    September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    Thank you for the response. I was looking at the below post (OP perpetual wait) and was thinking that maybe before a test invite is issued the officer reviews the file in detail and sends the invite. Once the test is completed, if they want to verify something they do that through...

    September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    Thank you for sharing, this is helpful. Based on your understanding is it correct to assume that if the new tracker shows as Background completed than both security and criminality are likely complete? Also when do they look at eligibility even a basic check to see if app is good to go? Seems...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    A few polls have come out which indicate that the Liberals are doing well and whenever the election is called they have a good chance of gaining majority. If we really want to have an impact we need to engage the media and the MPs indicating that COVID excuse cannot be used and right now this...

    Online citizenship test completed, waiting for next steps

    Congrats and goodluck! When was your AOR and how long did it take to get the interview email after test completion? Also if it is a family application is the interview only for one individual or for all adults in the application? I think it is a fairly simple conversation with general...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    Unfortunately there is a lot of abuse by individuals around residency requirements with some individuals only interest in procuring a "passport of convenience". Makes the overall process inefficient and delayed for all of us who love Canada and are making this place as our permanent home. I know...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    While this is all discouraging news, there was nothing else to expect from this government. Pure and plain incompetence and corruption. Countless examples of this incompetence and corruption with the WE scandal and the current delays in the vaccination drive and vaccination contracts prime...

    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    Thanks for sharing the info. Did the agent indicate that for an average routine application how long these checks take before the file is transferred to local office?

    September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    @rajkamalmohanram I understand that criminality check is valid for 1 year only. I read somewhere on the forum that an individual contacted the call center (couldn't locate the post) and was told that they are now transferring files after completing the background checks. If that is the case...

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2020

    We had 4 cards mailed out on Jan 27th (status update is 27th for all of them). Three were received today. Should I be concerned on the fourth one being lost or hopefully I should be getting it this week? Just concerned that all four were mailed on same date but why only 3 received today. Curios...

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2020

    It is normal. As of this last week individuals delivered around Nov 12th were getting AORs. With keeping that in mind you should get an acknowledgment over the next two weeks.

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    Looks like its official now, IRCC has updated the citizenship status and the 12 months standard does not hold anymore. Please check out the 12 month box on the right on the page on the link below on IRCC website. They have indicated the 12 months was before COVID and they have limited capacity...

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2020

    Looking at several individual posts on the forum who have called IRCC, it seems that for a straight forward case decision made is that the file is in card production queue. That being said I have not seen any recent updates of anyone receiving their cards in January. I suspect some delay due to...

    September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    Yes fingers crossed. I do wonder if the 12 months processing time or somewhere around there still holds. They are updating the timelines for PR card processing based on actual time. Considering the 12 month is likely not a correct reflection, wonder when they would update this, or will just...

    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    Looks like June people are getting "in process". Excluding IRCC randomness, July should start seeing some activity in January. Very weird if it happens though when we know that a significant number from July are still waiting for AORs.

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2020

    Did you provide mailing address for the two cards in your PR applications or you didn't include it and they randomly sent it to the mailing address due to a previous application in the system? If this is the case it is very scary. You would hope IRCC follows what is provided in the PR...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    Interesting quote from above link included below. Looks like citizenship apps for 50 -54 starting jan 2021 can be submitted electronically? Not sure if the age range makes sense. Is this an error? "The minister also promised that citizenship applications between the ages of 50 and 54 will be...

    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    I do agree it is frustrating and inefficient especially all the uncertainty if you have moved and not sure if the application would be returned. I would say this though looking at the trend that getting AOR 3 months or 6 months after submission should not change when your application goes into...

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    Apparently something to do with their queuing and how agents work. This was seen early in the year also as processing moved forward. It looks like 50% for 3-4 months are processed and then they go back to complete the month. If you look at the tracker dates for AORs you will see that for Apr...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    It means nothing until people actually waiting are scheduled for this regularly and are moving through Oaths. The timing of this CBC report is very interesting indeed. That being said, I suggest sitting quietly after this announcement is not going to change much. As many of you have noted...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    The child is a refugee. I am sure that most of us can't even imagine what she has gone through and the difficulties as a family they are facing (not to discount the challenges all of us are also facing in our own ways). I admire the determination and her focus on the goal. Watching the video...
