May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[ceejay132]

This is my two cents:

We have a similar timeline. As a reminder:
Online application from Vancouver
Submitted May 12
AOR June 5
Test: July 10 (completed on July 13)
BG and LPP in progress

I don't have extensive travel outside the country. Very simple application and routine in my opinion. Yet the BG is taking so long.
After reading many timelines I just realize that it is all random!!
Even some people speculate that if they ask for FP it means it is non routine and it will take longer. But we have seen many applicants with FP requests that have already got their certificates.
Another speculation is that families take longer than single applicants. Again not true! Based on evidence. Neither the 'paper' vs 'online' applications. So I have no idea!

The travel history i sent to them in the explanation letter is from previous years before being a PR. It's just weird

We 3 have the same timelines. And I found out that my LPP was assigned to RC 8090. They haven't even started my LPP when I ordered notes. I have a total of 32 days away for the 5 year period? I am thinking that my app is delayed because either I have been a PR since 2009 and I'm just applying now so there's a lot to look at or that because it's just in Sydney and they are so damn slow.

I doubt it is because of the long wait between PR and citizenship. I have been a PR since 2021 and yet we have a similar timeline! I ordered notes this week. So when I find out what office is processing my application I'll let you know. I have no clue because I never received the email for my test!

Any luck for file processing at scarborough office? Any oath invite or any LPP completed?

 

[sb23]

No, just webform and it came like in 10 minutes!!

Thanks. Any luck with the certificate yet? I sent an email to my case office and I got the instructions to download the certificate, but it's not available yet.

Nothing yet. Still waiting and getting kinda impatient seeing everyone getting their LPP done & oath scheduled.

I think I might have an idea why my application is a bit "delayed". They might have classified it as non routine (just assuming) because they requested for police report same day I got my AOR. However my background was completed since June.

Also, I sent them a letter of explanation same period i got my AOR in June explaining why I didn't include my visit history under the section that asks if you have had any immigration status in any country before. I didn't think visit visa was considered an immigration status. However, I later realised on the drop down options, there was a visit option. So I sent them a letter explaining this and added a history of all my travels as a visitor.

I'm just guessing such letters or situations delays the processing.

Not sure though. Any thoughts on this?

Yes I think so. I also sent a webform as soon as I got AOR because I forgot to include a student visa for the same question. I received an email about 3 months later acknowledging that webform and saying it would be forwarded. So I think that’s dropped me out of the quick/straightforward path I was on. As I’m due to leave the country in a few weeks - I’m now kinda hoping it gets delayed until I get back.

What does RC 8090 mean ?

RC 8090 is the code for Sydney office. I found out through my GCMS notes.

Thank you. Yes I requested the GCMS notes as well but I am not much wiser after reading them.

It looks like no one even touched my file after my exam.
