Once someone in your local office is available to be assigned your file, your file transfer will complete.

I called IRCC this morning. I was told I passed security and eligibility checks and currently criminality is being processed by RCMP. The agent confirmed that once all checks are "Passed", the application is placed into a pool of test-ready applicants. The invitation for the online citizenship test IS RANDOM and handled at the Nove Scotia intake center. The system has a 5,000 limit of active citizenship test takers at any given time before the system crushes. The agent also stated that post-covid applicants are being worked on within the 12-month application process, or at least, aiming for that timeline. Though this is not true for pre-covid applicants as most of them are non-routine applications. This explains why the IRCC website says they are working on applications from March 2019!!

Any thoughts? It's encouraging to know that June 2020 applicants might become Citizens of Canada by end of this summer!

Interesting

If I know, based on GCSM notes, that they are going to request fingerprints for me eventually, can I do them in advance and send them in preemptively?
