I guess I am not the only one who received the email for new citizenship status tool ?

Here's where I stand. Anyone else with similar statuses?
  • Language skills
    In progress
  • Physical presence
    In progress
  • Citizenship test
    Completed
  • Background verification
    Completed
  • Prohibitions
    In progress
  • Citizenship ceremony
    Not started
Mine is identical to yours. It's really weird because I just got my GCMS notes and on those (they were from April 20th) it said that Language, Prohibition and Residence had not even started. Hopefully this is some good news. I'm a September 2019 applicant too.

There is no more DM in the new system. If you aren't done you are in progress.

Hello I just got my citizenship test invite but I'm in the united states.. just wondering if anyone has driven upto canada and did they take the test there and have to quarantine? Can I transit through an airport and avoid quarantine?
Our friends drove from us recently, no quarantine required. In contrast, if you arrive at an airport, you have to go to a hotel.

Hi all,
Anyone who recently applied for the Canadian passport? How soon did you receive it?
Asking as we might have to go to our home country very soon.

New Citizenship tools shows that 'Updated:April 23, 2021', and I believe it's same for everyone. Does this mean that tools has application update till 23 April? Does anyone have updates/history shown in status tool which happened after 23 April?

I think the update varies for applicants. It is probably the last update made on the application to the new tool. I would assume they have another internal measure they use, similar to like unsaved files and projects.

Seems a common denominator among Mississauga applicants? Mine was last updated after my interview in May. Also moving for SCR people who took their oaths.
