my experiences calling them have not been fruitful - you will be provided the same exact status that you see online and be given the response that the official processing time is 23 months.

Exactly ! I do not grudge the folks getting approved in 6 months but the maintaining this cloak of 'secrecy' in the process is just an excuse to hide incompetence. The manner in which the paper applications are still processed faster than online is one of the other ridiculous manifestations of this.

The entire system is erratic and like the wild wild west - there is no transparency, no accountability, no consistency, no means of support and the govt enjoys interest free loans on $650 grabbed from everyone for 2 years without providing any semblance of a decent service or SLA. I hope some of...

Same here- Niagara with no updates since the system wide one on Mar 2. LPP is In Progress.

Fingers crossed - it appears that our little group might all be on the same Zoom call some day in the near future :)

Same here. Test status moved to Complete !

It moved to In Progress today. The Waiting on you message went away - kinda shocked, NGF is on a roll, it seems ! Hoping for it to move to Completed soon ....fingers crossed. I see others from NGF getting test invites as well - let the momentum continue !

add me to the waitlist too - test done with Niagara , looking forward to seeing how long the validation takes

Agreed - I stuck to paper this time given the horrendous experience with the online Citizenship app delays - surprisingly PR renewal via paper took all of 7 days

The 'good' news on that front is that PR renewal is pretty quick - it only took me 7 days to get my new card

Also online applicants from Waterloo - I called IRCC to confirm my office being Niagara Falls

Not yet, but I hear it comes in a day or two prior ?

Finally some progress after an excruciating 3 month wait post BG Application type: Online Location: Waterloo, ON Physical presence: 1223 days Application: Single Application sent: Mar 13, 2022 Application received: Mar 13, 2022 AOR : Apr 7, 2022 Background Check Completed: Oct 25, 2022 Test...

I don't disagree with that conjecture - there is something definitely intentional and sketchy going on here where the bureaucrats are gaming this to get favorable numbers for the next fiscal. In addition, Mississauga and Scar voters ultimately have a final say in who 'governs' in Ottawa so the...

no updates - it is incredibly frustrating for Niagara Falls applications like mine to see Aug and Sep folks from other areas already lining up for oaths

It is a shame and they are able to get away with it because they know that citizenship applicants have nowhere else to go but to wait out patiently, no recourse to an ombudsman or the legal system because they have put a large, arbitrary service time of 24 months to protect themselves. It is...

I have received the reason from UPS folks managing Sydney - the facility in Sydney was badly damaged in the recent hurricane in Sep so IRCC has moved to this other building in New Waterford - UPS and others are well aware and there is nothing for you to worry about as an applicant

Appalling! Hope some of us in the future go into leadership roles at these agencies and work towards making some much needed changes , keeping the future citizens of this country in mind and actually give them a welcoming experience

Your file is likely languishing with Niagara Falls - did you check with IRCC where it is ?

Bureaucrats are experts at coming up with a million excuses but the bottom line is that this behavior is a total and complete disregard and disrespect to law abiding applicants who have put in a lot of work to get to be able to apply for citizenship and follow all rules to get there - the fact...
