I took my test on Friday afternoon, February 7th, which was followed by a long weekend. That means seven working days have passed since then. I'll wait until the end of this week before making a call.

Monday wasn't a federal holiday.

Monday wasn't a federal holiday.

That’s a good point. I hadn’t thought about that.

Might be a holiday in the province where the officers work. So they may have taken it off

If it’s not a federal holiday, all federal institutions should remain open regardless of the province they are in. I don’t like stressing over these things when I applied for PR, I faced similar issues but had everything sorted in a day. It’s a vast, complex system, and sometimes it just takes time.

Finally a journey coming to an end. Got my oath letter. Time to change the flag in my profile picture.

Agreed. It's human nature to worry and stress about an important application...but to your point, it is vital that we continue with life and not get paralyzed by the anxiety

Thanks for sharing. Any idea why they’re holding it till the 21st if it has been completed for 8 days already? Perhaps they gave you an idea?

I called again today to get more info. Long story short, they had an equipment problem in the mailing room. They knew my application was complete since Feb 10, but they weren't allowed to tell people until the mail problem was fixed. They said mine might have already been mailed, but they don't know. They just know all the accumulated mail should be mailed out by Feb 21 and they are working on clearing it all out.

So, who knows really, but they're not just holding it to mail until Feb 21, and it's been complete since Feb 10 (1 business day after Feb 7 submission).

They also stated "completed" as its status currently sits means the fingerprints I mailed to Commissionaires seem to have worked when they were submitted electronically. If there were a problem with print quality, it would be in an "errored" status and no letter would be generated.

What a freaking mess. An electronic issue that too weeks to resolve? And keeping things hidden? What?!

Wow what a freakin mess indeed. Thank you for sharing. I hope my print results are in the lot that they’re trying to get out of their mailroom by Friday. I plan on calling around lunchtime tomorrow. Lets see what they tell me. It sounds like their equipment failure has been fixed at least so I think that’s good news.
