October 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[snesmi]

did you request urgent processing for all member of family one by one? or you sent just one request for whole family?
i'd suggest you to give CIC a call and clarify with them, this would be the best and quickest way...

I didn't know there was an Urgent Processing option when we sent the documents by mail as a family. On the online form, one can only request it for one person. There is no option to request for the whole family.
I tried emailing CIC and got a round-about-the-bush answer that didn't tell me anything useful apart from waiting and checking the tracker.
What number should I call? Is there one where you actually talk to a person and not a machine?

the option is to send urgent for ALL members one by one(separate requests), this is what i was advised by CIC

I am October Applicant, my all sections are in progress?
Anything to worry as majority of the peoples getting test invites

Nice Congrats Test soon... I would predict. When did you status changed to In Process and Background also. We need more details !! And the spreadsheet is not updated with your stats.

Admin, you can also add BG Completed date to my line in the tracker. Check my sig for stats. Thank you.

If your BG is still in progress, your application could be stuck in either criminality or security (generally, the former). If your application is stuck in criminality, then you can expect to receive fingerprint request. It is unlikely for you to receive a test invitation until your BG checks are complete.

My application has been test ready since March 24 with BG completed on March 9th but my test invite hasn't seen the light of the day yet.

There is no established timeline. It has been almost 3.5 months since my BG was set to "Completed" but no invitation yet. People used to say you get the test around the 90 day mark from BG Complete status but that isn't true for all applicants. However, there are several people that did get the test invitation within 3 months of BG "Completed" status.

Tomorrow is exactly 90 days for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.
