October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

Have you received your GCMS notes

Yeah. Snapshot from Jan 16th. Doesn't show much, except that criminality check is done. Everything else didn't start. I called on Jan 26th, and they told me criminality and security checks both are done. So I guess security was done after GCMS notes were snapped. They said next should be test invite, but don't know how long that would take.

Weirdly so, the due dates for all other checks for me are set for November 2018. A few other forum members reported seeing the same. Hope it doesn't take that long before the next update.

Notes also showed that my physical file is still in transit from Sydney as of Jan 16th.

Did you order your notes too ?

In fact, Ottawa is one of the offices which made fast progress so far. If your case went into process after January 20, you may expect the test invite some time in March or even April. Please note that Ottawa still sends snail mail for test and oath invites, so allow few additional days to receive the notice.

Ottawa applicant. IP received on Jan. 20; still awaiting test invite. Things may be a bit slow but I hope to receive invite soon. Keep the faith.

Information related security checks are considered classified and is stripped off from GCMS notes. If you see a big blank under CLEARANCES - SECURITY section, it most-likely means they have received information from CSIS, and hence security check is done.

BTW, my due dates are similar to yours. They are all end of October 2018, i.e. a little bit earlier than AOR date + 1 year.

Hello all,

I am new to this form and I have a question and I would appreciate your input: (I am applying from Kitchener, Ontario)

From the online Status:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 20, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 24, 2017.
3. We started processing your application on December 15, 2017.

No I have not got anything yet ? did they send you an email notification? I am worried my mail isn't reaching its appropriate destination. Any recommendation?

I checked it in the cic website. You can check your status online. Here is the link.
