I gave test on Aug 9th, I didn't get any update until Nov 4th, almost 3 months. Even now they asked me to send copies of passport, it has been over 10 days since I sent them the copies but my tracker still says "waiting for information" from my end. I emailed them to confirm if they received the copies of my passport and they acknowledged it with a reply. I don't think that tracker is reliable and sometimes they are working on their end but it doesn't get updated on tracker. On Nov 22nd, it will be one year since I submitted my application online.

We also received a passport scan copies request and we sent the scanned copies. However, we did not receive any (automated) response to that email.
Can you please share the email address you used to confirm that they received the passport scan?

Is your BG also not completed? What is your location?

Similar situation here.. No travel at all after landing/PR. No updates/communication of any sort after test updated to complete on 24th Aug.. Bg check completed before test and status still marked as completed... going to be a year since application date on 19th..

So not sure how much travel affects the processing since there are ppl waiting for updates with no travel...

Just need to wait patiently I guess...

Same here, No update since May 2022, after test completion date.

Maybe they reached the online applications target (32K) for the year? If so, it (online app processing) will resume only in April?

If this is true, IRCC sucks

I am a paper applicant. I have noticed most of the decsion made applications were submitted before Nov 10-15, 2021. I dont remember seeing even one application completed after Nov 15. For the month of November.

BG and test complete Toronto

Where they post how many applications per year
And why they should do such thing

Question for those who were schedule for their Citizenship Ceremony. When does your tracker update? Once you receive the invite email?

I called IRCC and they told me my ceremony is scheduled and I will receive an invite email 1 week prior to the ceremony, but my tracker still shows "Not Started".

What the agent told you is final. If you are scheduled, you are scheduled. I hope you asked for the oath date. Wait until you have about 7-8 days left. But keep sat and sun in mind and start calling them, emailing them and sending them webform if you have less then 7 days for your oath
