September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

It is the last step. Don't worry about this, it isn't accurate, but seeing it move forward quicker is a good sign

Oh yes! It gives a positive feeling that things are moving. Good to see that the gap has now come down to less than two years.

Hello! My Application shows In Process as of Feb 16. I wrote a message a month ago but perhaps you missed it. I didn’t get an official AOR. Thank you!

Thank you for getting back. Apologies if I missed you. I do try and update every weekday.

Hi!

I have these two lines on my account.

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 23, 2020.
2. We started processing your application on March 24, 2021.

Is this normal? It seems I am missing a line in the middle about the Discover Canada booklet.

It can either mean that your background checks have been completed and your file is now in local office ready for testing

Hi juan92,

My application was also delivered to the CPC in Sydney Nova Scotia on September 24th but I haven't gotten any update yet. I called IRCC early last week and they suggested my application might have been misplaced, and I apply again. Did you get any AOR or prior email updates before March 24th?

No. Prohibitions come under the eligibility and they can be completed anytime from the time your file comes to your local office to the time when it is ready for testing.

Hi friends, If the application is transferred to the local office, does it mean that it is not considered as a ‘non-routine’ application?

There can be still a change if your local office wants further documentation from your side then it can still be classified as non-routine.

However, at the initial stage, if both criminality and security clearance checks are done and passed before your file is transferred to the local office, there is a high chance that it will be processed as a regular/routine file.

Thank you for your explanation. I called CIC yesterday; criminality is passed and security is ongoing. My application still is in Sydney. Let’s see.

Yes. It will be transferred once security results are passed. your file will soon be sent to your local office within few days of security clearance.

My file was transferred to local office since Mid February but still some checks are pending which means its still not test ready. What would be those tests?
