Hi, I am new and please add my profile to the spreadsheet!

Single, 1097 days, Calgary office,

Sent: June 1, 2020
Received: June 8, 2020
AOR: October 13, 2020
In Process: December 14, 2020
Back Ground Updated to completed: Feb 12, 2021
Test Invite: July 12, 2021
Test Taken: July 20, 2021
Test Updated to Completed: July 26, 2021

I passed the test to 19/20 but the rest of my status on the tracker, Language skills, Prohibitions, Physical Prsence are still marked 'in progress'.. I thought getting an invitation to test means all of my paperwork is complete. I am so anxious that I might have missed any documents and will delay its process. Does this happen to anyone?

Thanks,
Dont worry, this is standard process. Everyone has the same status in new tracking system. It normal. Just relax and wait for them to complete rest of things.

hi All,

I called CIC and they confirmed they have forwarded my file to local office Scarborough. Anyone have any idea how long does it take to get the call for citizenship test? Thank you in advance.

Hello Everyone,

I just checked my tracker and the Updated date at top right is now August 4, Last time it was updated on July 8 when my citizenship test was marked as completed on tracker but there is no actual update. All other details are still same. Does any one know what could be the update ?

Ghost update. Usually a good sign that something is happening behind the scenes. You might see an update soon (possibly in a few days).

Good luck!

It takes few months after the local office receives it to send test invite in most cases. So apply for gcms notes to see when your file reached scr.

Finally received an update after finishing my test 2.5 months ago! I got Decision Made in old tracker. New tracker says everything is completed except for Oath Ceremony.

Language Skills, Physical Presence, & Prohibitions Activity marked as "Completed" on August 6, 2021. I am through Calgary office.

Now that my application is set to Decision Made and according to the spreadsheet it takes around 36 days for the oath ceremony invite, would anyone know if I would receive an email with invite to oath ceremony? I am not sure what the next steps are after everything is set to Completed in the new tracker (except for oath ceremony)

Currently, depending on your office, your oath might be scheduled for 2 - 3 months in the future. Also, currently, applicants being scheduled for oath are seeing dates as far as late November. You'll first receive a notification on the status dashboard with an oath date. The time of the ceremony and other details will be sent to you as an email. You'll receive an email about a week or two before the ceremony date.

Good luck!

Hello everyone. January 2020 applicant here. I received an email request to send scanned photocopies of all pages in my passport. I am currently getting the stamps officially translated before replying to the IRCC office. I have two questions:

1) Should I merge all the PDF files into one file or is it ok to attach 2-3 files to the email as long as the size of each of them is under 5MB?

2) Is this a normal request or could it be that there is something wrong with my application?

Thank you!
