I passed one year from my test and still probation and residency not started . I talked to Mp and they send the email to them 17 days a go but no news yet .I passed the 18 month from beginning. I requested ATIP and compared it by one that i ordered October 2018 . Word by word was the same no changes. Just the top was the date of January 2019.but all update data was October 2018.
I am finishing my 16 months and entering the 17th month in 2 days - still no sign of any update after my test...

That is sad ,there is less option we can do in this stage. I send the letter, my lawyer did and my MP as well , nothing changed . Unfortunately there is no transparency to find out what is the problem .

I sent an webform a couple of weeks ago and still haven't heard back yet - the response time was pretty quick right after my 12-month period was done, I usually would get the same response (at least some response lol) within 2 or 3 days, and I hadn't sent any since I got my test invite -- but now it seems like they are back to the 'ignore' mode

One thing that always puzzles me is: they could have just given a little bit more information on our status than just 'XXX checking is pending' , but they chose not too - if they give some information on where/what the delay is about, at least we could have some idea and ask them less ... but that's how this office works and there's no hope of them ever changing...

I requested the report , it showed nothing and said the rest can’t be disclosed (or something like that) , waste of time to request that lol

I received the response from my MP nothing new .

"" The application was considered non-routine due to the following reason(s):

o the file is under review because it requires further verifications. Be certain that the responsible office will inform the applicant, if they have to provide further details.

· The criminality verifications are currently valid.

· The security verifications are currently valid.

· The immigration verifications have not been initiated.

· Your constituent passed their citizenship exam on February 12, 2018.

· Because the application is non-routine, there is no specific processing times to finalize it. Rest assured that all efforts are being made to ensure efficient processing of the application"

Did you get finger print request ?so sorry you have to go through this ... I will probably end up like this too...

Is this the first time they told you it’s non- routine? Did they say anything during your interview?

I did my fingerprints November 2017. Base my GCMS note it is clear. I called several times to call center and they told me my file is routine and it is the first time that they saying my file is none routine. I had a wired interview. First they ask me and 4 other applicants to come to separate room for interview in scarbrough . And during interview agent ask me why you have a lawyer and why your lawyer is the same as first lawyer when you applied to come to canada . Why you have stresses. It took 5 min but It wasnt look like interview .

I said my lawyer is the best lawyer and he is a professor in immigration field . Also you call my name in front of 100 applicant to come to the separate room for interview and telling me why you have a stress. Any one get stress in this situation

Weird ... based on the definition from IRCC website, finger print request is one of the indicators of non-routine ... so you had a lawyer for PR application and citizenship application?

Ya he was my lawyer 7 years a go when I applied to come to canda as a skill worker. So I asked him to do my citizenship too because I was so busythat time. I didn't know it is a big deal for them .

I never thought about using any lawyer about these ... I’d have to gather those documents that they wouldnt be able to get, might as well just save the money and do it myself

Hi... I noticed that my status finally changed to "Decision Made" this morning after 15 months. However, there is no information about the ceremony invitation. Do they usually send a separate email later? Thanks
