There's no standard timeline. You can look at the 2020 and 2019 spreadsheets in my signature and derive your inference from that. Some people see those statuses set to "Completed" within a month after the test while some people wait for several months. There is no definite pattern or timeline.
It doesn't show on the spreadsheet but i hope it doesn't take long. I have already been waiting for more than 2 years
Mid - Late 2019 applicants (or 2019 applicants in general) have been an unlucky batch of citizenship applicants. The pandemic hit right when their applications were supposed to be finalized. Very unfortunate.
But I wish you luck, hopefully, you'll see updates soon! All the best!
2 yearrrss man The greater Gods need a great sacrifice from you. Offer them Lays sweet chilli because its limited and lays says "No one can eat just one " Good luck
The individual questions asked in item 16 "Prohibitions" (pdf/paper CIT 0002 (10-2020) version) refer to varying time periods. Some specifically refer to "now," like 16.1. asking whether the applicant is "now" on probation or parole, 16.3 asks where the applicant is "now charged" with an offence. Some refer to a time period of five years, which is concurrent with the eligibility period (see 16.6), another refers to a period of 10 years, while another refers to a period of 4 years.
Item 16.4 asks if the applicant has ever been under a removal order. If the answer to this is yes, whether that was two years ago or twenty, the appropriate answer is "YES" and then the applicant provides a brief description in the box at the end of item 16. Checking "Yes" does not mean the applicant is not eligible. IRCC will review the details and determine whether the referenced event constitutes a present prohibition. It is NOT LIKELY a Removal Order or Departure Order 15 years ago would cause any problem so long as the situation was properly resolved.
They will almost certainly know about it even if the applicant fails to disclose it, that is answers falsely, which of course could make the applicant not eligible. To what extent such an omission would be held against the applicant is difficult to predict, ranging from being deemed a misrepresentation and grounds to deny the application, to being considered a minor oversight merely indicating the applicant cannot be fully trusted to be an accurate reporter of facts.
