September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[happysheep]

Just an FYI who is trying any of these things currently...

1. Order GCMS Notes using Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Online Request

*I've sent 3 ATIP requests - August, September, October. None have ever resulted in anything other than a form email. I've emailed the ATIP email help line and they never responded (it's been 65 days since that email)

2. Write to your MP and ask them to inquire with IRCC citing unreasonable delay

*No comment/have not tried yet

3. Send a Webform request to inquire about your application

*I've sent 3 webform requests - August, September, October. None have ever resulted in any response.

4. Call IRCC on their toll free number (least effective method, but worth a try)

*I've tried calling 2 times. Both times they refused to answer any questions, look up your application or discuss anything for anyone who isn't in danger or approved for urgent processing

5. If you know your local office's email address, then email them directly and ask

*I've tried this 1 time with the Mississauga Office. You immediately get a form letter in response but no actual answer.

Consider the above before you waste your time -- looks like IRCC is done even pretending to care about delayed applicants.

I thought I was the only one who never received any reply for ATIP request.
I’ve tried all the ways and get tired.
I wonder how long they’ll let me wait.
I’m a July 2020 single applicant, Montreal office. DM was on July 3, 2021. I’ve been waiting for oath invitation for more than 5 months.

This is ridiculous, on the other hand they are sending out oath invites to 2021 people left right and centre. How do we get them to acknowledge our applications???

Hello All,
I just passed the Citizenship Test. Waiting for next steps. Any idea how long it takes for the score to be official and status change online?

Man I did the test on jul 22, got pp request on 14 sept, sent the same day, WAITING SINCE THEN! I'm pissed! I my file was handed to the most incompentent agent at IRCC I'm sure!

That's rough. Seems to be no priority process at all.

Hi @elgaaato, same situation as yours. Did test on July 24, received passport pages request on September 23 and emailed them to the Montreal office on the same day and since then, nothing. It's inexplicable why this takes so long.

I did my test on jul 19th and nothing after that. Not even passport pages request. This wait is just so painful!
