When was the last time your Citizenship Tracker account was updated ?

Mine has not been updated since April 10

I did my Fingerprint over a month ago, and my background status still shows In progress.

Anyone else in the same boat ?

Hi All,

I came to Canada on PR status in 2023 and have not traveled outside Canada to date. Please, can anyone confirm if I still need to submit a police certificate from my country for the citizenship application? Thanks.
