    I am happy for you. It won't be long before your Citizenship journey comes to an end. And I hope the same for all of us on the same journey as well.

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I really feel like we are at the finish line for the December cohort. We've waited this long so a few more weeks won't kill us. I strongly feel most of December applicants will be done with the oath before the end of February as that marks our 13 months. And if not, worsr case, we have the...

    Well that shouldn't be the case for me as my LPP needs to be marked complete first before they can transfer to the local Mississauga office for setting up the oath. My experience has been different...all ghost updates for me have resulted in an activity, including the March one which was...

    So this isn't a ghost update but an actual update that you've been asked to attend an interview. Ghost updates just show a change in the last updated date with no real changes to the application activities. Don't stress about the interview. It is usually straightforward. Take your documents...

    I got a ghost update today, Jan 7. My last update was March 8. Let's see if there is an actual update in the next few days on the LPP. Also someone asked me if my GCMS notes had any insight. And the answer is no. There are no redacted or notes of concern. I also see that my file was assigned 2x...

    I appreciate all the different perspectives and they do make sense. However, for some of us that have everything ready to be reviewed since March, we seem to be stuck because of low staffing levels. My case is routine but because I have been a PR for a very long time, and with some years in/out...

    A few of us have had background and criminality checks both completed since March and our file was even assigned to an officer to finalize but we are still waiting. There seems to be a deliberate effort to slow down immigration processing. For a majority of us, the 13 months deadline of the...

    I'm right there with you. But think of it this way... We've waited this long and it hasn't negatively impacted our lives, so we will be fine. Having waited this long means we are almost done. Seems like processing times have slowed down across the board for many immigration applications and...

    Hi - what is the CELPIP number?

    That's odd. Why don't the notes reflect what has actually been passed? That is ridiculous. We can't even trust the notes lol

    Big time. I guess if the processing time is 13 months, there's no urgency in checking the application status. LOL

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    It's most likely just the assigned officer not getting to our applications just yet. If they had worked on it but havent approved, we would have heard in some way. For example, ghoar updates, addiotonal info request or an interview request. They seem to be stretched thin. And those of us not...

    Are you sure BG isn't completed and you're in grant review ready status? I've never heard that. Applications are typically only eligible for the grant review status after both security and criminality have passed.

    I believe she still has to come back. I don't think they allow people to attend virtual ceremonies from overseas. That would actually be a red flag. In addition, it would be suspect if she was to apply for her first passport from overseas. My advice: she should return and stay in Canada until...

    We are still within the processing timeline but if you want help, contacting your MP might get you more info. You can also request GCMS notes from CBSA and not IRCC. CBSA tends to redacte less notes so you will be able to see more. However, with an AOR of Dec 1, your wife's file may be non...

    Yes, unfortunately, this means your background or security check hasnt finalized yet, so your application is not ready for the grant review process.
