August 2022 Citizenship Applications

[forw.jane]

Sorry but I have not yet received the test email. The only email I got so far is the AOR email. So after this whatever email I get will tell me about the processing office I guess??

GCMS notes is also one way to know it, but it's too early for you. 2019-2021 candidates requesting for it haven't been receiving it for months. The system is overwhelmed. So its better newer 2022 candidates just wait for things to happen. AOR email, Fingerprint request email, Test email, Oath email - these are the ones we get. Other than that all status change happens on the tracker.

Hi All, I received that same email as you all. And I do see Background verification as completed as of Aug 26 in the new tracker. I did request urgent processing. Does this mean it is getting processed quickly?

It appears my application is stuck in a limbo. No updates since.

Did you call IRCC to confirm that your urgent processing request was accepted?

 

[gandalf019283]

Did you call IRCC to confirm that your urgent processing request was accepted?

I am going to do that in the upcoming week.

Those who unable to access there account follow the instruction below:

- reset password
- use atleast 14 charecter few up case/ lower case and number
- all set
- keep me in your prayers!

Good luck

 

[gandalf019283]

I am going to do that in the upcoming week.

I called. The agent said they couldn't find any urgent processing marker on my application. So I guess it is not approved. Getting background approved in a week is sheer luck I believe

Hi I am from September 2022 thread and just had a quick question from someone who has given test in recent times.
1. How long it takes for the test invite to come in general? My ecas tracker went in progress on October 10th,2022. Is it taking months to get the invite?
2. Once we get the invite, do they provide like a certain timeframe in which you have to complete the test or is it fixed date on which you have to give your test?
Just curious to know as I don't want to start the prepping now come to find out that the test invite is taken longer time as I will forget things then. please if someone can respond to my questions.

Test invite can come in a few weeks to few months. There is no definite time to it. Some people have got the test invite while the bgc was still in process, mostly it’s after bgc complete.

it’s a 3 week time window that you get. You can take test any time in that window. 24/7. Midnight or afternoon. You do not need to book any slot. The email you get will have instructions how to give it!

I’ll suggest that You should start looking at the exam book as it can happen anytime. Maybe put up a hold in library so you can get in few weeks when a copy is available.

It seems like things are moving pretty slowly for our august group. I noticed that by 2-month mark many applicants in the previous months saw their background verification completed.
