I applied for a renewal, a new stupid law came in place that if there were no visas on my passport, they destroy old one. So I got the new passport but the old one was never given back to me. I've mentioned that in my email and I told them that I've took a scanned copy of all the pages of the old one and I am happy to share it with them. But they said we are ok. So do you think this is the reason for all this delay?

Oh ok. Some people got their file moved after contacting MP. Hopefully it will happen to your file. Will see.
You should not worry about the comment as it may not be the final determination of their need.
So whats the paper file location & app status app status reason?
