    Anyone here waiting on oath? How long after the required steps were all marked complete before your oath date was set in the tracker? All of my required steps were complete in the tracker July 11th but the oath still shows not started.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if the IRCC/CBSA systems available to the agents at the border were more informative? It seems crazy that they are as confused and uninformed as the rest of us.

    Last week I made a trip to the US. I have a citizenship application in process since March 2022. Because my PR card will be expiring in a few months I also applied for PR cars renewal in May 2023 it is also in process. On Monday Aug 7, 2023 I was driving into Canada at the Sarnia crossing and I...

    I phoned the IRCC today July 26th to inquire the status of my application. All required steps prior to decision are marked complete. The call center agent said everything looked good and I should recieve something soon. When I pressed when soon would be like a week, a month or several months he...

    Congrats hopefully mine will update soon as we seem to be very similar. Niagara is notoriously slow. I got a ghost update yesterday but nothing changed.

    I say it because I’ve seen screen shots of others age exempt that say “waived”

    I am in the same position. I reached the same point after my BG was complete for the second time on July 13. My processing office is Niagara AOR March 2022. I don’t know why they couldn’t just mark Language and Test waived or not applicable. It would go a long way to give some confidence we...

    My March 2022 AOR finally today shows complete for all required steps. I'm language and test exempt as I'm over 54. Language shows 'In progress' and Test shows 'Not started' how long will it be for them to realize that and make a decision and issue an invitation for oath? Does anyone have...

    The tracker has a date Application Filed. That is the AOR date. the 19 months is from the AOR date to decision made. It does not include the period from DM to oath.

    I received the same when I applied in October 2021, I was told to reapply I did so in Jan 2022, then I received the same message. I then reapplied in March 2022. I requested my travel records from the CBSA via a privacy request for the entire time concerned. I provided both my US passport and PR...

    For those over 55 that received the oath invitation, filed on line and tracked progress via the on line tracker. DId the status for language and citizenship test ever change from In Progress and Not Started? Since you are exempt from both it really should say Not Applicable.

    Anyone who has had their BG turn from Complete back to In Progress could you let me know how long you had to wait for it to turn back to Complete? I know it is because it has been over a year. Also did they request you do fingerprints the second time if so how long did you have to wait for the...

    My BG has shown complete since May 2022 then this week it went back to in process on Monday back to complete on Wednesday then back to in process today. Do they know what they are doing? When does complete mean complete? Very frustrating.

    Here is an article that discuses use of AI by the IRCC. There is nothing here that tells me that there is any attention paid to processing in a FIFO order. It seems their goal is to process the most apps with the least effort without any regard to the unfairness that may result when fully...
