Happy to see so many files from November are getting their decisions, and soon with get to the Oath ceremonies, but a little disheartened that my application is still stuck in limbo since Feb 21st, I guess there is no chronological order that's followed. Guess will keep on waiting, can't do anything else.

Mine is also stuck in the limbo...I have not been invited for the test yet.

Yes, if they are unable to clear your criminal history check with just the name, dob, and place of birth, you'll need to submit FPs. It's fairly straightforward - just follow instructions to submit them at the RCMP/Local police service/RCMP accredited service.

Is your BG marked as completed?

When was it marked as completed in the Application History section of the tracker? I'll update the spreadsheet...

For minors there will be no update till the very end in the tracker. Once a parent is granted citizenship (LPP marked complete/Decision made in ECAS) the minor is automatically granted

BG marked complete - April 16 for me and daughter.

Its standard letter that IRCC sends. Nothing to worry.

One thing though i found out during the letter that came for fingerprint of my wife is that, our application is being processed at IRCC Vancouver.

Also i have additional question here, Since this is sent as family application, if my wife's bg is pending, the test invite for citizenship for me and my daughter (where bg shows completed) will not come until her bg is completed status, right?

IRCC is going on strike effective tomorrow morning. Hopefully this strike will end soon. This is sad for people waiting for their application processing from long time.

Test invite would come even if BG is in progress. Both are independent.
