@rushi.gada I applied for my son on january 9th. I got 1st AOR and tracker update on matrch 2nd , But after that no updates.

Do you know if anyone else in same boat please ?
Hey .. Mississauga offices are kinda slow, so I'm sure there are others in the same boat on this forum. Have you tried calling the IRCC call center? Get an update from them and also order your GCMS notes. Hopefully things start to roll in the next few weeks for us Mississauga applicants. Don't worry, this is nothing out of the usual.

Hello All!

I moved to a new address on June 1st. I understand that I have to update this with IRCC. I also work from home from my own corporation, which was listed as my previous home address. I will be changing the corporation address to my present home address. Should I update this with IRCC as well? My background check is still not complete.

Personally, I would update IRCC on your personal address only. If you had worked for a company and the company changed addresses you wouldn’t update them, so I don’t think it’s necessary to update them on your corporation address unless they ask you for interview due to being self employed.
Just my two cents, this is not advice :)

Couple more questions!

- My application has been In Process from Feb 26. I've give the Test, it has been updated. I've given my fingerprints, yet to be updated.
My background check is still not complete. Is this normal?

- I sent my fingerprints on May 23, it's not updated on Tracker. Approx when should it be updated? Of not, who should be getting in touch with?

no one. That’s the short answer.

You applied in January of this year. Your application is well within the posted processing times on IRCC website.

Hello All,

I have a question about the background check process for citizenship. My fingerprints results was received by IRCC on March 22nd, but it's been a while, and my background check is still in progress. Should I be concerned about this delay? I've heard that background checks are typically completed within a week. Can anyone share their experiences or insights regarding this matter.

Hi all. Waiting for LPP to be completed. I sent in my IELTS certificate as proof of language with my paper application. I am unsure if it would be better if i had sent my degree instead. Any insights if i can still send my degree or leave it to the IELTS.

Within a week?! Within a week of what? Submitting application? AOR? Submitting FP?

Within a week of Fingerprint received by IRCC. This is the last update I see on my tracker "We received your fingerprint information on March 22, 2023 and will review them shortly. Thank you!" No progress since then.
