Hi,
I need advice. I am Oct 2020 applicant
My Pr card will be expired on this March 13,2022.
still citizenship status like prohibition/ language/ presence/ oath/ are in progress. Citizenship Test and background verification is in Completed status.
I am outside of Canada and can’t travel back to canada now so I have already applied for PR travel document last week and also received acknowledgment.
My question is not sure when will I receive PRTD successfully and can I ask for gcms notes for my citizenship application ?
How to apply for GCMS notes for my citizenship application?
Any advice what to do now ? Frustrating about waiting for oath !
Thanks

Getting GCMS noted takes around a month or more. Further being a PR u can itself order AITP request for your notes.
Refer below link for notes ordering

Almost there! I have not received a notification of Application Approval but all statuses are now listed as completed!

How long to you think it will take to get approval and to be scheduled for the Oath.

Hi, I completed the test on November 7th

I guess the next step is that we get a notification of our acceptance of the application and then we wait for the oath ceremony?

Any idea how long those take after everything has been marker as completed (Jan 28th)?

You will have to apply to get a passport after you get your certificate. You do not get a passport automatically.

A ghost update means there will soon be some kind of update. When did you apply for gcms? I had applied end of Nov. and have yet not received it.

It's now been 3 weeks for me since DM and have heard nothing. Isn't it amazing that they say DM without just being able to tell you WHICH decision was made?
