Quick update - Language skills & Prohibitions has been updated to 'complete'. Got a mail from CBSA officer yesterday with a screenshot of travel history from their system. Officer asked me to send updated physical presence calc soon. I had missed to include the PR landing in physical presence calc. This PR landing was just a U-turn after existing Canada without touching US at Peacebridge, Fort Erie. Though it is counted at zero day for physical presence calc but it should have been included in my travel history submission. Learning for everyone. I am hopeful that Oath is coming soon.

Language Skills: November 14, 2023
Prohibitions: November 14, 2023
Physical Presence: November 14, 2023
Oath Request: November 15, 2023 > Scheduled for Nov 28th


I had applied for GCMS notes and received them on November 9th.
It was strange because it had no due date, assigned by or to, and yet a few days later everything marked completed.. seems like a strange coincidence!

If anyone was wondering for the wait time on paper certificate, I completed online oath with Calgary office on November 28th, and just received certificate on the 15th.

Received my GCMS notes over the weekend, just shows nothing has been started for prohibitions (notes show complete by Oct 15 2023!!), language skills (note: over 55), physical presence (notes show complete by Oct 15 2023!!). there was one comment to be complete by early Feb 2024. There was two background checks noted (Jan 23 and Nov 23). So no further forward. the prohibitions / physical presence still not complete - 2 months after due date, Scarborough office dealing with.

would any of the above give me cause to reach out to the MP to try and force along or just wait.

To reach your MP you should either have a reason for urgency or application has passed the processing time window.

If i hear nothing from IRCC over the next 6 weeks (that will be the 16 month duration), i will be reaching out to the MP. I have my GCMS notes and they are 3 months behind completing a couple of items - prohibitions and physical presence. Is this usual for them being that far behind?
I would have thought with getting the GCMS notes it might prod them to get moving.

I have no idea why most who applied in the last 6 months are so are now Citizens.

Once it is passed 16 months, call and let the agent know to take down notes, then they will pass the message to your processing office to act on it.
You can even call them now and again when you reach 16 months.
You may come across a better agent this time.

Hi all, if you've automatically been assigned paper certificate does that mean it would be an in person oath or could it be online too?

also I have no idea what they are doing, everything is complete on my file except oath, no date, its not even in progress lollll nothing crickets! waiting for the 16 month mark now to reach out to the MP.
