Hello, anybody who has already applied for a passport, has been able to check the status online?

Do you have any update about your prohibition?

No update. Prohibition still in progress.

Oh then it's just a citizenship interview. Sometimes those are scheduled if they have more questions on your application. Routine stuff.

I had an in person interview today at Scarborough along with my husband. Roughly 5 minutes, document check and travel history. The officer said ‘it will only be an interview today’. Once she spoke with both of us, she said ‘have you taken the day off? Would you be interested in an oath ceremony today?’. Waited about 15 minutes for an in-person oath for my husband and I. All in all 1 hour from the time we walked in to walking out with our citizenship certificates.

Congratulations. I am sure you will be shocked when he offered same day oath. Happy for you. I hope we all get our Oath soon.

I received my GCMS notes yesterday and saw a note in there that “ICES requested due to low physical presence days”. Actually I applied for citizenship on 1096th day.

My question is how long will it take CBSA to send a response to Case Officer? Is it a sign that LPP will be completed soon?

Make sure you did not count your vacation days out of the country.

No I did not. I only went out once for 19 days only.

Hi All,

I need some help regarding GCMS notes. We are stuck at LPP since July 2023. I am planning to request GCMS notes as a next step. Does anyone know how long does it take to receive GCMS notes? Also do we request under Access to Information or Privacy Act?

Location: Vancouver
Application: Family of 2

Application sent: May 6th, 2023
Background Completed : June 21st, 2023

I have exact same timeline as yours except my application sent date is May 27, 2023. I am still waiting for my LPP to be completed. GCMS notes does not say anything. Looks like they put a bunch of applications like us to a triage process, probably they are going to look at it at a specific date.
