    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Amidst the excitement, it is instructive to remind folks that unlike with temporary residents/PR applications, a ghost update on citizenship applications (going by reading this subforum) doesn't always - in fact almost never - indicate impending status update in processing items. This subforum...

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    People from October 2022 up to June 2023 got that update. Not sure every single applicant within that period but a lot of them posted on this forum. It was later decided to be a system glitch. In this case, I haven't seen more than a couple people in other threads get GU - Most too are expected...

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    I guess if you keep repeating it long enough it might turn out to be true. You can only conclude with any level of certainty if ALL December 2023 applicants got it. As it is, only yourself and a few others have reported the update, and while the case centers may tell you there's no update...

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Ordered by AOR dates, that a list of posters with GU updates today. Dont appear to be any commonality outside a few Western Canada applicants - although hard to draw any conclusions without knowing other aspects of individual applications. I suppose we know its not just applicants with Finger...

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Okay, maybe it was actually a glitch :( Too many people with varying timelines have reported it. Interestingly only on this thread so maybe a 'good glitch'. Let's wait for the next few days to see what's changing in those applications.

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Don't want to get too excited but everyone on this thread who got a GU applied between December 5th - 8th, please correct me if I'm wrong. That's as big an indication of it likely being meaningful as any. Maybe one of them could call in today to see what it was. At least I've convinced...

    It's less about the number of people who have received that update but the fact that almost no (or in very rare cases) December applicants have received BG completed updates this month. So, whatever offices/partners completing that step are definitely currently operational. :rolleyes:

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    My heart breaks whenever I see a January/February 2024 applicant get their Background Check completed in March. I literally feel the hurt.

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Nice of you to totally ignore the 'within' right before the 12 months. That adds a whole lot of context which going by anecdotal evidence (trackers/self reports on this and other websites), suggests that most applications since late 2022 have been processed in a fraction (specifically half) of...

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Could be that they are working on clearing some of their backlogs as someone alluded to earlier from speaking to a service rep. I was looking at their data this morning and they had just met their <=20% backlog target in November 2023, and that number has continued to fall since - data as of...

    Congratulations @hemeda2 very happy to see you have received an updated. Hope you get to travel home and see your dad.

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    What I've been trying to say. That alone moves their applications further along than ours too since LPP can be completed together once background is done.

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Now if only some other offices will complete LPP while background check waits. But beggers cannot be choosers.

    IRCC Scarborough Applicants - Online Test/Interview/DM/Oath

    @SAU443 Nothing wrong with your application progress. No December applications have had background check completed in the last 2/3 weeks. I'd believe the feedback from them, but for peace of mind you can call the call center. But to your point about application progress, nothing to do with you...

    Indeed. That's why I haven't tended to my seeds this whole week. Hope you are staying strong? We'll get there soon enough!

    - I come here - See people who applied weeks before me haven't posted updates - specifically BG checks in March by December applicants. - Whine when I have the energy to, OR - Close website and get on with my life I don't even bother with tracker updates anymore. No point.

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Why would you wanna do that? Especially without knowing what parameters impacts how quickly your next application will be processed besides luck of the draw? I moan here a bit but I'm hoping people aren't getting desperate.

    Vancouver/Calgary (doesn't matter either way) office here and apparently a lot of us December applicants are stuck there as well. My criminality (one half of the BG check process) is 'complete', just now waiting for security, which can take a long, long time to come in, all through no fault of...

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    For your sake, and that of others who may not know. Your tracker will usually update (not ghost updates) with new items two days after they have been added. So, any updates you see today would have been from Sunday - jokes on you if you thought IRCC staff worked on that day. Thus, Wednesday...
