Perhaps there is a mismatch between our declaration and the entry/exit records they obtained from CBSA. I've never been this confused..lol
Or they can't find all the entry/exit data for you and are looking further. Or could be your application was selected for quality assurance check for physical presence.
There are a few scenarios and you'll drive yourself nuts trying to figure out why. This is why IRCC recommends that applicants apply with well over the 1095 days. If applicants have ample buffer days (e.g. 30+ days) then IRCC does not need to deeply scrutinize any possible date discrepancies because they know you'll meet the 1095 requirement. But if applicants traveled and then apply with exactly 1095 days or let's say a 5 day buffer, then IRCC would scrutinize date discrepancies to ensure the 1095 requirement is met.

Hey Guys,

I am starting to get really worried that there might be an issue with my application. Its been more than a month since my test was marked complete (Feb 21, 2025) and nothing has happened since. Background and LPP are showing in progress. I have not received any fingerprint requests or any communication at all. One the tracker it just says what to do if i haven't received the test invite which is not helpful.. I am using a representative for this application. They said it is still within regular processing time and to wait a little bit longer. I am not sure what to do. How long should i wait before any taking any steps. I want to try calling IRCC but i am not sure if that's the best idea or if it can have a negative impact on my application. Also not sure how to reach them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why is a representative needed for citizenship application? is it more beneficial?

Anyways - I think you are overthinking - I guess people just give them a call ask for whats the latest...

Or just wait some. If it's within the estimated processing time, it's within the estimated processing time and no obvious signs anything wrong. Not all applications will be processed faster than average - in fact, less than half.*

*Okay, technically less than half faster than the median.

Same situation with @WifeOfUSProgrammer. Test complete Feb 18. Tracker updated Feb 20.

Requested GCMS and waiting.

@USProgrammer Can’t make 4 PM due to a meeting, but I’ll join after. It’s not quite meal time for me, so I’ll catch you once you’ve finished dinner.
Sorry, bud. Probably won’t be around. He has to do early dinner due to another obligation and my normal time zone is 2 hours ahead of PDT. Maybe another time in another life.

I called IRCC today to check whats going on on with our application since its already 1 month after my daughter test is updated today, our BG updated last march 13 after giving the FP on Feb 19th, the officer said nothing to worry your application still on process and our processing time is 9 mos so still on track. I asked which office now, since our test came from scarborough office and our FP from vancouver, and she told me still in vancouver office but if they request for any docs or paper it will be under niagara falls. So the advise that she gave is just wait, no other request as of now, she did not confirm if LPP is done she only said your paper still on track, be patient and dont compare other application from your application because some application are complex… well i think i will stop looking for the tracker for a while and if i will receive email thats it… theres an update… Goodluck to us again Guys… keep on waiting

Yes. You BG only completed on Mar 10th, a lot of folks after 15th Feb are still waiting, not much LPP activity in the last 2 weeks. Looks like its going to be quite a wait for all.

completely irrelevant - this is student visa. This is not applicable to citizenship. They have a different workflow altogether
Hmm... I'm not an expert on this, but it's interesting to see how IRCC operates and what tools they use. I'm pretty sure they follow the same principles for citizenship applications, especially when handling cases in batches—there's several pieces of evidence for this if you analyze data from the tracker and IMMI tool. That said, I'm not an expert and have no clue about the specifics of their process. Just because it's irrelevant to you doesn't mean it's irrelevant to everyone else.
