I just received my gcms notes. I only see updates on September 2021:
- Criminality clearance: Passed
- RCMP screening: No reportable trace
I do see security clearance, but they have hidden all details on that. Is there a way to know if I'm still in security clearance ? I did go through a longer than usual security clearance when I applied for PR, I'm not sure if they are doing this again..

I do see eligibility prohibition: Completed, whatever that means.. although on some other page it shows "Not started", along with Eligibility - language/knowledge/residence.. All of these are "Not started" and have Due Date: July 2022, which is 1 year from my AOR.

Processing office: Scarborough
Any idea what this means ? Please help!
I emailed my MP and here is what I got, well I emailed them before I got my gcms notes back:
  • The criminality verifications are currently valid.
  • The security verifications are in process.
  • The immigration verifications have not been initiated.
Is it normal not to start immigration verifications until security verification is complete ?

My BG got updated today and was showing completed in the morning but in the evening it went back to "In Progress".
Is it a glitch or something else?

FYI- BG was completed and came with the test invite today.

Wait a few days and see what happened. This could be an indication the Fingerprints will be required from you or that something is still pending from the Criminality or security checks.

I have similar timeline, but Vancouver office (Surrey on GCMS). My background is complete (Jan 20 2022), but Prohibition still in progress.

Hope I will get a test invite soon. paper based here too :(
Surrey looks very slow. Still waiting for DM 5 months after test. Timeline in signature.

Hi,

I checked the online citizenship tracker. There it says that I have been scheduled for the online citizenship test between 28 Feb to 21 March but I have not got any email from the IRCC yet regarding that. Sent a webform query ( not sure when I am going to get a reply) tried calling them but they are too busy even to put me in a waiting queue. Not sure what to do, any suggestions ?

You don't need the email to access the online test, maybe check your spam/junk folder just to make sure you haven't received it. You can access the online test here https://ct-tc.apps.cic.gc.ca/?lang=en There is a step-by-step tutorial where you can get information about the test and steps you will need to follow. Good luck!

Thanks for your prompt response. I thought the same but again on the IRCC page, it says that we should wait for the email invitation before taking the test that's why was not sure if I should proceed to take the test.

This sucks. Hang in there. Not easy, but it will happen. Hopefully with everything calming down pandemic wise, processing times will improve.
