15 days before the ceremony as it was an in person ceremony.

I want to extend a huge thank you to this forum. It's been a great information resource and a great place to vent. My saga has finally come to its last chapter. Application processing centre: Scarborough Physical Days: 1,100 Method: Online Applicants: Single Application sent: March 20, 2022...

I received my notice by email for an in-person ceremony in Scarborough on March 3rd. I am a bit surprised that it's not virtual but oh well!

The people processing the COPR make mistakes. A friend of mine was listed as widowed despite never having married. When applying for citizenship, he attached a letter of explanation that explained that he had never been married much less lost a wife. He got his application processed with no issues.

OMG! That’s quite lucky of you. Which processing centre was this?

I got an update today at last; glad some progress is being made. Application processing centre: Scarborough Physical Days: 1,100 Method: Online Applicants: Single Application sent: March 20, 2022 Delivered: March 20, 2022 AOR: April 19, 2022 In Progress: April 25, 2022 BG Verification...

Based on the google sheet, it appears that Scarborough applicants for the most part have not received updates since. Other processing centres such as Vancouver are moving at much faster speeds

You need to file a Writ of Mandamus because that is double their normal standard timeframe.

It is by invitation only for people who applied prior to 2023, and the invitation to participate in this new program is sent when they send you your test invite. In summary, if you haven't received the email to participate in the program, you can't voluntarily opt for it and will be issued the...

Have you tried asking the federal authorities? https://icp.gov.ae/en/contact-us/

Depends on what you consider "beneficial" Many people complete the whole process without worrying about their processing office. While others use the processing office to gauge the processing speed. For example, for a long while, the Niagara office was very fast, and then IRCC started sending...

They respond by saying that they are aware of the glitch and are working on fixing it. I don't know why I was hoping for a more helpful response, but as per IRCC tradition, they keep it vague with no timeline of when it should be all sorted and fixed.

Day 3, and they still haven't resolved the issues with their online tracker. They took away the status updates and will return it back as an "Xmas gift". :p It doesn't mean any actual progress will be made as a lot of the staff will be on holiday and most actual work on the files will only...

it’s a massive glitch. I have the exact same error in mine. It’s impacting a lot of people. Yesterday was worse as the tracker only had AOR. Hopefully they sort it tomorrow.

Checking constantly doesn't help one bit. In my opinion, it's better to just hope and pray that the IRCC agent assigned to your case doesn't decide to resign or get fired as the IRCC will happily let the case languish for years without taking any action. The CBC did a pretty good article on it...

Go on this website and call your local MP's constituency office (not the Ottawa office) - https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en Your local MP's constituency office can contact the IRCC via a hotline and get a better assessment of what is going on with your application. Make sure you ask them...

By the email address that you received for the test. Mine had the letters SCR which is for Scarborough.

It defies logic. Both the physical presence and language should take a second to look at and approve. It should be done at the earlier stages because it would be nonsensical to have someone pass everything else and get denied over those two aspects at the final stages.

Thanks so much. Just like you predicted, I got the notice 48 hours before the test start date.
