1. Yes it can complete without it. Lot are done with background check including myself without any FP.
2. No need to expect. if they need, they will ask. I too didnt give FP.

Guys, finally an update.

Citizenship test updated to completed on Aug 15th 2021. Language, Physical Presence, Prohibitions - in progress. Ceremony - not started.

Bit of history - App sent Oct 2019 - Process started Jan 3rd 2020 - Test email received on Feb 8th 2021 - I had given my test on Feb 22nd 2021 and had received no further update.

Unique situation since I received completion after almost 6 months but any advise as to when can I see everything else completed?

I've updated the spreadsheet.

To avoid disappointment, expect it'll take at least 3 - 5 months for oath notification from the date the test results were validated.

About "Decision Made" status, it could take a couple of months from the date when the test results were validated. This is when Language, Physical Presence, Prohibitions are set to "Completed".

Damn. 6 months to review my test and another 3-5 months for oath ceremony.

Yup. Every time I called they said they were just dealing with "backlogs" lol. Our government need to improve their work efficiency.

Hey guys,

I had applied to receive GCMS notes for my Citizenship file. I received them today - it's a 25 page detailed file but I'm not sure what to exactly look for.

Can someone give me a walkthrough?
Thanks!

Wondering what their definition of "backlog" is. We are also part of that backlog.

You can take a look and compare it with your sections in your notes.

Just finished my citizenship ceremony. It's extremely chaotic on zoom but nonetheless, it happens only once. Today is my first day as a Canadian Citizen.

Its been a long journey and a lot of paperwork, from student visa to work permit to PR to citizenship and this forum has been very helpful. Thank you to everyone who has helped along in the journey and answered questions on this forum. This forum is the best!

Good luck everyone with your respective journeys.

In September 2022, I will be representing Canada at the Golden Globe Race which is a solo non-stop round the world sailing race which will keep me at sea for more than 250 days. Please support me and pray that I win the race for Canada. You can follow along the journey on my website and social media.
