September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[Bains87]

No, I haven’t received a new fingerprint request yet, my background verification was set to In progress from complete, so I’m assuming they will send me a new FP request at some point (god knows when!) so my question was if the Vancouver office sends the 2nd FP request, does the address on the letter state a Vancouver address where the RCMP report needs to be sent or is it the same CPC SYDNEY address (that’s where I sent my first FP’s report as started on the request letter).

When I received my second FP it was sent to CPC Sydney although my office is Surrey apparently, not sure if they really need it or this is just a way to make money, same as most of the ICBC driving test centers are known to fail you on your first attempt, its all part of the money I guess

That statement is not correct brother.. Early 2020 applicants like me are waiting for oath since the last 6-7 months.. so .. anything after July or Sep -2020 or so are getting the best treatment with their applications getting done sooner than others.

I guess soon 2020 applicants will have the same fate as 2018/19 applicants because as applications start piling up from late 2021 & 2022, they will rush to clear those first, so pray and pray as hard as you can that you get your thing sorted out before this Ukraine crisis blows up , apparently our minister has already decided to open a dedicated line to support the influx and there is a call of opening refugees lines for fleeing Ukrainian citizens

Would you know when your security check was going to expire?

I would not have any idea about that. I was requested, and thus sent my Fingerprints back in July 2021 though.
However, my wife's Background Check was completed in March 2021.

Hi Everyone,
I received my notes today and noticed that on 7th Feb, CIC requested an ICES. Any idea as to what does this mean? Thanks

Assuming you must already know what it is, but just for completion ICES is International Credential Evaluation Service.

Looks like it must be related to the Language Skills processing, unless someone with similar experience knows better.

Thanks. I also suspected that it will be related to language skills.

Yeah the process is slow especially if you're requested for fingerprints. I hope you receive your test invite soon. All the best!

My last update was on 5th Nov, background check is completed. Citizenship tested was completed in September, the rest is still In progress. It is been almost 4 months with no updates. Montreal office.

The questions of "when can I expect..." cannot be answered by anyone. The timelines vary greatly. Check the spreadsheet to see overall processing times and the timelines of people who got DM around the same date as you did.

Good luck.
