I am still stuck in BG.. The weird thing is that we applied as a family (me, wife and two kids), and they got today their OATH ceremony invitation. I called IRCC and they say that this is normal if one application can take longer... I guess I am in the Security clearance check, as did not receive any FP request. Which is the difference between Security clearance and Criminality?
What's the number to call IRCC?

I am in a similar situation. FP received by IRCC 1 month ago, background still in progress and this got me concerned. Everything else in progress except citizenship test completed and oath not started. I am a June/2023 applicant. I am just wondering what could cause this type of situation. Just want to get more insights from you guys if you would like to provide some information like I provide for myself below:

1. Travel history: no extensive travel. Just one trip outside canada during my eligibility period.
2. Immigration status: I came to Canada as a PR directly. No other status in canada before that.
3. Employment history: I have been working full time since I arrived in canada. One of the largest companies in my field of work. Easily verifiable if it comes to that.
4. Other information. I moved 4 different cities due to my onsite work assignments during my eligibility period and have many different addresses. ( I wonder if this caused longer background verification time). I had to provide about 11 different addresses.

I combed through all the similar cases that have already received their citizenship, normally it takes about 8-10 months for background and lpp to complete after fingerprint verification. Few cases are pending more than that.

I'm concerned because I did not get a FP request... which is weird.
