BG checks time varies on a case-by-case basis and it depends on what checks are pending and the level of scrutiny. There isn't a standard timeline.

Hopefully, your BG checks will be set to "Completed" soon. Good luck!
Hey Raj, what email id to send email on if an applicant doesn’t receive CBSA notes?

Thanks. Is there any way to see its status? Like if I request CSIS notes? Or applying it has any bad affect ? Pl. advise?

You can only check the status of criminality in your GCMS notes. Security section will be completely redacted. I'm not sure what information will be shown in the CSIS notes.

I've updated the spreadsheet. You'll only receive an email about a week or two before the ceremony day.

Could you please provide the following?

"In Process" date from ECAS
The date you took your test

Thanks.

Hi @rajkamalmohanram

I don't know if I congratulated you before but I'm fascinated to see your signature with: Canadian Citizen!

It excites me and also gives me hope. I thought that my husband and I could vote this year in Canada and have our Canadian passport; however, I see the opportunity to hear news very far away. Our process is on hold, I have not heard anything from IRCC and I have contacted them with no success. :(

Besides, I was going to ask you about the last part that I didn't understand in your signature: Passport Surrender + OCI Timeline; but I see that it has to do with another country. Actually, I got scared because I thought there was something more to this long and tortuous process.

Congratulations Canadian and thank you very much for your contributions in the forum, they are very helpful. :)

Thank you very much, I appreciate it, you are very kind.

Yeah, currently, oath is being scheduled for 2020 applicants in September 2021 to Feb 2022 window. I hope you get your oath scheduled at the earliest. Wish you good luck and all the very best!

Passport Surrender + OCI is for former Indian citizens.

I've updated the spreadsheet.

The other statuses will be set to "Completed" only when a decision is made on your application.

Good luck!
