Hi, I am May 12th 2021 applicant. I had my interview on July 12th and everything is completed in citizenship tracker. I haven’t received anything after that, can anyone give me the email address for kitchener office or niagara office?
I’m frustrated with the process.

Try requesting them. Write a nice email to the same email address you got test invite from. Ask them for Oath date.

I have almost same timeline. Last update was Background verification - Completed- May 23, 2022 . nothing after that. The only difference is the due date on my ATIP notes in 2022/08/28

When you guys say ATIP notes, are these the same as the GCMS notes we order under the access to information act?

What is the due date as well?

Thanks

Your office is different than mine. Hopefully you'll move to next steps pretty soon!!

I think GCMS notes are free and for ATIP you need to pay $5. Which I think is not useful at all. GCMS are good enough.

Each of 6 steps e.g. Background Verification, Language, Physical presence , etc have a set future due date assigned by which they are expected to close/complete it.

Interesting.

I contacted my MP's office, he spoke to IRCC and apparently when applicants request their notes, the application is paused until the notes are issued. What a joke really.
