August 2023 applicant here.
- By October 2023, I had cleared my citizenship test.
- A whole year went by and didn't have any updates - followed up through the Web form numerous times but no response.
- In November 2024, I contacted my MP and around the same time all of a sudden I got ghost updates showing BG and prohibitions in progress. No update since then.
- Later in December 2024, I contacted the MP again and they said my as per IRCC my file was a "non-routine" file and I just need to wait.
- I contacted IRCC again through Web form and this time - for the first time - I got a response and they said they received my follow up request and rest assured they are working on it. However, no updates on the application.
