Hi all, isn't the background verification made up of criminality and security? I called IRCC ,the agent said my criminality cleared in September which is weird because the tracker showed the background as complete in May! About the security part she has no idea ! So either the tracker is wrong or the agent .Anyone going through similar situation ?

Does anyone have idea why my language and physical presence are completed but not prohibitions? Do they go all together why my is separated? I have just prohibitions are in progress

I had my language completed before physical and prohibitions, I have seen most people have LPP all at once though.

Ahh that's a good point. Mine are all still in progress. I wonder why my language is taking so long... I just included a copy of my IELTS scores that I used ten years ago for PR.

Yes that’s why it’s very concerning to me. I do not have any international travels for 10 years , no military backgrounds, should be simple . No idea why it’s happening

Unless there is something else stopping you travelling without first obtaining a Canadian passport, you can just make your travel plans while you wait for the ceremony invitation. If you get an invitation with a date while you are away (or before you leave without enough time to apply for the passport after it), you can then reply to the email listed on the invitation letter to reschedule it for after your return.

I have just done this myself, it wasn't any hassle.

Thanks a lot. I would certainly be doing that. Really appreciate it.

Applied : Mar 2025
AOR : Mar 2025
Background and Test Complete : July/Aug 2025
LPP : Waiting


Have to leave the country for the winter (next week) for personal reasons. Would have to be away for 3 months.


I see once LPP is done, it takes only a few days/weeks to get oath invite (best case).
Question to experts:
1. Would they schedule the oath if I am outside the country?
2. Will I be able to return for a few weeks to get the oath completed with, and then travel back to attend to my personal work. (i could do that with small disruption to my personal work, and that's ok with me) ?

What is the best way to handle this?

1. Yes your oath could be scheduled during the time you are away
2. You have 2 options a) request rescheduling of oath or b) come back, take your oath, apply for passport, get passport and then travel back

It's actually not necessary to get the passport while in Canada (there is no passport control when departing Canada) - although it might be a lot easier than abroad, depending on circumstances.

The important thing to keep in mind is that a Canadian citizen will need a Canadian passport to board flights to Canada in the future.
