January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Chocolaye]

Unfortunately, the accredited places are only in Canada. You'll need to do it when you are back in Canada. This was my reply from them when I asked:

Please see attached the list of Private Fingerprinting Company Locations Accredited by the RCMP.

Please note that only the company locations listed have been authorized to take fingerprints for civil purposes and submit them as electronic transactions for verification against the National Repository of Criminal Records.



Please note that there are no Private Fingerprinting Company Locations Accredited by the RCMP outside of Canada.

Oh no. Thank you so much. When was this sent to you??

They sent me the reply about acccreditted fingerprints in Mid-may 2022. Thankfully, we received the invitation for fingerprints the day before we flew to Thailand for two months, so we managed to get the fingerprints squeezed in. Just barely!

My urgent processing request was approved on May 30th, prohibitions and language changed to complete on the same day. Physical presence changed to complete on June 7th, I also got desicion made and oath invite for June 27th on the same day.

How you ask for urgent processing? Is that because you need it for travel or work?

Yes, fingerprints from RCMP accredited location is different from biometrics. Sorry...

They are going sooo slow submitted application in july 2020…they opened it on jan 13 3021. On July 2021 citizenship test past. They asked for passport pictures all submitted. Still waiting. Over 27 months for citizenship when at the time of submission it was only 12months. Sad how delayed everything is.

Anybody applied in January 2021 still waiting for news?

Anybody applied in January 2021 still waiting for news?

yes, applied Jan 2021, BG check May 2021 (so it expired as far as I understand it), citizenship test in April 2022, results validated April 25th and nothing since then, no update or news, still pending presence, language and the prohibition (all have been in progress since my AOR in 2021).

Hopefully some movement soon, I have a trip back home in September and I d like to have a passport by then but this is looking unlikely now. Nothing to do but wait and see, good luck on your end as well!

Glad to hear your case, hopefully both of us can hear from IRCC as soon as possible (?)

I was so excited to see IRCC email when I opened up my mailbox this morning but it ended up seeing a survey email!

My oath is scheduled for June 30th. Pretty happy about that!
