February 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[flipper11]

same here all applicants from 2022 were forgotten

Seems like it.... the system is broken...and not one person who could do anything about it cares..
I've heard work visas are like 11 months... absolutely unacceptable...

Just had my Citizenship ceremony! Finally! Congratulations to those who had it today as well, and to those still waiting - know, you are almost there!
Best of luck to everyone!

Congrats, are they giving E-Certificates for everyone now or still the physical certificates?

Thanks for the info. Did you choose E-Certificate? If so, please let me know how many days it will take to get your certificate.

My citizenship application status update today… everything is showing complete now except citizenship ceremony showing as not started… i also got an email about downloading e-certificate online. What’s the next process? When do you guys think I should expect the email for ceremony invite? Thanks

GU October 19 - I think it's just because my background passed a year ago... so I guess they will have to recheck that?
Nothing else changed in the tracker.

Did you do fingerprint for your background completion?

Did you do fingerprint for your background completion?

No... they have never asked for anything

No... they have never asked for anything

Then it will stay as it is. If you do FP, it is valid for only a year and you have to redo. Give it 2-3 days for status update or it would be a ghost update, someone worked on your file.

In gcms notes there is a validity date... so that doesn't mean anything if no fingerprint was requested?

I am not sure about that but never seen without FP, background status going back to In-Progress

This thread is also about it - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...-change-from-completed-to-in-progress.736242/

Thank you! Appreciate your replies and help.

For what's it worth: I requested the "free" notes about 2 weeks ago and sent webform about 4-5 (or 6) weeks ago...

the paid gcms notes were from march.
