Received a letter for additional materials request from IRCC Vancouver this afternoon. Asking for my US CBP Entry / Exit History. Sent over already and fingers crossed!

Busy day today. After sending over the requested materials, an interview invite was received through email. It will be a virtual interview. Question: is it required to be physically in Canada for the virtual interview?

I got it as well. Better to be in Canada I think even tho its not specified in the invite.

Hi everyone,

I applied for Canadian citizenship in August 2025 and received my AOR in October 2025. My background verification was completed shortly after AOR, but I still have not received a citizenship test invitation.

According to my GCMS notes, my file was referred to PS-RES (Program Support – Residence Review) for a physical presence review. Since then, there has been very little movement on my application.

Current status:

• Application submitted: August 2025
• AOR: October 2025
• Background verification: Completed
• Citizenship test: Not started
• Physical Presence: In progress
• Language: In progress
• Prohibitions: In progress

It has now been about 8 months since AOR, and I am seeing many applicants from the same period who have already completed their tests or even received oath invitations.

Has anyone else had a PS-RES referral and experienced a long wait for a test invitation?

If so:

• How long did it take before you received your test invite?
• Did IRCC request any additional documents?
• Are there any August–October 2025 applicants still waiting for a test?

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar timeline. Thank you.

Wow, that is so long! Did you try calling them? What did they say?
