Do IRCC officers work? I guess that they stopped their work in the name of the high volume of applications.

Nothing happened for more than 4 months since I passed citizenship test. Even BG is still in progress. I have no idea about the reason.

Everything is just a kind of random. Probably IRCC officers would play on-line games or enjoy their hobbies whole the day.
Same here.. no update since they received my Fingerprint records 20th Dec 2023 and even BG is still in progress (Family application for 3, Scarborough office).

Not sure about paper applications however, for online ones, the email address of the ID you receive your citizenship test invite is your processing office.

Hi. Has it moved forward since ? ...Did you apply for renewal of your passport ?
Background verification and prohibitions turned to Completed on Apr 25. Its all Green and Completed now. But no email regarding Oath. I am assuming its all done now and there will be another wait for getting the oath invitation. Does anyone knows how long it can take to get the Oath Invitation since now everything is completed?

BTW, we didnt renew the passport yet. Hopefully we will get the Oath Invite without too much delay.

Hi guys!! I’ve been scheduled for an in person interview. My letter of invitation to appear says I can only take one person. I would like to take my wife husband and our 6 months old. My question is, will they consider the baby as the 3rd person or no? Thank you.

Hi any one stuck in the process where no test invite has been received yet? I submitted my application in October 2023 and my AOR date is November 21, 2023 no update after that what so ever, when I call them to check on the status of the application response was it is well within the timeline and there is no update. Ordered GCMS notes and it stays process not started, my tracker only has information stating in process for language, background, prohibition and physical presence. If you were stuck like me did you do anything to get your application processed. Any information on this would be really helpful.

Yeah, I am in similar situation and I think there would be a few more. I believe your GCMS notes would show that the application is stuck at CPC-Sydney RC-8090, if yes can't do anything other than just waiting.
