Will somebody please be able to update the spreadhseet? We are shown in May since the application was only received by CIC on May. Thank you all in advance

Not a single Brampton applicant got his Test invite yet. What is going on?

CIC received my application on April 23 and had my citizenship exam on Nov 6,2018 in Calgary. I haven't heard anything after that. My gcms notes say passed on everything except security, which only shows my info and type:security clearance. Does this mean it has been completed or it is still pending? With my passport expiring next month, I am not sure should I renew my old passport or wait till the end of April . what do you guys suggest?

I cannot comment on your GCMS note. Technically, you still have till April before pushing them to do anything.
Do you plan to travel any time soon? If not let it expired.
Do you plan on having both passports or just Canadian one? If you want to keep using the original country passport, renew it.

The million dollar puzzle. Not a coincidence.

I’m still on vacation and no test invite yet. In process since June 2018.. Almost a year since I passed my application. I left Canada December 2018 and still away. I am coming back before this month ends. Does leaving canada affect my citizenship application? what do you guys think?

Hi everyone, look what i've got from IRCC yesterday in my e-mail box:
"Starting March 6, you will see a progress bar for your online application. The progress bar shows the time elapsed since we received your application. It will also give you an estimated completion date based on our latest estimated processing times.

We will let you know by e-mail when the progress bar is available for your application."

Although, I am not sure whether it relates to my Citizenship application or Sponsorship application, but this should give more info on where we are in our progress.

Thank you so much for the information. I want to know as I applied as a family applicant with my spouse and kids, so if I apply for GCMS will it contain information for all of us or only me?

I took my oath this morning in Montreal in Doubletree Hotel (downtown). 310 new citizens from 51 countries. The room was very crowded. Finally, I am a Canadian citizen. I am proud of that. Good luck to all of you.

I am not sure whether applying for GCMS notes just for yourself would pull information on the rest members of your family. However I think that you will have a good idea of the state of your [family] application just by looking at your own record.
