Phew!!! I think I got all the updates. Let me know if I'm missing anything!

 

[aba2011]

It is at 3085 Glen Erin Dr., in Mississauga.

Goodluck!

I also had my test and interview on Feb 28th at Scarborough but at the end of interview the officer told me to expect ths oath invitation sometimes around the September. Were you told the same during the interview?

We were there on the same day then!

The officer told me the same thing -- 'You should be invited to your ceremony by September'.

I called CIC 2 weeks ago asking if they had an update on my file or if they knew when the ceremony could potentially happen as I have a trip scheduled for September and will definitely need the passport to return to Canada. They entered my travel dates to my file and I was told that they would only send an invitation before or after the entered trip dates.

I am not sure if that helped somehow putting my file back on top with the travel updates... but I am glad it's happening next month. Should give me enough time to get everything organized and get the passport way before the trip.

Good luck to you as well aba2011. Hoping you get your invite soon too!

Well I got my ATIP notes today (exactly 30 days after requesting them). Nothing major in there (I have received a test invite already). Surprised to see that Knowledge, Residence, Language and Prohibition (??) assessments are "Not Started" although Criminality is "Passed" (I submitted fingerprints). I guess these are completed after the test?

Hi,

Please update my status changed to Decision made on May 10.

 

[navi2235]

I called today, 25 minutes of wait, the lady told the background checks are done, file at Surrey office, please wait as it is in normal time frame.
Do the application with fingerprints conclude in one year time frame? Or exceeds.
Thanks

I thought they would complete it after test. You have taken test before you ordered notes or after?

It depends. Usually the application with FP requests are processed faster. But technically these applications can take longer as they are no longer "normal" cases. IRCC "normal" time frame is one year.

And finally my online status changed to Decision Made. The change happened either today morning or last evening because I checked yesterday afternoon.

Everyone says there is no correlation between GCMS notes and your application progress but I am expecting my GCMS notes today (applied April 13). Coincidence?

Yep. I believe it's coincidence. They have way too many applications to worry about matching the dates of GCMS release with decision making.
