Congrats! Lucky you . I applied In May 2019 and my status is still In process which was started in september 2019. Haven't got any update ( other than the usual reply ) from them despite contacting them via webform and phone call. I am losing my patience now, it's been almost two years . Is there anyone else in the same boat?
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Yeah Man same boat but may be a month behind. All the excitement is lost for being Canadian citizen.

He submitted the all. but the medical, docs around Dec 15th and the medical the second week of January. He took the test the first week of January. I checked in with him today and he said he hasn’t heard anything. So, he passed the test and is still in the “In Progress” stage.
Thanks buddy for sharing this info. In case you get an update from your colleague, please do share :)

Congrats! Updated the tracker.

Could you tell me a little bit more about this interview, please? Did they state a reason as to why you are being interviewed? So, the whole purpose of the interview is to just verify your passport pages?

I just passed my test, I just want to note one issue I had was taking my photo of my photo ID, I just could not get a clean crisp photo no matter how I tried. I submitted the best version I could but it was tricky. Something to look out for and I'm hoping they don't delay my application because of it. It was also harder to get centered then the actual test lol

EDIT: check your web cam quality first on closeup images just in case, as mine did not take a particularly clear image

Congratulations! Was yours the urgent one? I sent my application at the beginning of March 2020 from Calgary, I don’t even know if I should start studying. I know there is crazy backlog and seems like it’s all about luck... I don’t even know if I will wait till 2022 or more..

I suspect:
1. To verify my identity (I think my driver's license with signature was not stable in the picture at the time of the test) and 2. To verify my travel history (my work required me to travel almost 180 days a year, which I curtailed in the last 2.5 years to meet Citizenship days requirements). I am sure there is nothing wrong in the travel history data I submitted, so I am confident everything will come through, Insha'Allah
