October 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[linxord]

Thank you very much for the advice. I think maybe I was reading too much of threads which made be overthink. But I really appreciate your response as I feel relaxed now and want to thank you for that.

Regarding my surname, I have started using that at work mainly in my email signatures like:
Jevan Boparai
Data Analyst
Xyz Company

I will be adding my surname via legal name change soon as I have realized the importance of surname in western countries. So, even if I am using my surname at work emails, I don't need to update IRCC?

As long as your official names you put on documents and such aren't any different. You are fine. For example if you had a health card or another name used for some official/immigration/identification document somewhere else then you would have to mention. Use your best judgement, but casual/pet names aren't a worry here and don't need to be mentioned.

It's not mentioned anywhere on legal docs. Thank you for your response. I feel relaxed now. Maybe I was just overthinking.

You mentioned your file was in Sydney CPC, same as me. Do you know if your entire case will be processed there or will it be moved to local office?

I am wondering if those of us being processed in Sydney CPC are the ones facing this severe delay...

My file is still at CPC Sydney and they are the ones who requested my finger print. It was written in the email that my application remains at CPC sydney for processing. I believe they will only forward to local office once BG is completed.
My secondary assigned office is Scarborough but file not transferred yet.

How can I find IRCC office where our application is under process?

 

[Varsh]

Yes, still waiting for an update and I called IRCC to confirm and they said we don’t have any update yet. It might have delivered but officer did not process them as of yet.

Its going to be a year in 2 months—still background check and no test invite. I wish I could have applied paper. Paper May 2022 applicants got oath invite…

I am on same boat. I got my test invite and completed it by July 22nd. FP also submitted on July 22nd. I call ircc and they told me same that they have not either received it yet or if received, it's been not open to update my profile. I have test completed only and all other ( BG,LS,PP,Prohibition) in progress.
This is taking too long and not sure what can be next step as some people have received interview invite who did fp same week as me.

Test marked as completed in June. Language, presence, prohibitions all marked as completed in August. Only background check is still in progress (no FP requested).

Anyone in the same boat - all completed except BG check? Usually it's the other way around - BG check completed first, then everything else later.

Since it isn't official yet, no need to update IRCC.

Also, guys I wanted to ask one more thing. Does work history on LinkedIn and citizenship application need to match? I had mentioned my correct history on the application. But on linkedin, I don't show one job and also I show different job title for one job that matches better with my current skills. Will that be an issue?

No, it doesn’t matter.

That's not an issue at all. LinkedIn is a private company, and you are under no obligation to use it or, when you use it, provide truthful information about your professional or educational journey. Therefore, immigration officials do not care about discrepancies between the information you provide in your application and what you have on LinkedIn.
