November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[sk000]

No. FP submitted on 9th August.. no updates anywhere. Is it worthwhile to call IRCC to get an update? Just curious...

Hey you can call them! There's no harm doing it. You might get an answer or you might get a generic answer! No one can say what you'll receive after calling them regarding your application!

Passport copies + translations submited today.

Update : Did the test, got 19/20. The perfectionist in me is slightly miffed, but who cares, it is done .

Now I'll wait for the update on the tracker and I'll get my passport pages done today and that will be that - the ball will be back in IRCC's court.

Passport copies + translations submited today.

I've updated the spreadsheet.

On the subject of the sheet - An interesting point of note: Just over a third of the peeps in November have received their Test Invite!

Yeah I've noticed that too. Ive seen people from June, July are still waiting for test invite. I am truly sorry some folks from 2019 that are wiaitng either test invite or Background Check is still In Process. I hope none of us would end up like them.

I'd be curious on the 'true' percentages for all the older sheets, tbh - still a possibility that there's a lot of stale entries on the sheets across a lot of the months and November (as much as I could, when I did) I made sure that almost all records had updates going into the In Process phase. It's entirely possible that other months are also reflecting the same sort of trends (if not better), but :

a) Diverse mix of different CPC's processing applications at variable rates,
b) People not providing updates for their own additional records
c) People having different complications with their individual cases (Maybe setting of security red flags, fingerprint requests, et. al. )

is muddying the waters a bit. Can't say at this point.

I just received my test invite today

Just completed my test and got 19/20. Whats the next step? Oath Taking correct?

Next step would be to get a Decision Made (and you might get a passport pages request if you haven't got one already).

Once you get Decision Made, there might yet again be a waiting period before you get an oath date.

Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. You mean scanned passport pages? Do they request passport pages for every applicant after the test? I heard for alot of cases, decision made and then oath taking invite is the next step

Yes but this request has become so common now that it is likely for an applicant to get this request than not get it.

I received email to courier color photocopies of PP. Does anyone know how long do they take approx to process application further after receiving these documents?

No standard timeline. A ball park figure would be 3 - 5 months to receive oath notification on the dashboard from the date your test was validated.

Couldnt agree more.....especially the test validation process is still not streamlined and there could be delays in that.....more than a month since i took the test and passed and my results are not yet validated.....

From what I've read when I looked it up, it seems like it can be anywhere between 10 days to 45 days before the IRCC tells you whether your test was successfully recorded in their system or you need to do it again.

Some people on the forum even reported getting a phone call the next day after their test from the IRCC, informing that their tests were invalidated and setting up an MS Teams call to finish it off. It's a black box at the moment. There's no concrete information that shows what their process is like outside of anecdotal data points because of how new this whole procedure is.

Weird you were asked to courrier it. Was this after you submited them by email? Or is that the first request?
