Yeah thats normal, that is what I mentioned, wait all these messages to go then you will go through, just wait and you will get the messages I mentioned

Thanks! It worked! The trick is that i was calling from a quebec number, so french was the default language. I hid my caller ID and it worked! Unfortunately no one took my call, you know what’s the best times during the day to call?

Keep calling, and wait, there is an a call back option, you can leave your number and they will call back within 30 mins. I usually get someone whenever I call, the trick is to keep calling until you get the second message I mentioned before

They told me the same thing two days before all turned green! actually tracker showed everything completed on the same day I called them!

The officer wasn't as nice as the one you got... they weren't interested in my concerns or typing down anything But hopefully I'll get something this week! Even if they complete LPP today, it takes a couple days to update the tracker, right??

Btw, is your oath still tomorrow? Were you able to get an in-person one? Have fun!!

Hi Folks, I applied for my citizenship on April 2022 and got my AOR in May 2022. Since then only one update on Nov 2022 for completion of my BG check. There is a ghost update on March 2nd but nothing after that. I called my MP and Cic but they said application is within 19 months cant do anything. What should i do now?

Have you ordered your GCMS notes? I would do that plus CBSA notes. If you are unsure how you can search the forum for instructions.

No i have not ordered this. I will check how to order. Will this help?

It could give you an idea of what is happening with your file. Or it could show nothing, like mine have. But still good to check.

hello everyone,

this is my first post here. I've just received an 'Attend the interview' update on my tracker. It is scheduled in the last week of September. I haven't got any email stating instructions on how to attend this interview yet.
There are some travel plans and I might be outside Canada during that time. It'll be very helpful if anyone can please share about these interviews being online or in person ? If they are online at all, can I appear from outside Canada ?
appreciate anyone helping

thank you

I got the email first and the the tracker was updated 2-3 days after.. the interview lasts 10-15 min. Basic questions about your application.. jobs, travels, checking documents.. so simple
