May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

Regarding the BG Completed. My BG was completed on 28th and tracker was updated on 30th. I am reading a FB post that there are multiple folks who passed BG hope this is real and not a IRCC Glitch. I had ordered GCMS notes which indicates that criminality is passed Test in Progress LPP not started.

There were a WHOLE lot of us who got BG updates on Aug 30, I doubt it would be a glitch this massive.

I'm hoping IRCC does the same with the LPP what they did with the background check, a bulk approval on a massive level.

Hoping that's the case Having BG Completed is a great progress.

I saw that too but I am debating whether to believe it and call IRCC to confirm or not. People post of lot of misinformation that is anything but helpful.

GCMS notes are the best IRCC Agents are unreliable and wouldn't trust them. Strangely I got GCMS notes within two weeks.

We’re on almost the same timeline. I submitted on May 27, received AOR on June 26, and background check was marked complete on July 4. It’s been two months since then, but haven’t had any updates.

Apparently, the background check status update was a system glitch after all.
A lot of people have reported that their status was changed back to in progress. There were some cases where the AOR was 27th of Aug and the BC completed on 28th Aug.
But for us, May applicants and June AOR, most of the BC update was real and not a glitch.

Same here. Submitted May 26, AOR on July 7, no updates. It's frustrating because some April applicants have already gotten their oath invite...

Is it though? Not for me, I believe, despite getting my AOR in August. I have active trusted traveller status so that must've helped expedite the verification process, but certainly not a glitch for some of us.
