2023 Citizenship Applications

[LuckyAngelSweety]

Who give you the 3 years timeline?

I kind of read somewhere online I believe. Don't have a reference though. But looking at the comments here seems like it may even take longer.

Any update ?

No update I am still waiting for background and probation Nov 2023
I am also waiting for second fingerprint request I know I will get it as my last one expired Dec 2024 and I have not got anything yet. Rest of the sections are complete

The last movement we saw was for Jun/Jul 2023 AOR applicants.

Unfortunately, nothing for Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec 2023 yet. We need to wait more.

Hello all patient peeps out here
Here is my brief timeline:

• Nov 2023 - Application Date
• Dec 2023 - AOR Date
• Feb 2024 - Fingerprints Submitted
• Feb 2024 - Citizenship Test Taken
• July 2024 - GCMS Notes revealed hat “Criminality Clearance” was passed, and status for “Prohibitions” was still “Not yet started”.
• Nov 2024 - “Language” and “Physical Presence” status updated to “Completed” on online application tracker
• March 02, 2025 - GCMS Notes requested (for 2nd time) through ATIP
• March 07, 2025 - Received fingerprints request for 2nd time
• April 04, 2025 - Received GCMS Notes applied on March 02, 2025; it revealed that “Criminality Clearance” status changed back to “In Progress” with due date stated as “2025/05/17”; “Prohibitions” status updated to “In Progress” with due date stated as “2025/02/14” (which was already surpassed at that time)
• April 24, 2025 - Ghost Update on the online application tracker.
• AS OF JULY 17, 2025 - Background Verification” and “Prohibitions” still is “In Progress” in the online application tracker, rest everything is complete.

What I can conclude from my GCMS notes is that my file is being transferred between officers (or offices) and "Criminality Clearance" is being redone.
I also reached out to MP office for trying to get a status update. Though they were pretty quick with their response, what they did was call up IRCC and were told the same thing that was told to me earlier - that Vancouver office received my fingerprints already in April 2025, my application is non-routine and there is no processing time for it.

Anyone facing similar situation or have any suggestions on what can be done next, besides just waiting?
