February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[rohansekhri]

almost feel like I should have also said I need it urgently. My oath was on Aug 19 and nothing yet in the mail lol

You can reply to the assistant who scheduled your oath. We gave her the proof she needed for urgent processing and she said the certificates should be dispatched by Monday end of day.just saying you need it urgently doesn’t work. Proof is necessary.

Gotcha. Ya i think their citizenship certificate delivery timelines are 2-4 weeks I think if it is normal processing.

I wrote the citizenship test today and passed! (16/20)
How long does it usually take to see DM status in the tracker or in ecas?
Also, I lost my CoPR- do i still need it for the oath ceremony even if I have a valid PR card? (I know this might have been asked many times, but please let me know)

Hello,
I submitted my application in February 2020 and received AOR in August 14, 2020. I have not received any update ever since then. It has been very frustrating waiting to hear back when people who have applied after my timeline are being processed faster. I am wondering if there is anyone in the same boat as me?

I would recommend to request “ATIP” and see what is the officer notes.

I did request for it and got the GCMS notes. However, there was nothing written under notes.

Usually a couple of days.

I just completed my test 2 weeks ago. And today I got a request letter asking for my scanned copies of travel documents.
Can anyone please tell me why they have requested my all pages of passport or travel documents????
Thank you if anyone can answer.

I've updated the request.

This is a pretty common request and there's nothing to worry about. CBSA never kept exit records for passengers travelling by air until June 2020. So, they are now requesting passport pages from applicants to verify stamps and corroborate the trips you've mentioned in the physical presence calculator.

I am. I also applied in Feb 2020 and received AOR on August 18, 2020. Nothing after that

Thanks for the info.
So they usually check physical presence after we gave our citizenship test or it's different for every file.
Don't they send test invitation to those, whose basic eligibilities & physical presence requirements have been cleared??????
Sorry I am little worried rite now from their document request letter!!!!!!

I was reading your oath experience and I wasn't told to write the COPR isn't a PR anymore. They didn't even look at it. They just mentioned that keep it for OAS and all.
