November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[dmn1363]

Hi everyone, I am a November 2017 applicant (an Iranian), today at February 8th. at 9am was supposed to be my oath ceremony,but yesterday at 3:30 pm someone from IRCC office called me that your ceremony was cancelled.When I asked her the reason "she said you criminality letter not yet received".It is shame! Whenever I called the IRCC agent during the last 6 months they told me that everything is OK,but waiting for prohibition and residency checks.What is happening in IRCC after I finished my test and completed DECISION MADE and ceremony invitation, just 1/2 a day remaining for the oath,they are still waiting for my CRIMINALITY situation. Any comment!

French2014,
Did you request ATIP before? If so, on the second page it says the status of your Criminality check.

No,I asked IRCC office on Feb.8th and I raised my objection , they said the subject will be followed by them and I was also told that my file is fine and nothing is pending.

Are you serious? I am entering the 17th month of waiting in 5 days but what you have experienced is a whole new level of ridiculous service by IRCC...

Hi,

I finally have a test date for February 13. live downtown Toronto, have to write the test in Mississauga.

date received February 5.

Please update spreadsheet

Application was received Nov 30, 2017, still NO NEWS about my test or anything at all. I'm starting to wonder if they've lost my documents. No one answers my questions. I feel like I'm the only one from Nov 2017 who hasn't even been invited to the test.

which office did your application went to? i now received my test date. two weeks before the actual date.

Thanks for congrats. It was background check that hold back my application. (Test was 10May2018 and Background check was completed 21Jan2019).
I called IRCC on monthly basis and requested CSIS and IRCC ATIP. I can't make a case if it had push my application forward but it worth the try to request ATIP. May be it moves thing around and someone bothers to look at your file.

Cheers,

does requesting atip/gscm notes cause delay in application process?
