May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[gc1735]

Received GCMS notes yesterday (Nov 4th) after submitting request through ATIP (Privacy Act) on Oct 5th.

A bit dense, but looks like this most recent note (that aligns with my last ghost update date) might be the holdup on the app:

Referred to Level 2 for review - ICES Discrepancy

Anyone know what ICES Discrepancy is?

In my quick look for info - your citizenship application was escalated from a standard (Level-1) processing officer to a senior (Level-2) officer because something in your identity or residency verification didn’t match cleanly in ICES (Identity Confirmation & Enhanced Screening system).

Might be a misspelling, variation of something on a document that they just want to clear up.

You could maybe (I have no experience here - so grain of salt stuff) reach out to IRCC and note that you saw that in your GCMS notes - and if you're trying to be proactive and help them wth anything they might need from you to clear that up?
