@Raya17 @Mano Ahmed this seems to be rather concerning. Does it mean that if people have traveled outside after applying IRCC is likely to slow down their processing?

Hope you all are doing well. I have a quick question. My test, language and presence has been set to complete, but background check and prohibition are still in progress. I called IRCC and they said background check is done by another agency and they don't control the ETA. Is there something I can do, like web form or something, or just wait? 
Just wait for now.Hope you all are doing well. I have a quick question. My test, language and presence has been set to complete, but background check and prohibition are still in progress.

Request GCMS from CBSA, not IRCC. Then read them. That's the most info you'll get. If there's nothing there, you wait until appropriate to file a writ of mandamus (after 1-1.5 years or so talk to an attorney).Hope you all are doing well. I have a quick question.

Oath date received
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the new passport post oath/e-certificate? Plus if there are any threads out there that outline the entire process for Indians that you can link me too, I would be super greatful. I know there's surrender, e-visa, OCI application etc but it's all somewhat overwhelming!

Back from the trip with my wife to Calgary for her ceremony. Sent off the passport application by mail while we were there (to be delivered to the USA).
Congratulations! I'm happy to hear this. Unfortunately, there's been no progress with my LPP so far.
Today I officially became a Canadian citizen. Thank you all for answering all my questions along the way. Excited to never have to think about ‘LPP’ anymore. Cheers!
Just got the ATIP for my wife's application (not the one from CBSA. I am still waiting on that).
I noticed this one note in her application:
"In response to incoming correspondence received on 2025/05/12, Verifications remain in progress. Application will proceed once all verifications are concluded. Standard processing times do not apply for this application".
Yet when we talk to IRCC they say that our application is routine. We entered Canada from Niagara falls on May 9 and the CBSA officer gave us a rather hard time for being in the USA and asked us questions on how long we intend to work in the USA etc. I wonder if this is what the 'incoming correspondence' is.
Any insights on this? Our LPP is still pending

June 5. The note was added to our application on June 26. But we didn't see any ghost update in the tracker.
Just spoke to IRCC. They said my wife's application is not on hold despite the note. According to the IRCC rep, "Verification means verifying everything in the application".
My application does not have similar notes apparently.
He advised that I could split my application from my wife's application so that it gets processed separately. Else we won't get a decision until both applications have completed processing.
Is this a good idea? Would it have any negative impact (or positive impact) on application processing?
