No i dint reschedule anything at anytime neither was any delay as such in background check. It was just IRCC laziness my file like many other applicants was long forgotten i would say it was a processing delay because new processing time for citizenship is 25 months and according to iRCC i m very lucky to getting it done before 25 months

I think there's a reson why your test was completed so early compared to your background. May be you didn't notice at the time, but I bet your application went for a long security and/or criminality check.

These days it's common for test and background to overlap but I think they were waiting for bg to be done and then soon after everything is completed.

Well i did noticed this and this didnt happen to me only it happened to other applicants i know in friend circle or family as well...anyone who applied before oct 2021 had weird timeline and according to my gcms noticed ordered in dec and received in jan my bg was already completed as of oct 12 2021, but was never updated in system/tracker
Also during my 1095 day waiting period i never left canada i landed on 15 may 2018 and stayed here till 17 may 2021 day i sent my application i only travelled outside canada in nov 2021 way after I applied
Anyway i guess we can all just speculate what and ifs from all i know through my MP or talking to IRCC agents they changed the process time to 27 to 25 months and were just taking their time cz of covid backlog

And from my gcms notice the deadline to complete all other things was 25 aug 2022 (their internal due date) so on aug 24 they completed my BG following their own pre set deadline whereas around the same time the gcms notes which were ordered and received with a delay the pages where all other fields are mentioned werent sent all fields had same due date of 25 aug but they never sent me those pages cz they were obviously not meeting their own deadlines

Hello Everyone,
Finally we completed our in person oath yesterday at Vancouver. We are thankful to all the group members for kind support.

One suggestion for my friends who are still waiting for action, please find out your processing office and start writing direct emails. Even if they donot reply keep writing them as reminder every week. This is something I did in Aug and sep and got good results.
All the best

Good morning! does anyone have the CIC Ottawa email address? I have received 'Decision Made' and want to see if they have a rough ETA for the Oath invitation.
I emailed my MP and he told me the CIC agent indicated that the deadline for my application is July 13, 2023. I hope that is the latest the process should complete by and not the actual timeline. Thank you
