August 2022 Citizenship Applications

[e_ash]

Hi I finished my citizenship test in March and waiting for further steps. Can you tell me what are next steps to track the process?? Is there anything similar to GCMS to track this application. I had done my application in end of August

I have the same timeline - applied August 2022 and test complete March 2023 - no further updates

Hi Friends, quick question - what should be the next steps once we have Canada passport ?

Surrender Indian passport?
Apply for OCI or e-Visa?

Can we apply for e-visa without surrendering Indian passport?

"Can we apply for e-visa without surrendering Indian passport?" - Yes

I also applied from Hamilton. Sorry for the dumb question, how to find which office is processing our file?

Where did you get your test invite from? This could be seen from the invite email.

How do we get to know which office is processing the case? I have seen few ppl commenting that the test invite letter should have details, but the email body sent by IRCC only has the generic test instructions and no details about the office .Even the PDF attachment only has test taking instructions and timelines by when the test needs to be completed. The original AOR letter did mention Sydney office, but I read from previous posts that the AOR is by default triggered from Sydney office for all applicants.

Timeline so far :-
Online Application Submitted - Aug 1, 2022
AOR - Aug 8,2022
Background check completed - Dec 12,2022
Test Invite - Feb 17, 2023
Test Completed - Mar 6, 2023

No updates since then ! Wondering what is an avg turnaround time between Test completion and LPP ?

Thanks in advance.

I can not check my status in tracker, as after logging in, it is continuously Loading. I tried different devices & browsers but problem persist. Is there anyone else facing similar issue?
