March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[ankusaxe9]

Hi @ankusaxe9, congratulations. did you get your background completed a day after the fingerprints were submitted? this indicates that it is almost automatic process.

Yes once fingerprints are received by IRCC, background got updated. Looks to me an automatic update.

Hi everyone. I got an automated email from IRCC today. The email contains information about citizenship e-certificate and how to sign up for the IRCC Portal to download the e-certificate. I haven't scheduled to take an oath yet because I am still waiting for it. I signed up for this portal but I can't download the e-certificate. That's expected because I haven't taken an oath. I am just curious why I am getting this email prematurely.

The attachment reads like this:
