Wow, thanks for sharing! The list is impressive. I didn't know about interview with the officer. Do you have any details of that? Also, I didn't know that they will request a bunch of documents before the test. Is it mandatory or depends on the officer?

I just checked the site, and they seem to be having an issue. I don't know if you can buy it anywhere else.

I was able to order it from them last week, so it seems to be a temporary issue. You should probably wait for a couple of days and ty again.

No, they replied stating that it was normal processing. Which is great, but fingerprints can be sent anytime between IP and DM

in progress as of March 8, 2021.
What is the next step? Fingers print?

The next step is generally the Test and then the Oath. Some folk may receive a FP request, and rarely, some folk receive a residence questionnaire i.e., an RQ. I haven't seen any posts regarding RQs in the last year, so I am not sure whether those are still in play.

Hello,

I am new to this forum and would like to get into the loop.

I had submitted my husbands application on October 3 (I am his representative).

I didn’t hear anything at all from them, so called today. They said they got the application on October 7, and on December 31 they mailed me the AOR and a copy of Discover Canada. However, I never received any of that.

The person I spoke to told me that his application is in process, and is currently undergoing background verification. Once that is done, his file will be sent to the Ottawa office (our local one), and they will contact us for his citizenship test. She gave me a link to eCAS, and according to that his application has been in progress since March 1.

My question to you guys is: how long does the background process take place typically?

Thank you,
