March 2022 - citizenship applications

[aregm]

Hi, I want to have my family passports stamps/visas translated by a colleague with the use of affidavit. Have couple quesitons.
1. Can someone provide a template how should the translation look like? Is it something like
Passport of John Smith, series AB123456, page 7: John Smith is registered on 123 Foreign St, Delhi, India, on 2008-09-01, page 10, marriage registered ... etc.
2. We apply on a paper as a family of 3. How many affidavits should we have in this case?
Thank you very much in advance.

I saw some applicants have received oath invitation, while their physcial presence, language skills and prohibitions in the tracker are still showing in progress?

Could you link to where you saw that please? Some applicants are language and test exempt because they are over 55. But I believe every app is subject to physical presence and prohibitions.

My background check is not complete yet, even though the fingerprints were received back in November. Anyone is a similar situation?

Only my test is completed. Everything else is in progress and the oath is not started.

me too, the same situation

I don't mean the requirements are exempt but just not reflected in the tracker

I took the citizenship test last December since then there is no movement LPP are still in process. Is it a good idea to request GCMS notes? Does it cause any delays in the application?

I don't think it would make a difference. I took my test in November and still waiting. Online application and Scarborough office.

Nothing else changed since? I believe I saw someone post early that the supposed timeline form test to ceremony invite is 4-6 months. Niagara seems to be laggy. I just did my test last week and it was confirmed in 2 days. Hopefully u get a response soon

nothing else has changed since the test completed

I don't think it will delay your application . You might not get the GCMS notes though. I applied for GCMS notes on Nov 3rd and then again Jan 4th. Never received any.

Hoping and praying our time will come. Keeping fingers crossed. Please let me know when you have your ceremony. We have come this far. Surely we will reach the end. Patience is key. Good luck.

SCR office seems to be sleeping with all our applications. I too completed my test on Nov 14 but no updates since then. It's been 3 months now.
