October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[USProgrammer]

just wanted to update this since I got the 2nd set of GCMS-CBSA notes today-02.05.2025
Test marked complete: Jan 27,2025
LPP: April 17,2025
Decision made: April 17,2025

My wife was test complete Feb 18, so I'm hoping she'll get LPP by May 8, based on your timeline.

What was your primary visa office at the top of your GCMS?

No charge through ATIP from IRCC or CBSA for your own GCMS notes. They are for any interaction with the immigration system including citizenship.

May i ask how do you access these and do you have a link. I have only been using the tracker for updates.

Can you walk me through some of the steps there seems to be a lot of options? Are you requesting information under the Privacy Act or Access to Information Act

Lots of step-by-step videos on youtube on how to request GCMS notes

I cannot. Like @YuriBoskiy said, there are plenty of articles and videos in Google if you simply google "how to request GCMS with ATIP" or something like that. I was just being nice by googling the word "ATIP" for you. And, to be honest, everything you need is on that page.

You can see "If you wish to make a request for information about an immigration or citizenship application, please select:
Submit a request for information with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)" right??

You can follow the non-IRCC path for CBSA. I recommend you request from CBSA if you only request one, but you probably should just request GCMS notes from IRCC and CBSA while you're in there. The CBSA ones are less redacted.

Often it's the opposite order. No-one will know the exact timeframe. But it should be fairly quick (week or so?).

Called IRCC today and they confirmed that I am schedule for a Virtual Oath Ceremony on May 21, 2025. However, no email regarding the Oath ceremony and per Citizenship status tracker Oath Ceremony is still "Not started".

These 'not started' things aren't reliable (or just as likely mean something else to IRCC, like when they have sent the invite). Nothing to stress about , it will show up in due course and you'll get the invitation emails, etc.
