September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[rajkamalmohanram]

CBSA sent me a letter for extension as usual will take 60 days. And Nothing yet from CSIS. Will receive GCMS soon and ordered another one. I will order every month till they get fed up and return my application.

So, CBSA is also seeking extensions now, huh? That's sad to hear.

This July 2020 applicant from Scarborough received DM and Oath at the same time. Pretty cool, huh?

It's a dream come true cause you don't have to wait for your oath to get scheduled separately.

Btw... How many days from Test Pass to Test Complete status change is taking these days ?

yeah . They need 30 days more. I can imagine how efficient they must be at the border.

It depends on the officer , the office and your case file and in some cases if the officer likes your face or not. Now for me everything was quick till i had the interview with the officer and now it has been 23 months and nothing. Officer did not like my face, she said my face reminded her of Captain Jack sparrow .

Couple of days to 10 days. Varies but usually happens pretty quickly.

So gcms can be ordered before even we receive the one thats currently pending?

I thought getting DM will bring me closer but looks like it is another several month wait for Oath. I get it that they maybe backlogged at the Oath stage but why can't they put people in virtual Oath queues so we know when we would be taking it? The ceremony could be in September/October e.t.c but atleast put us in the queue with a scheduled ceremony!

Not sure how this whole process is working. Was reading on another thread that there maybe a certificate printing backlog as well. Why are they so incompetent at every stage!

IRCC IN the year 2236

Due to COVID-19, we’re experiencing processing delays. We’re prioritizing applications from people who are exempt from travel restrictions.

Btw, folks, how do you check dependents' application status in the new tracker? I mean it asks for my son's application number but I don't have it.

How long do they take to send GCMS notes ?

Your son's AOR letter should have his application number. AFAIK, every family member will have their own application numbers.

Generally, 30 - 45 days but sometimes, they ask for extensions.

If you haven't received the AOR for your dependent, then call IRCC and ask for it. Once you have the number then follow the same process to register for the AOR. That's what I did for my dependent before I got the AOR email from IRCC.

As @rajkamalmohanram said, each applicant will have their own number.

I wouldn't recommend that. If your BG checks are still in progress, it is probably because your application is stuck in criminality. Applying online won't help if your application is stuck in criminality. They will have to get the clearance from RCMP (and security clearance from CSIS) before they can set the BG checks to "Completed".

I'm sorry that your application is taking too long, I hope you see some updates soon.

Have you ordered GCMS notes to see what's going on with your application? If you haven't and plan to order notes, order it from CBSA rather than IRCC. Apparently, notes from CBSA is less redacted when compared with its IRCC counterpart.

When submitting the ATIP request, clearly explain what it is you are looking for. You can word it something like this => "Please provide GCMS notes, electronic notes of the officers, status updates and anything else related to my Citizenship grant application bearing application number CXXXXXXXX"

Yes my application is still stuck with RCMP criminality check. I have ordered ATIP from RCMP and CBSA. as well. I received IRCC GCMS notes last month which didn't really help me in understanding why would my application be stuck for so long with Criminality. As I mentioned earlier that I hold a high level security clearance pass where past 10 years of employment and address history was declared. Usually RCMP takes 3 months to process the Clearance but mine just took 15 days not sure why they are taking so long for issuing clearance with citizenship application. My application has been in registry since Feb 2020.
