What about Feb apps that are having a radio silence.. no test invite, no backgrounds etc.. only AORs and nothing after.. it's been already a month for some..
I applied December 27, 2023, AOR on Jan 12 and did not hear back until Feb 1 (FP request), so I guess it's normal.

Hi guys! I received my PR in 2019, and have decided to go for my Citizenship.
1) I haven't been out of Canada since receiving my PR, so I don't think I need a Police Certificate if I understand it correctly.
2) For PR, there was a LOT of paperwork with reference letters and such...do you guys add extra letters, etc. with this Citizenship app? or is that overkill? I don't want to burden the agents with more paperwork if it's not needed.
Thank you for your time.

Nahh it's very simple . PR file was very complicated. Don't need to add any extra paperwork.

no update on my tracker. :mad: :mad: :mad:
For your sake, and that of others who may not know.

Your tracker will usually update (not ghost updates) with new items two days after they have been added. So, any updates you see today would have been from Sunday - jokes on you if you thought IRCC staff worked on that day.

Thus, Wednesday to Sunday is when you'd usually see updates on the tracker. Wednesday for Monday's items, and Sunday for Friday's. Updates also only happen early mornings, people have said by 7am local time. If no updates at 7am, do not expect anything until the next day (provided it isn't a Monday/Tuesday).

Save yourself the trouble and obsess over other more productive things like watering your seeds.
