I passed the test today. Background verification done. My application is with Scarborough office. Any idea how long will it take to oath for applicants of Scarborough office?
if you are an online applicant it’s a longgg wait. I am a June applicant with test done in Feb. still waiting for other steps to be complete.

Hi guys,

September 2021 applicant.
AOR Dec 07,
Ghost update 1: May 19, ghost update 2: May 23.

I received Finger print request yesterday (May 25) but the attached letter in the email does not show my UCI or Application number.

Its like UCI = UCCII and Application Number = Application_Num and my date of birth is listed as: Client_DOB

Is this normal ? or its a glitch where system did not pickup any info from my application.

My online tracker dows not show any update on FP, and 4/6 items are in progress.

What can I do now ? Please advise

Replying to my own post: Just in case someone runs in to the same scenario

I called few finger print agencies and they said its a know issue on IRCC end recently where the UCI and Application number does not show up on the letters. We can still do the fingerprints as we have the application number from our AOR.

My ghost update was yesterday I’m expecting another one tmr and the test invitation soon I guess. AOR Dec 10. I think people who had AOR after just need to be patient, it will be your turn soon, like it’s moving slow but it’s moving and almost according to the AOR like first come first serve for online only, not talking about paper based applicants. December 15 should be expecting for ghost update next week.

congratulations. I hope they update mine too soon. I have travel plans coming up.
The travel thing has its own complications with passport delays , I am not in a position to plan anything until the passport is my hand and then after that renouncing my home country's citizenship ( since my home country does not allow dual citizenship)
+ applying for visitor visa,. its a long messy road up ahead

I am on same boat. I will probably wait in the line at passport office for as many hours required and apply for urgent pick up.

If you plans of travelling to your home, then visitor visa would be best option as OCI is taking 2 months

Hi,

What is meant by ghost update? Do you get an email for a ghost update?
