There is no excuse for what they are doing to us. Numerous news channels have already reported about this issue.

I have already seen tons of 2021 applicants say that they are finished the process. Just saw one in a facebook group today, who applied in July 2021 and they have their citizenship and passport in hand.

This is very ridiculous. I'm an Aug 2019 applicant.

There needs to be some accountability here. How can IRCC justify completing 2021 applications , when 2020, 2019, 2018 are still waiting.

Why can't they just put a pause on accepting new applications. Its sad hurtful and a slap in the face for us 2019 applicant. Everyday I check my status for updates and nothing.

Previous projections assumed that IRCC took 2 weeks to process 1 week worth of applications received. Since I started monitoring, it appears that it is more like 3 weeks to process 1 week worth of applications. It also appears that the average time taken is 2.3 years (based on the data so far) will continue to monitor.

QUESTION: Would you rather hear from IRCC requesting additional documents or not hear anything over an extended period under the assumption that ur application is being processed?

I’ve been trying to call for 2 months. Every day monday to friday 8am to 4pm. I call every 30 mins and its always the same message “ theres a high volume of calls and we cannot connect your call, please try again another time” and it hangs up. Its not possible not to be able to go into the hold queue for over 2 months. It means nobody is answering the phones at all. I even call the second they are supposed to be open. Nothing. Ive tried webform 2-3 times and its always just a cut and paste response they give which doesnt apply to my case. Ridiculous.
I agree. Waiting 3 months so far just to probably get an invalid test. I did everything as instructed, photo of id. Photo of myself. Clicked allow webcam etc. I read somewhere on here that its hit or miss and many people have to redo it for no reason. Their software or backend programming is horrible.
Waiting since 2019 and no progress. Sorry for the long message , just so frustrated and losing hope.

Hi there, I have a tip.

Try to have different phones ready. Call IRCC using the first phone, once you hear "sorry due to high volume" , that phone is already on blacklist for the day.

Then, use another phone and try again. If it happened on the second phone, try the third phone.

Repeat and repeat.

It happened to me a few times, my first phone was blocked for the day, then I used a second phone to call at the same time, and the 2nd phone got through and I was able to talk to a Very helpful IRCC agent.

Thanks for the tip. What number did you call?

What can the agents tell us? Will they be able to answer when to expect oath? I mean is it worth spending time and effort only to hear that my application is in process.

I HOPE THIS IS WRONG!!!! So far it's on track based on the current IRCC updates found here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html

I've quoted this earlier somewhere. Mississauga office claimed (in an oath ceremony yesterday) that they are processing more than 300 oaths every day of the week. This means like 8000 oaths every month and the total Canada backlog is 60000 according to the news release. Something doesn't add up. Either Mississauga is making up more than half of all Canada backlog or someone is lying. The problem is no one can call them out. They could have said only 10000 backlog and no one will be able to verify that.
What has your experience via the MP been? Did you get an answer? Did you consider mandamus?
