Hello,
Just to provide some updates on what happened to my application submitted in September 2019.
100% due to covid it was delayed, Got second-time fingerprint requests in February 2021, Citizenship test completed in April 2021, then all language, prohibitions, etc completed in August 2021. That's all...nothing happens after... During this, my PR expired in August 2021 as well. I am nowhere in your excel sheet but come to this site to get updates from you members.
What finally I did was I was filling a PR application for renewals and during renewals, it took me on a link to queries, I decided to write there and submitted this "Hey guys, I understand you are busy due to Covid matters, but your this delay my PR got expired, what you want me to do?? Fill the application or No because my status shows everything completed except the ceremony from the last 3 months. I do not mind-renewing t but cannot take the risk if anywhere I have to fly in an emergency as my parents are in India, Please reply and I will be ok with any suggestion you provide" So next day I got my status updated to citizenship ceremony on November 8th which we completed yesterday (Family of 4) so thought to give you guys some updates.
