    Are you living outside Canada?

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    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

    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...

    Same here. That's why I wasn't going to get excited.

    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.

    Hi - no, tracker still says last updated March 8 LOL It's kinda comical at this point.

    Did you recently request your gcms notes? See if your case has been assigned. IRCC tends to do things in batches. And if you are also PM03 you might be in the same batch as me given your background and security checks passed months ago as well. BTW, I saw the Sept 25 update in my gcms notes and...

    Close-AOR is Jan 6 and yeah last update before the Sept 25 one was March 8. And both the background and security checks were completed/passed Feb 12. For some reason my application wasn't picked up for automated/junior officer processing and went into the PM03 stack which is a more senior...

    Thanks for the encouraging response. I won't hold my breath with IRCC and just remain patient. I know the timeline is now 13 months and per the tracker I still have 3 more months to go lol

    Looks like I may have some movement. What does it mean when an officer has been assigned to the file and an application deadline given? Do they typically need to meet the deadline? "Location: Grant Review Ready PM03 Application Assignment Due date: 2025/10/25 Assigned by: JW6325 Assigned to...

    Sorry for the confusion. I meant on the discussion board. People reporting movement and oath scheduling are from early Dec AOR. We've waited this long, a few more months won't kill us.
