October 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[TasmanianTiger]

Yes I got all invite yesterday evening. for all 3 of us. Now onto looking for passport appointments. Are you able to find anything ?

That's good. Yeah, I'd probably do the walk-ins for urgent processing else passports could be another waiting game.

There's a passport office in North York. That's where I'm headed after receiving my cert.

I am looking to book appointments if possible for July end, so after 5th July hoping that i will get my certificates by July end and go for Passport appoinments if available or use walk-in.

Hello Folks,

I am Oct application ( family of 3, paper based ).

AOR - 31st Dec

Everything is still in progress for me.

Raised GCMS request on 25th May.

Do we have any one here, from Oct (paper based) and still waiting for test invitation.

I tried calling IRCC, but in vain.

Any suggestions ? Does webform query will help ?

Have you received any email regarding the test?

Yeah this morning but for some reason I missed the notification on my phone

We have a family application (2 adults and 2 children), and I passed the test but my wife failed. She got confused with the "To be reviewed" feature and somehow submitted without correcting those and got 14/20. So she would like to re-take the test as soon as possible, and I'm wondering what would be the best course of actions for her? I.e. call / email IRCC and ask to schedule a retest as early as possible? Or that won't change anything and she should just wait for 4-8 weeks as instructed on the web page after the test?

Also, what happens to our family application in this case?

To clarify, none of us has received any official follow-up emails after the test yet.

You neither can nor need to do anything. Just wait for IRCC to schedule the retest.

If they decide to separate the applications you will be notified, and will be given the option to request for your applications to be processed together.

From the spreadsheet, there are many paper October applicants in the same boat as you. It just takes longer for some than others.

No, calling or webform query will not help. Unfortunately, all one can do is wait.

If about 1.5 years pass with no progress, then you may reach out to your MP. At this point it is way too early.
