One of the lucky ones. 2019 and waiting...

#2019CitizenshipApplicantsMatter
From Mississauga office finally in Vancouver office.
I'm part of backlog from 2019.
Yesterday I got an email requesting AGAIN fingerprints due to the fact the ones on file are expired.
Sent today fingerprints thru RCMP $62cad.

Let see how it goes....

Sounds really frustrating, can't imagine the level of frustration of 2019 applicants. I do hope you get traction from them soon.

Have you contacted a MP yet?

That's pretty quick from DM to oath. That's great! Congrats!

Thank you! I was surprised too, I was expecting at least 2-3 months of wait time. I think they are expediting fall 2020 applicants, as I am seeing lots of people getting oath invites.

I feel bad for 2019 applicants., still stuck in limbo
