    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    So I received my GCMS notes late last night (took about three weeks from request) and my primary office is Sydney and secondary is Scarborough. That is not great news is it? Seems to be the two slowest offices based on what I've seen on this thread. Nothing out of the ordinary on the rest of the...

    Great, thanks so much!

    How long does it take to get the GCMS notes in general? Their own form made it sound like the turn around was pretty quick.

    For those of you who mention a "ghost update" does that show in your IRCC tracker, or only on the GCMS notes?

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Looking at people's history, it appears about a week or two.

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    No, very generic answers, they can't tell you much about the status of your file. They confirmed that they weren't waiting on anything from me and that it was still well within their "normal processing window."

    I got through at 3:30 the other day, often find calling right before a place closes (4pm for them) tends to be less busy.

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    No minors for me, but we applied as a married couple. We applied online, which I've heard can take longer to process sometimes? I just called them to see if I could get any information and they say they have such a high volume of calls that it just kicked me out of the system and said I can try...

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    I am in the same boat as you, and should have an 'easy' file (we've lived/worked here as PRs straight through 10 years with only brief trips for visits to family).

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Those of you who say you've called, who do you call? I'm trying to figure out when we might get our invitation to the oath because now I'm worried it is going to interrupt holiday travel plans, our file seems to be lagging behind others here and I am curious as to why.

    PRC (Permanent Resident Card) Renewal Timeline 2019

    Sorry, was travelling with it! I did indeed get my PR card quite suddenly. There was no updates on the online status until after the fact. They mailed it Friday, Feb 14 and I received it in the mail Tuesday, Feb 18! So it arrived in Toronto two business days after they mailed it standard mail...

    PRC (Permanent Resident Card) Renewal Timeline 2019

    Thanks. The status moved to "Decision Made" today, but no indication what decision was made yet. I know two weeks is not long in total, but most people that had approved cards in this forum seemed to move from "processing" to "decision made" very quickly, if not in the same day. So I wanted a...

    PRC (Permanent Resident Card) Renewal Timeline 2019

    My card is still processing, almost two weeks now since it moved to "processing" status. I am hoping that maybe someone just forgot to update the status and it will show up suddenly, as it was a very straightforward application (I have lived and worked full-time in Canada for over a decade...

    PRC (Permanent Resident Card) Renewal Timeline 2019

    Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better, perhaps they are still a little backlogged from the holidays.

    PRC (Permanent Resident Card) Renewal Timeline 2019

    For most people, does a hang up in the "Processing" stage mean that there is a problem with the application? It seems that most people here who had a successful renewal went from "Processing" to "Decision Made" the same day. This is my timeline: January 20: Received January 31: AoR/Processing...

    FBI Check Out of Date

    Thank you both very much for your responses. Karla2011, did you apply under the Canadian Experience Class? My only concern has been that rules are different for different classes (most who have said they sent in their FBI forms later were applying for the Federal Skilled Worker program). It does...

    FBI Check Out of Date

    I would assume that many people are in the same boat as we are as a result of the language testing changes. We were literally sending in our application the day that the law changed (I checked the website one last time to make sure I had everything, it was June 26th). With the language testing...
