December 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[tonbleu]

All what you facing is normal no need to panic, your invitation will be send any tim next week, they send it a week before oath.you only panic if the invitation not received 3 days before oath. Yes there is form to fill will be with the invitation email you fill it, sign it and send it once you do your oath. If you have a proof of urgency you can ask but usually they don't care,and most the time they don't get late 1 to 2 weeks depending on how far you leave from the office of IRCC. Oh I forgot to ask what office your file with or where do you live to give you more accurate information. Regarding the e-certificate it's only for small group of people IRCC choose randomly at the beginning of the file processing.

Thanks for all the details!! I'm actually not sure which office my file is with. Is there any way I could check this? The mailbox that sent me the interview notice was Winnipeg, but my residence address is in Vancouver BC.

You can make sure from the test invitation email,but either way both Vancouver and Winnipeg send the ceremony email the very last week before the oath date, and both of them good at sending the certificate they don't make it late.

Hi all,

I finally have my LPP updated to completed on Feb 22. Test and BG check was completed earlier in October (marked completed in Portal December 13). Does anyone know what is the rough timeline now for Citizenship Ceremony progress?

Congratulations, hopefully you know by next week most likely it's going to be mid or late March, but still there's small chance they can schedule you for early March. It doesn't really matter you almost there wish you all the best.oh almost forgot which office you with or where do you live?

Thank you! To confirm in portal it says not started, do you mean I might move to completion by end of March (hopefully)?

I live in Toronto, pretty sure my office is Scarborough.

Thanks for the update.

For me, it took 2hr30 min as the counters were selecting next numbers randomly. Some were called within 2 min of getting their number for the queue, and some were waiting even longer than me. The only reason that makes sense is that those who got called right away were with the appointments.

I will go pick mine up this Friday.

I am a Vancouver applicant (December 23, 2021), and still awaiting approval on everything except the test. It's embarrassing Vancouver is one of the most inefficient offices across all the provinces.

Same boat , I think it has to do with stucking on either criminality or security check.
Check this topic ,is were more people like you and me discuss there.

I applied for ATIP on December 30, 2022, and I am still waiting for it. If it's only pending background verification approval, I would assume it's either stuck on criminality or security check. However, when you have everything pending, it's hard to assume which is causing the delays. Neither the IRCC tracker nor the IRCC call centre provides accurate information on the application status.

I just called them today and I was told that I passed the security check which allowed me to have the citizenship test and the criminality check is in progress . I was also told that is not up to IRCC how fast are done these two . Based on the the topic I gave you ,people start to have movements regarding background around 9 months after the test is completed . What ATIP would help with ?

Did anyone who is still waiting on their LPPs got a ghost update today?

Got a ghost update 2 weeks ago, none today. Not too sure what it means, whether it's a system update or not. Still waiting on the LPP
