September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[Javeline]

Did you need to present your COPR (confirmation of permanent residency) for the oath ceremony?

No, they said, PR or anything

If anyone has or had the background check in progress due to delay in Criminality section and Security Passed, and no fingerprint requested, please share your experience.

Hello,
When I applied, instead of adding all the pages of the passport, I only scanned the ones with visas or stamps. Yesterday, the Surrey, BC office requested all the pages of the passports of the passports, I scanned and submitted them on the same day.
I have both the background check and test completed since March.

How long do you think it will take before they invite us to the oath?

Did anybody see their application updated today?

Me, again. I received an invitation for the video oath ceremony today. Of course, the one date they gave me is the day I am flying out to the east coast to be with family for the holidays. IF I try to reschedule, how long of a delay might it possibly be? ugh! My tickets are non-refundable. Thank you.

For those of you who recently got your passport, did they contact your guarantor?
I'm waiting for my passport and I don't know if the fact that they haven't called my guarantor means it's not even issued yet.

Today I had a word with MP office.
The person handling my case told me the following things

Security - Passed
Test - Completed
Eligibility - Passed/Completed

what is the meaning of eligibility ?

I believe eligibility is the initial check for AOR. What do you have to say when calling your MP office?

Did you supply any PCCs with your application?

No PCCs provided. This was the 4th time I had the word with the MP Office as they check the application status on my behalf after couple of weeks. Previously it was always (test completed and security passed). But this time, in additional to that, the person handling my case mentioned something additional which was not mentioned previously. That something additional was “eligibility passed”.

How does one get help from their MP? Do I just call and say I need help with finding out the status of my citizenship application? Would they not just ask me to call ircc directly?
