December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[nikunjnagalia]

I hope you ordered from CBSA as they redact less. For example, the IRCC GCMS file, they redacted the security and criminality results but in the CBSA version, it was all there. That's how I know both were completed back in February.

Someone recommended that I asked CSIS as well for their notes. My CBSA came back as no issues, but I have asked CSIS to send me my notes. The issue is that with CSIS, there is no time window for them to process any request from IRCC. They work at their own pace.

Has anyone recently received any ghost updates? how much time does it take to receive a real update after a ghost one?

Question:
Has anyone who selected a virtual ceremony during the application, later instructed to attend an in-person ceremony? Does this happen?

I just checked, and I requested an e-certificate when I filled out my application, but I was offered an in-person ceremony. It is my impression that they will disregard your answer to that question and offer whatever is "more convenient" to them.

Ok, that's good to know. I'm from Newfoundland and here they like to do big group in-person ceremonies. However, these are not very frequent which is why I selected virtual. Just wanted to know if they would add me to the in-person ceremony if it was available.

Is there anyone from Dec AOR who is pending Background and LPP .. all of it pending ?
My only test is passed
Criminality passed
but LPP and Security is pending.

I have seen many people with security pending but at least their Language and physical presence is passed but for me nothing is passed except for test.
I have ordered GCMS Notes and CSIS notes. GCMS Notes shows all of this is pending. and I have not yet received CSIS Notes.
MP Call is also not giving results.


Please let me know if someone else has same status (Background + LPP) Pending

I lived in NL for almost 10 years, so I always check for ceremonies happening there, but they are very scarce these days (https://secure.cic.gc.ca/CeremonyCeremonie/en/Home). Chances are your ceremony is going to be online, but you never know.
