Hi Everyone, I appeared for my test (got 20/20) in Scarborough on August 24 and submitted my fingerprint on August 1. Its been almost 3 months to date and my application is still in processing. I called them up but they keep saying that it is under processing and recently background checking was complete.
Any suggestions or advice on how much longer they might take. Thanks.
You are not the only one waiting . Applied nov too . They keep telling me everything is fine with my file but nothing yet . It’s been over 12months now . So don’t worry you are not alone

As far as I know, you are to do your oath within 6 months of the rest. If you passed on May 24th then your time expires in 4 days. You should contact CIC immediately concerning your timeline.
RQ is residence questionnaire, you might get a questionnnaire if CIC requires more clarification on your stay in canada.. Anyway there is no hard deadline as 6months after test you will get oath.. they have 12 months processing timelines and only once you exceed that will they take some action so no point calling them everytime as they have the same answer.

I wasn't expecting things to go that fast after the test
Finally, the long awaited moment is about to come.
I also want to mention here that during the painful waiting period, this forum was the best thing to have in life
Good luck to everyone else. I hope you all become Canadian citizens soon.
Thank you , no they did not give me RQ and thats exactly they said every time I call them . But what I don’t understand is why it’s not first come first serve basis. I can see here people who have written test after May has already taken their oath.
