April 2022 - Citizenship Applications

When do the email containing the ceremony instructions arrive in the inbox?

It feels like the government hates me... Nothing since the test in November. Now it's 30 days since my ATIP request and nothing, and I also have been waiting for progress on my gun license for months too...

yeah must be the same case as ours. lying gathering dust in a corner.

I'm curious... how many times per day do you guys check the tracker??

3 times a day 9am 12noon and after 5pm

I finally got my ATIP notes today (exactly 30 days...)

LPP "Not Started"... no surprise, I'm assigned to the Sydney office with secondary as Vancouver.

At least nothing looks 'wrong' but ugh... frustrating to wait to see my file is just sitting there with zero progress since November.

I know we are not at 19 months yet, but I emailed my MP this morning... can't hurt. Will let you guys know if he replies.

I live in rural Alberta, so I don't imagine he'd get as many of these requests as those in the cities.

Hello everyone
My oath ceremony was at 9 am BC time and I am officially a Canadian citizen now and just to let you guys know that when the ircc officially was verifying my docs like PR card and id’s and asked me some questions and after she asked me if I have any questions and I asked her if I can get an e-certificate instead of paper and she said off course and made a note. In about 10 minutes during the ceremony waiting for oath officially to start I received the instructions how to download an e-certificate so if you want an e-certificate you can ask the official on your ceremony date and I hope this helps
Best of luck
Jas

Folks, I called IRCC yesterday, to see why my application is in ghost mode since March and regarding the note I saw in my GCMS notes "E-Grant Pending Docs", the agent told me that my file look fine and nothing is outstanding and nothing to worry about and in line for next step (even residency and prohibitions still in progress) and that I have to keep an eye on my email for any instructions, so I asked him what is the next step, he said ceremony! I am trying to consider this a good sign, but who knows how IRCC works!!!

Any updates on your application?
I’m in the same situation as you with location:e-grant pending docs.

Nothing, hopefully the officer is not on a Mat/Pat leave!!! Nothing to say other than at this point I hate my life!

Just did the Oath ceremony on the 27th! Just waiting on E-Certificate ... so happy this process is almost over!

 

[CaroM8]

Do we get a notification when the E-Certificate is ready? Do we retrieve it in the tracker?
