January 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[dejected]

Still waiting for a response from the Montreal office..........my 6 months of application have completed today (from the date of AOR).............hopefully they provide update in the upcoming week or 2......

Did you write your test from outside Canada?

Yes......but it was updated to Complete within a week's time........is there any other overall impact on the application if test is completed from outside Canada even though test is marked Complete?

Thanks for always being so encouraging! It has been pretty "quiet" for the past month for sure. There was time, right after the strike when random offices gained momentum, but it seems they've slowed down since then.
I usually don't expect any news on Mondays or Tuesday, as we know, it takes 2 days for any update to be reflected on a tracker, so usually we see LPPs are getting updated on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and even Saturdays. As a general and common trend. However, emails from primary offices (interview requests and so on) may be sent any day or time.

I did not know that, and also, from the Feb 2023 forum, I discovered that the online tracker updates usually right after 5 am EST...

Another quite week.. 3rd in a row if I’m not mistaken. I’m hopeful at the beginning of each new week, and hope that a decision is made for all of us who are waiting. Jan 2023 avg for Test to DM is approximately 40 days and I’m at that mark now, so hope it’s coming soon

good luck to all!

Hope So! My 40 days are passed, still the same

I don’t think there is an impact and that this is a reason for delay. There can be many reasons for delay.

Probably a good idea to not check the tracker for a while. Unfortunately, I can't help but check a couple of times a day ):

Only two reasons imo, lazy IRCC officers and a system so broken, only god can help fix it.

Well, yes, your stated reasons are possible, but I think there could be other plausible reasons for delay as well. We all want our applications to be processed quickly but our wish does not override the “process” our applications have to go through. Believe me, if IRCC believes it needs to run 100 checks on our application, it will do so and it must do so. It has got nothing to do with our wish.

I appreciate the process too, but the process has to be more transparent with clear timelines and accountability.. specially after they charge us over $600 per applicant.

Well, if I may ask, what is your idea of transparency?
