August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[007possiblemission]

My wife and I applied as a family of two.
She got BC greened a week ago.
Mine is not moving.
Why is that?

not sure if its a glitch but according to this :

https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=816&top=29

I do not recall seeing any message about scheduled down time. Do you?

 

[student777]

Any insight about the nature of the questions?

Everything comes from Discover Canada, although I won’t be able to share any other information as it is restricted.

Update - Citizenship test invite by email and updated on tracker as well. Window Oct 30- Nov 19th
Everything else is in progress except for Oath - not started.

I called IRCC this morning and the only update they gave me is that I passed security and criminality in progress

What's the number you called, please?

 

[Help2]

What's the number you called, please?

I called +1 (888) 242-2100 then selected 1 and provided my UCI number then 1 again then I believe it was 11411 after. But you can follow the instructions to make sure you select the right numbers to get in contact with the call center

Follow this step. You may have to try more than once due to high call volume. I tried n waiting for a call bk, after 3rd attempt

1(888)242-2100 then UCI#
pres 1 to confirm then

3….4…..0.

I always get thru. Also try calling from private number

one more comment on this morning's ghost update...

It is interesting/odd that so many people got the GU today. Probably a system-wide thing. But something else that I noticed. This morning I checked the tracker around 5.30a and there was no update. No GU. Now, the tracker batch updates around 5a eastern time. But then, I checked the tracker again this morning around 7.30a and there was the GU!

Just another twist to this morning's GU saga lol

What I found weird was when I scrolled down, the 3 new updates I got reflected a "new update" icon on the application history, so it showed star new update on "Application filed", "Citizenship test" and "Activity Status Updated: Citizenship Test" , which are items dated from October 6th and even before - I hope this isn't just a wide system update only.

Did EVERYONE get a ghost update? If yes, then perhaps it’s just a system upgrade/glitch. But if it wasn’t everyone, then may likely be the batch was just delayed or something and they actually worked on our files. My thoughts and I may be wrong.

Yes, literally everyone's got it. It's just a glitch.
