Anyone applied before June 15 still stuck on background in progress?

Yes. I don't feel too worried about it. I think that mine went into background check starting August 2nd. According to Jan 2023 tracker many have had to wait on average 50 days or more for the citizenship test invite

hi, I just want to ask regarding my timeline. According to the IRCC update, they are giving out AOR on applications received on the week of June 24 2023. It was updated last July 31 2023. So would that mean, our application was sent back? How do we know if the application was sent back, would they email the principal applicant or not? Hope someone can answeR my queries. Thank you.

It seems that the process is moving swiftly for some but so slowly for others! I read today where someone is still waiting from June 2022. I’m getting frustrated waiting from April 2023! It’s hard to see people you’ve applied with getting through around you and you are seemingly stuck at a stage!
unfortunately they say the service time is 19 months so even though it’s 2022 they are within the processing time!
I hope this new Minister makes a difference regarding service standards.

It could be as soon as next week or by mid August. Hopefully everything cleared by end of September. That’s the trend I’m seeing!

It is sad to see the spreadsheet was not updated for a long time. I think it is not reliable anymore.
