Oh okay, after my interview on the 25th of July they asked for additional documents on the 28th and no update afterwards after waiting for almost 6month for an update after passing my test in February
Hope you hear something soon. IRCC is always unpredictable. I see Jan 2023 applicants getting oath in Scarborough and we are waiting for over month for oath.

I received my GSMS notes today. It doesn't say that much. Criminality/Prohibitions seems to say passed. Security is redacted. BG check Not Started. That's about it!

Guys, let's change our strategy. I've posted in a couple of other threads but for Sydney office folks,
I propose we all send a letter to Minister Marc Miller complaining about the delay of the Sydney office. If his office receives multiple letters about the same issue, they're bound to look into it.

I am not sure what is completed for me or what has even started. I never left Canada since 2016, didn't have to provide any foreign police certificates. Everything on the online tracker is just in progress. GCMS notes don't give much info. Security section is redacted. On one of the notes, an officer says criminality passed. But I can't really see anything else. I just ordered GCMS from CSIS and CBSA, hoping ill get more information from their records.

Good day everyone! I can finally say, I graduated from this forum. Thanks for everyone who has helped me answering my questions and sharing their stories. I have been with the forum for about 10 years, I have learned a lot of tips and tricks based on personal experiences. I got denied at least 5 times for TWP and SP. My last try was August 2016 - I finally got my SP. I finished school in Dec 2018 and landed a job before I finished my course. I got my WP in April 2019 and my PR on Oct 2020 through EE - CEC. Today, I applied for my passport as I have planned for my US trip without knowing I'd be approve before my flight. Below is my Citizenship timeline:
