Does anybody give me thoughts about the background check? My AOR is 12 of November. Just my test is passed?
You can call them and ask at what stage is your application pending....and subsequently ask whether they are waiting for any report from any department , agency, or anything pending at your end, e.g. finger prints etc, whther they asked anything from me and I didn't got the update or info,....so just try to ask them and lets see....if they can come up with any info.

Oath done. Thank you so much all. You all have been wonderful. My application was with SCR office. Waiting for citizenship certificate and passport application.
Applying for passport seems to be an expense that IRCC should do away with. They request us to cut the PR card (travel document for us) in 4 pieces - well ideally they should be providing with a new passport (new travel document) within the same application (and in the same cost as well).

Received GCMS notes today and I see that ICES has been requested on December 2023
LPP not started.

Due date says 18 Feb 2024 which I know means nothing.

This is going to be a long wait.

Congratulations. How long was the oath-taking ceremony. Is it really 2.5 hrs long as they say in the instructions pdf. Moreover, do update us how long it took for your citiczenship certificate available for download ? By the way, I agree with you that they shouldn't ask for PR to be cut. We can continue using it until expiry. It can exist on its own capacity.

It got over in 1.5 hours. I am still waiting for citizenship certificate - may be I will get an email notification once it is uploaded?
I am writing an email to my local MP advising him of this proposal. It is understood they would have to cut PR card - but in replacement they have to provide another travel document in the same fees!

But thing is I don't know how many years were pending on your PR card, but for passport you many wanna get 5 years expiry or with 10 years expiry, so different fees for different duration.

Hi I have a question for submitting proof for english language what did you submitted if you didn't gave IELTS or any other test in past ?
I have done my masters degree in IT but from India and on the degree certificate it is not mentioned that the course was in english.
