May 2018 - Citizenship Applicants

[Muns59]

Hi sorry to hear that you have not received your test invitation. I think I am in the same situation. I am an April applicant and still waiting for the test. The agent told me that my security checks are ok and I am test ready. After talking to my mp office I was told that they’re doing further verification and it can take 24 months. I don’t know what to do now.

yes seems like we are in the same boat. It was my MP office who brought the outstanding immigration checks to my attention. IRCC never mentioned it to me and said I was test ready. Only when I enquired they said yes but your test invite can still come. I’m assuming we would have still have some wait . It sucks because I am worried about making commitments to travel overseas and then they send you a test invite .

I think you have to call them again and again.

I think you have to call them again and again.

thanks. I am calling them again right now. I call them every month. they tell me if I don't get an update in 4 weeks then I can call. I always wondered if this annoys them.

Did you order Atip notes ?

Did you order Atip notes ?

yes I have it ordered it twice. the last time was in August. so I may order it soon. in august the agent told me I am test ready, every month when I call I'm told the same and can only wait. It sucks

Hi all. Glad to know most has gotten through with their oaths by now, I think May 2018 applicants had the most time anomalies.

I unfortunately am still waiting on my test invite. When I called at the end of August the agent surprisingly told me I was “test ready” and will have to wait on the Scarborough office to contact me for a date. I thought this was good news but on asking
The criminality verifications are currently valid
The security verifications are currently valid
The immigration verifications have not been initiated.

I was told that the test can still happen while the immigration verifications are undergoing.

I called back last week to see what’s the update. Exact same situation. I asked if there is anything I can do and they said nothing. Immigration verifications still have not been started.

I don’t even know what to do anymore.

When I contacted my MPs office they said if it isn’t sorted by year end to re-contact them. Guess with elections etc and I’m not a possible voter they can’t be bothered.

any advice ?

you're not alone mate loll still waiting
