Got CSIS notes in the mail: "Security Assessment: a search of this bank was conducted and no personal information concerning you was located."
..I don't think my application has been started yet. Despite being 'in progress'...
On the first page did it say in progress or finished,and you have your information on the second page ?

nope. The second page just discussed how they would process this request etc. nothing useful. Also, no no wordings related to 'in progress' or 'finished'. Total waste of time.

Hi guys,
Today, I just received a new update on my tracker. My language skills, prohibitions, and physical presence have all been completed. However, I haven't received an email regarding my citizenship ceremony yet. How long can I expect it to take to receive an invitation for the ceremony? I'm a bit worried because I'll be leaving Canada for a long trip at the end of April, and I want to make sure I'll be able to complete the process and get my new Canadian passport before I go.

Did you try calling IRCC or dropping an email to your processing office as 9 months is a pretty long time to schedule an oath. Sometimes a nudge is needed for them to realize you are waiting for a long time.

You must email back to your test invite office or reach out to mp. Very unusual . Ideally you get invite less than month cz there is nothing more to process
I wonder why you were sitting idle for this long? 9 months just for oath.. ridiculous!!!

There actually was one more step in our application. We were invited for an interview in December. The officer asked a few basic questions and checked our passports. It's been two months since the interview without any update.

We actually spent almost a year abroad, and I'm assuming it impacts the processing time, though in our case only the oath step is pending.
