Any paper applicants have received any updates recently? I am thinking if they are only processing online applications at this moment. I tried contacting IRCC but no response. My PR Card is expiring in march and i dont want to renew it now as my application is in process. Any thoughts on whether the PR card expiry should cause any issues in the application?

Hello everyone! I am scheduled - based on tracker updates - to attend the virtual oath ceremony next weekend (March 5th) but I have yet to receive the official invitation. Anyone else was or is in this situation? If so, any idea what's the current timeline to receive the letter prior to the ceremony?
Congratulations!

It seems that Decision made / Oath ceremony for Family applicants is delayed. How many family application December 2021 Test takers are still awaiting for Oath ceremony even though BGC and most items are marked as complete? I don't think CIC is giving priority to these applications. There priority right now is to provide Student visa.

It looks like they're clearing the online applications first before coming back to ours.

Hi guys,

Is there any other May 2021 applicant that still hasn't received the test invite? I am starting to get worried about this :/

Here is my timeline:

Vancouver paper based, single
Application Sent: May 23 2021
Application Delivered: May 25 2021
AOR: August 31, 2021.

Then nothing ... While I am seeing most people here are scheduled for Oath. Should I contact IRCC ?

Toronto paper based application of 4, AOR 9 aug
only 1 background done out of 4 on dec 5 no update since then, called the office today and i was told they are rapping up 2019 cases so i dont have to worry about anything as this is normal and the cases who are getting oath are rare unicorn cases (quote un quote)
so i would suggest not to check the tracker every day and just relax.

Hi May 2021 applicants,

Application type: online (single)
Location: Vancouver
May 23, 2021: Application date
September 3, 2021: AOR
January 19, 2022: FP request
January 26, 2022: Test Invitation
February 3, 2022: Test status updated to "complete"
February 15, 2022: FP results received by IRCC
February 16, 2022: Background check status updated to "complete"

However, prohibitions, language skills, and physical presence are still listed as "in progress". Does the latter suggest that I may have to attend an interview in order for these three items to be set to complete?

I'm sorry in advance everyone. I know I've asked this question before, but interviews are anxiety-inducing and waiting has become intolerable.

Thanks.
Hi, may I ask how you know FP results received by IRCC (on Feb. 15th)? Thanks!

For me the background check was completed on Dec 3rd and have not heard anything since then..
