Hello guys,

I'm still waiting for an update since almost 6 months, last update was in August 2021. Here is my timeline:
:
Application filled (paper based): Feb 14, 2021
AOR: April 22, 2021
Citizenship Test: Aug 9, 2021
Citizenship Test Completed: Aug 23, 2021
Prohibitions, Language Skills, Physical Presence show "In Progess"

Are there other applicants that applied around the same time that are also waiting for an update? How long does it usually take for these three to be completed?

Thanks!
My timeline is almost exactly the same as yours, only a few days difference on each step. My last update is Aug 24, 2021 after completing the test. I was asked to submit PP copies though on early Oct and I submitted the next day. Scarborough office.

Update today:
Oath Ceremony - 3rd March

Almost there!!

Question - I have a business trip to the USA scheduled for March 12-14, traveling by driving - will I be able to have the certificate sent faster so I may have an urgent passport application sent?

Congrats. If you have the tickets already, ask the officer/clerk during the ceremony and they will offer a pick-up or expedited courier delivery for the certificate. Then you can request an appointment for express/urgent passport application. Good luck!

(newbie here). I have been silently observing this forum for a while. Another frustrated paper-based applicant. Here are the timelines

Vancouver
Single
Paper-Based (wish I knew there was online option)

2021-02-16 - Received application (courier)
2021-04-22 - AOR
2021-06-07 - Start Processing
  • In Progress: Prohibition, Background Verification, Language Skills, Physical Presence
  • Not Started: Citizenship Test, Oath Ceremony
2021-09-13 - Fingerprint Request
2021-10-20 - Fingerprint Received
2021-10-22 - Status Update (I think it's a Ghost Update)
2021-12-28 - Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Online Request (no reply still)
2022-01-21 - Background Verification Completed
  • In Progress: Prohibition, Language Skills, Physical Presence
  • Not Started: Citizenship Test, Oath Ceremony
2022-02-07 - Contact Local MP, Replied in 3 days
2022-02-08 - Signed a Consent Form to Local MP
2022-02-11 - Local MP contacted IRCC and they provided the response
  • Your application was transferred to the Vancouver office on August 26th, 2021.
  • Security assessment was completed on Jan 20th, 2022.
  • The file is moving.
  • There is no additional information required from the applicant at this time.
  • When fingerprints were requested, it became a non-routine application.

Meanwhile, I sent multiple IRCC Web Forms, and all got standard replies.

Hopefully I will receive the test invite soon. I studied so hard 3 months ago ... and now my vibe has diminished
