February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[HereforPR]

Does requesting ATIP affect the processing timeline in any way?

I applied in Feb 2020, completed test in May 2021. More than 3 months have passed since the test but there are no update since then.

In the tracker, only these two are complete:
- Citizenship Test
- Background Verification

Everything else is in progress:
- Language Skills
- Physical Presence
- Prohibitions

And Citizenship Ceremony is obviously 'Not Started'

I also wrote to my Member of Parliament's office 3 days ago - no response at all.

I am in exact same boat as yours.
No update after Test changed to completed back in May 25th.

Congratulations !! Glad to hear that you have got your Oath date fixed.. we have been waiting for the oath mail and dates since the last 3 weeks

I would say at least 50%-60% of applicants are still waiting. So don't worry. They have a huge backlog.

I just checked my profile now it says updated today 19th August, but nothing changed. I still haven't gotten a test invite as am Feb 24th applicant .

Thank you. Hopefully you'll get some traction in your application.
Its clear that IRCC agents working pattern is all over the place. Few folks completed their Citizenship test with similar timelines (April 2021) got their Oath ceremony and certificate.
I guess the GTA folks are cursed with long waiting time for Citizenship ceremony. I'm usually super cool but this process is testing my patience.

“Language Skills” / “Prohibition” / “Physical Presence” changed to complete on Aug 18th.

Sorry just curious, my file was updated today, but nothing changed. Am Feb 24 applicant. Before now it was updated Aprile 2021 and now again . Was your updated before any changes happened?

 

[Onyebuchi]

Just curious , am I the only one left from Feb 2020 that haven’t gotten test invite , this is driving my family crazy.

No your not. Me too Feb 24th my application was received. I checked today it was updated but no changes from previous. All in process except Test and Oat not started . Check yours and see if there is any update. Or maybe I guess they are working on it now or something.

That's a ghost update. You could expect a "real" update soon.

Oath complete today morning. Was a bit concerned at the start because the host didn't accept me into the zoom meeting 10 mins after the start but all good. Now we wait for the certificate. And then passports
