Hi All - I am a little frustrated with the processing times. I check my emails and status daily, but I cannot see any updates on the application after July 21 2022 when all the checks were marked 'Complete'. I have friends who wrote the test 4 months after I did and have already gone through their oath-taking ceremony. I called the helpline 2 weeks ago only for them to let me know that I will hear from the processing office when I do. My timeline is included below:

Timeline:
Submitted - Sep 9 2021
AOR- Nov 25 2021
Test update- Feb 18 2022
Background Check- Jan 12 2022
Test complete- Mar 5 2022
Physical Presence, Prohibitions, Language- Jul 21 2022

Thank you so much. I do not know the office that is processing the application, though. Would that be the email that invited me to write the test within a specified period of days?

@HVAC_Controls How did you get to know that your processing office is Scarborough? Did you get fingerprint request?
I knew from the email invitation for the test. It had SCR as part of the email. Yes, I got fingerprint request and I sent it to Vancouver office. That's why I asked about your fingerprint

Thanks for sharing your experience. Our situation is similar. Only difference is that they request your fingerprint but they didn’t mine. Did you inquire IRCC that where is your file now?

I have to ask about that. It seems that it might change at some point. I don't know if this is something related to deep security check. I heard it happens sometimes in the citizenship apllication process and they select random files to go for that long process of security check.

Congrats! As per IRCC website, they will send us the Oath instructions 1-2 weeks prior to the scheduled oath date. If you don't receive an instructions email by October 18, contact IRCC right away to ensure you don't miss the appointment for oath.
