I called IRCC since my application has exceeded the 14 month processing time. They told me that my application is "non-standard" because they requested fingerprints and an interview from me. She said there is no way to expedite the application, and it would take as long as it takes. The 14 month time does not apply to non-standard applications.

Ugh!

They sent this email today ( 8 months after the application and getting AOR and passing BG) . I already applied again on June 11th.
Hello Mr. .....,



This email is in response to an inquiry received regarding your family’s application. Your family’s file has been in CPC Sydney since you have submitted it.



Your family file was delayed as a review of physical presence was required.



Upon review of the file, it was determined that your wife’s application did not meet the required physical presence of 1095 days. When a member of a family file does not meet physical presence, the whole file is returned with an explanation letter.



Therefore, your family’s applications have been returned to your home address. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery via Canada Post.



The explanation letter will advise you of the circumstance.



Thank you for your attention to this matter.



Yours truly,



K....

Citizenship Officer / CPC Sydney

After waiting so long, I have finally been approved for citizenship and will have my ceremony April 10! Good luck to all of you who are still waiting. I hope the wait won't be much longer!

hi, Congratulations!
Are you able to download your e-Certificate?
It was an in-person ceremony. I received a hard copy certificate there on Wednesday. On Friday morning around 8 AM, my ECAS changed to "completed" and I then applied for my passport.

Hi All, I have received the email to download ecertificate but I am not able to generate an invite code. It’s a gmail email address. It always gives message that there is a technical error . But when i put a random email address, it generates a code. Can anybody please suggest a solution? Thanks

Don't worry, probably will ask for a second FP or it will return to complete again if no FP is required. Just more delays!
