April 2021 - Citizenship applications

[Strongfaith42]

But still there is no Pg completed ?

Could you please provide the date when you received AOR and the date when the status changed to In Process in ECAS? If your application is showing In process in old ECAS and there is only a ghost update in the new dashboard, that could probably mean that BG verification is going to show up as completed in the next couple of days or if it doesn't change to completed, you will probably be required to provide fingerprints.

let’s wait and see what happen as I think now application is transferred to office in Toronto and still they did not start the PG

or they started earlier before the transfer of the file ?

It all depends on your local IRCC office, it could be weeks or months, nobody knows.

BG verification starts at IRCC Sydney, after that it is transferred to your local office, you didn't answer my question about dates for AOR and In Process, etc.

Thanks

Here is the glossary of what each status in ECAS means.....

Status of your application	Explanation
RECEIVED (A decision has not been made yet.)	Application Received Your application has been received at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada officials will review your application and the required documents and citizenship fees to ensure they meet the minimum processing requirements.
IN PROCESS (A decision has not been made yet.)	Application In Process Your file has been sent to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) office closest to your home for processing. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada officials will complete the necessary steps to make a decision on your application. If additional information or documents are needed, you will be contacted. If you are between the ages of 18 and 54, you will have to meet the knowledge and language requirements for citizenship. The citizenship test will determine if you meet the knowledge requirements for citizenship. You will be notified by mail about the time and place of your test. Adult applicants who are 55 years old or older are not required to take the citizenship test. An interview with a citizenship officer or citizenship judge may also be required. Should this be necessary, you will be notified by mail about the time and place of your interview. Application Withdrawn If you wish to withdraw your application, you must advise us before a decision on your application has been made.
DECISION MADE (A decision has been made at this point.)	Applicant Notified You will be notified by mail about the decision on your citizenship application. If you meet the requirements, you will be invited to a citizenship ceremony where you will take the oath of citizenship and receive a certificate of Canadian citizenship. If you do not meet the requirements, you will be informed in writing.

for the new online checker this is what it means:
Details of your application status
You’ll see 6 sections of your application that we need to review:

• Language skills
• Prohibitions
• Background verification (We check your background to make sure you can become a Canadian citizen.)
• Physical presence
• Citizenship test
• Citizenship ceremony

Each section can have one of the following status:

• “Waiting on you” means we need more information or documents from you.
• “In progress” means we’re still reviewing the section.
• “Waived” means the section isn’t applicable to your situation.
  • For example, if you don’t have to take the citizenship test or submit a language proof.
  • You don’t need to do anything further if it’s waived.
• “Completed” means we finished reviewing that section of your application.

I have added your information to the spreadsheet! I am in Calgary as well and it appears that our office is the slowest from all, they are sending test invitations to June 2020 applicants, so we have a long wait here unless they get more resources to help them to clear the backlog. Good luck!!!
