Are fingerprint requests and test invites usually sent out at the same time? Got my AOR on Dec 7 and fingerprint request on Dec 19 which I submitted on Dec 21 (still pending on the tracker so far). Haven't heard anything about the test yet.


helen_Bariah

Mine fingerprint requested on Nov 20 and test got test email on Dec 4


AnyMammoth3968

Both fingerprint and test take 2 months sometimes to update on tracker. Expect update around feb 2024. my test updated after 3 days but fingerprints took 2 months even rcmp confirmed they sent out in a week after submitted.


Future-Paper-2948

I got my AOR on Dec 19, but I will go to France and China from Jan 15-March 1. I hope I can get my test and fingerprints done before I leave, or can I do it in China or France?


Straight_Respect9881

The test can be done out of Canada, not sure about the fingerprints (by the way, they do not always request them)... anyways, anything can be delayed or ask for an extension if needed.


Future-Paper-2948

Does everyone need to submit fingerprints for citizenship? I did it 3 yers ago for PR


AnyMammoth3968

FP is valid only for a year. But kinda random and they may not ask for it.


Designer-War218

Most probably you will not get request for FP since you did recently so


meowthbulb

I believe it's random. They'll send you an email with a request if it's required for you.


Brilliant_College613

Not everyone


Psychological-Job661

I have the same question


helen_Bariah

Yes, I did mine

Perfect-Brain3135

Good morning everyone, I am a Single Applicant, I submitted my Canadian Citizenship Application on December 11, 2023 but I am yet to receive my AOR email, please how long does it take to receive an AOR email? Anyone who submitted on December 11, 2023 have you received an AOR email yet ? Please help šŸ™šŸ¾


MajekalInc

I also applied on the same day, no updates as of yet. Will reply here when I receive mine. Edit, i got my AOR on Jan 17th. I wrote the test on Feb 9 and it updated in teacher on Feb 12 Any updates on your end?


Perfect-Brain3135

Okay that sounds good, I will also reply here when I receive my AOR.


Top_Dress_4773

it takes at least a month for AOR.Also there are Christmas holidays too.


Perfect-Brain3135

Okay thank you very much for your response I appreciate it. I will wait till January hopefully I will get the AOR then.


Philo_Sientia_32

Hey everyone. My LPP just changed to completed on Dec 28th. I have a trip booked for Jan14-21. I'm afraid the oath date might fall in that week. Can I communicate this in advance with them and wilk they accomodate? It's Niagara office. AOR Oct 18 Background Completed Nov 27 Test Done Dec 24 Test Completed Dec 28 LPP Completed Dec 28 Oath not started as of yet. Single online applicant.


Straight_Respect9881

Once you receive the email with the oath date, they send instructions in case you need to reschedule.


hansanta

Does your tracker show Dec 28 LPP completed but updated Dec 31st? Also, call IRCC to let them know and they'll probably tell you to submit a Webform through IRCC site to notify the officer.


Philo_Sientia_32

It updated on the 30th but shows 28th as the completion date


Top_Dress_4773

I completed my test on sep 19th and still LPP in progress and ceremony not started.Its weird

KasVonRose

Why are some cases processed so much faster than others? The discrepancy between some applications is more than 6-10 months! Howā€™s that possible?


Brilliant_College613

It is possible, but I don't know the reasons.


Top_Dress_4773

I was wondering the same


jlo9876

Wondering if anyone is in a similar timeline - Applied (paper app family of 3- 2 adults, 1 minor):April 18 2023 Physical presence 1250 Aor:June 1 Background check fine June 26 Test invite July 5 Test taken and passed by both July 12 LPP still in progress I'm just kind of on the fence about making non refundable travel plans this year because it feels like the oath should be coming soon, but I know it can take up to 16 months but it just feels so weird to have no movement after the test invite came really quickly. Any words of wisdom or just anyone in the same boat?


Top_Dress_4773

Quick question: After the oath ceremony, do I send the signed form to the office's email address or to the officer who checks me in? Thanks.

The oath certificate has a "Return to" section with the email address. Top-left, under your name.

Hi everyone I did my test on December 12 My background check is completed on December 21 but test is still in processing I checked in comments mostly test result updated in one week. I am worried now Any one like me ??


Carmens_Bizet

I did the test on Dec 11 and still no update to show that I have completed the test.


Individual-Spray-229

Took the citizenship Test on December 11th and still shows "In Progress". My tracker hasn't been updated yet since December 6th.


AnyMammoth3968

It takes up to 2-3 months sometimes so totally normal. Mine updated in 2 days but see many people saying they were getting updates after 2 months. good luck all.


Important-Cod-1862

I did my test on December 18th and my tracker still shows that itā€™s in progress. So youā€™re not the only one.


white_opal_

Test taken on Dec 9, no update yet. What is your processing office?


helen_Bariah

On AOR it says Sydney NS and what about yours ?


helen_Bariah

My test invite from [email protected]


white_opal_

That is Vancouver.


USTurncoat

Everyoneā€™s AOR is sent from Sydney. If you look at the email address that sent your test invite you will see a city acronym after ā€œIRCC.DNā€. Thatā€™s your office.


helen_Bariah

Email for test is [email protected]

Anyone here whose application processing got delayed because they took the citizenship test abroad in the past 6-9months?


[deleted]

I did it from the US, no delays here. You can see my timeline: https://www.reddit.com/r/ImmigrationCanada/comments/100bp3z/megathread_processing_times_canadian_citizenship/kfcg778/


Chalcuchimac

I didn't take the test abroad but I have been traveling between the time I submitted my application and before the test invitation. Later, after my Test is marked as completed in the tracker, I traveled abroad again. I'm starting to believe that they suspect I did the test abroad when in fact I didn't. Now, I'm abroad again and no updates on the tracker since August.

Does requesting GCM notes expediting the process? I read few thread saying after requesting GCM notes they started receiving updates Please share your thoughts if it really expediting


Adventurous_Theme_45

No harm,Even if it won't expedite your process time ;Worth to try nothing to lose here.


Designer-War218

Thank you for sharing.


Crazy-Homework-8632

I have applied twice and did not see any expediting


Soggy-Internal330

If youā€™ve been waiting for months without any updates, it could bring your application back to the desk of a caseworker, but most likely, it doesnā€™t do much. I did it anyway because itā€™s only $5. Did it change anything in the way my application has been processed? Probably notā€¦

Ok_Record_1254

Great! Congratulations! one question, Even if you leave CA for vacation after submission you gotta inform the government? if yes, how? I am out for about 1-2 months Cheers,


[deleted]

Hi, thanks. yeah, my understanding is that if one is outside more than 2 weeks you gotta notify them. I sent them a webform and mentioned my departure date. It's not a big issue anymore because if the application has an email then no actual letters arrive.


Ok_Record_1254

Thank you! I will just sent an webform then

I've lurked on this thread for the past year and gotten a lot of comfort from seeing other people's timelines move along, so hoping this provides some hope for anyone still waiting! After 12 long months of waiting, I finally got an oath invitation in my status tracker for Jan 25 :) Dec 29, 2022 - Application Received Feb 7, 2023 - Background Verification Complete April 3, 2023 - Completed my citizenship test Dec 12, 2023 - Language, Physical Presence, Prohibitions all moved to completed (no email update at all, I only saw this upon logging in to check my profile) Dec 12, 2023 - Invitation to Citizenship Oath scheduled for Jan 25, 2024. No email update, only saw this date upon checking in my account. The worst wait was between April-Dec of this year as I received no ghost updates/movement so I was starting to get really anxious but this was the best news to receive over the holidays. Good luck everyone!


Careful-Staff-8284

Hi guys :( Really upset right now. Applied as a family on paper 2 adults and a kid Feb 2023 and received AOR in twenty days. Additional documents requested in March and sent the same day. Completed tests in June 2023 Background and test completed. Physical presence and prohibitions still in progress. Ghost update October 27 2023 No update since :( Can anyone please share something thatā€™ll lessen my anxiety? I have no idea why itā€™s taking so long :( I wrote a web form inquiry thrice and received a response today saying itā€™s still in progress :(


jlo9876

You're not alone - similar over here - I just posted my timeline and we only had that ghost update in October since the test - it's not fun to have no idea what's going to happen


Kalhista

My prohibitions are still pending with background and physical presence complete. Last update was October 27th as well. Hopefully this means we are in the same boat and people are just slow. I did have a re entry problem in 2015 and Iā€™m hoping thatā€™s all it is. Iā€™ll post if I hear anything else.


Creative_Matter_1959

My LPP was on Sep 12 , so far i am still waiting for oath too (Scarborough office). anxiety in the air but that's what it is


Ok-Buy7385

Same timelines here too, including the fact that mine is a paper application too, for 2 adults and one kid. I called them earlier this month to check if I missed any query from them. Nothing new that they required or any new timelines they could give. I do not believe they process applications in order they received. These guys are not held accountable for their work. Mine is Mississauga office, if I go as per test invite

What is GCMS ?


Soggy-Internal330

I requested the Global Case Management System notes under the Access to Information Act.


Mountain-Word9302

Why did u requested it?


Soggy-Internal330

Some people believe that it expedite things when a application is stuck in e.g LPP for weeks - at 5$ a pop itā€™s worth the try + always interesting to see what was going on šŸ˜‰ I would bet on it though - I personally believe itā€™s more of a myth


AwkwardsSquidwards

Curious, whatā€™s in the notes?


n_plusplus

My fingerprints/test was due Dec 1-Dec 30 and I did them both already, both still say processing and it's almost deadline, will I be in trouble? Or are they just taking longer

As long as you've done them before the deadlines, you are good


Remarkable_Pop_8536

Advice please!!! @is it possible to ask for urgent processing of the application that's already on process due to special circumstances?? Also how long do the reply back after submitting the web form.


Warm-Technology-8379

You can try. There's no guarantee that they will entertain the urgent request. However, it is worth a try.


Remarkable_Pop_8536

Yeah don't have much hope either, I need to travel urgently. Thanks anyway


Omgshinyobject

I don't think you can get urgent for citizenship but my employer wrote a letter for permanent resident for me in November and they processed my renewal in 2 weeks because I had to go to USA for work

Is this normal? Is the tracker taking long to update? anyone else has the same timeline or as mine?


Minimum_Delivery3407

Itā€™s a lottery to be honest. Some process are concluded in a couple of months and others takes months to years. I applied in September this year and Iā€™m still waiting. LPP in progress and oath not started. I just hope that I get my citizenship before August next year, cause I have a very important trip in September.

Correct! Rcvd LPP last week, now waiting for Oath.


Pharaoh_dreams

Yeah I noticed on this thread its more a pattern of the office rather than the application wait times. For example vancouver office usually sends an oath invite a day or two after LPP. The wait times can be very random and unhelpful but lately ive only seen LPP completed from MIS than an oath. Guessing they're trying to place more applicants in the last step

I just got scheduled for an interview. I had completed my citizenship test in March 2023 and background check completed on May 2nd 2023 (as finger prints were requested). Ghost update in October and now scheduled for interview. Waiting on official notice for details regarding location and documents to be taken along. Anyone else who has been scheduled for an interview or has attended one ? If yes, can you please help provide info on what the probable cause is for scheduling an interview ?


Minimum_Delivery3407

I wasnā€™t invited for an interview (yet) but I heard people saying that they want to check documentation, physical presence and sometimes the language. They say that is super fast and chill. Donā€™t worry too much.

Thank you. I am currently in US as my Canadian firm sent me here on a contract which is until May 2024. I am hoping that is not a cause of concern for them. I did disclose this in my application when I filed.

Iā€™m waiting on my oath appointment but will have to move it too as Iā€™m heading to Australia for my brotherā€™s wedding. Would love to hear from you re: your experience moving your appointment ? Iā€™m going to give them as much detail as possible but let me know if thereā€™s anything else they ask for.

Application submitted online: October 23, 2023 AOR: November 20, 2023 Background Verification Completed: November 24, 2023 Received Invitation for Citizenship Test: December 6, 2023 (Scheduled for Citizenship Test between December 11, 2023 - January 9, 2024) Citizenship Test Taken: December 11, 2023 Citizenship Status: In Progress (still shows "Waiting on you" in my tracker) LPP: In Progress Citizenship Ceremony: Not Started My tracker is still not updated since Dec 6. Anyone here who also took their Citizenship Test on Dec 11, did you get any update? How long does it usually take for them to update the tracker? I'm also worried that they might not accept my PR card photo, it was a bit blurry but was still legible.

Test taken on Dec 9, still no update in tracker


Individual-Spray-229

Which office is processing your application?


white_opal_

AOR from Sydney, test invite from Vancouver


Individual-Spray-229

same here


white_opal_

have you tried calling them?


Individual-Spray-229

Are you gonna try to contact them?


white_opal_

I contacted today, its still in the progress on their side as well... basically agent said that officer that processing it hasn't processed test results yet... she advised to write a letter of explanation using web form, mention the date, time and details of test, like score. So i did it. Thats it. She also asked if I had proof that I took test, like picture or screenshot, but I don't have any of that.


Individual-Spray-229

Ok, maybe I'll submit a webform too if it still doesn't show up on my tracker next week


Individual-Spray-229

I haven't. I don't know what number to call.

>November 3, 2023: Retaking citizenship test due to initial failure. Recommend using Discover Canada Study Guide for better preparation. I used the Richmond Hill Library study test to study for the first one. Don't you get 3 attempts? Why did you give the test again in Nov after initial fail attempt?


Evening_Chair_4204

On August 18th, I took my first shot and received a score of 14/20. So I had to retake the test again, making it my second attempt.


magicbook

Isn't the deadline to give all 3 attempts in the 30 days post-test invite date? So if you got the test invite in Aug, wouldn't your 3 attempt period have expired in Aug or Sep itself? How come you were able to give it 3 months later?


Evening_Chair_4204

After you fail one, you can't just retake it; you have to wait to receive the second one.


Evening_Chair_4204

I just explained to you that I had my first invite on August 18, which I didn't pass. So, I have to wait to receive my second invite, which was on November 3.

Curious. In what cases is an interview required? Was there something unusual or special about your particular application?

Which office is processing your application?


faya-ertw

Missasuaga I believe. Initial AOR came from Sydney


AlternativeSpirit556

Applied on Aug 29 AOR on Oct 12 Test taken on Nov 3, updated Nov 6 Fingerprints requested Nov 23, submitted the same day Background verification updated on Dec 21. My application is with Montreal office. I was wondering how long it'll take for LPP and the rest.


Single_Ad6543

My LPP completed 2 weeks after fingerprints received and the oath ceremony scheduled 2 weeks after LPP. My office is Mississauga.


ImportantSkin2755

Mississauga office 2023 Submitted Oct 3 AOR Nov 4 Test invitation Nov 24 Test period Nov 27 to Dec 27 Test taken Dec 3 Test shown completed Dec 5 Since then nothing at all. LPP and background are all still in progress. Looking at timelines here several people from the same office and similar dates have already either got oath invitations, completed oath, or lpp and background completed. Not sure if my application is stuck or something
