November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[Gunners]

Decision is still not made. I completed my test on July 26th but unlike others mine did not go to completed in 2 to 3 days. IRCC first said that I did not sit for the exam and after sharing the test confirmation through the web form they changed the status to test complete after 2.5 months. So it has been a month / month and a half after test complete but the other steps - Physical Presence, Language Skills and Prohibitions are still In Progress. I still did not receive the passport scan page request, whereas my wife did receive hers but even her status is not updated other than test complete (which happened within 2 days for her).

Truly understand your frustration - there is no defined process

I wasn't for it, but I think IRCC should be sued and fined for all the delayed applications and forced by the court to process our applications. Otherwise, all this frustration won't affect them a bit. They are isolating themselves to not be reached. I sent them a webform, a complaint, order notes ... nothing. Have been waiting for the oath since August, and I applied 2 years ago. These days March 2021 are not getting their oath invites. Go figure what IRCC is thinking

And the IRCC agent assigned to my case, has made a mistake obviously. I completed the test on the very first day i was eligible (July 26th) and cleared with 20 on 20. IRCC did not change the status to test complete and rather indicated that I did not sit for the test / a no show basically (which i got through GCMS notes). I went back to IRCC using a webform / through my MP and the status was changed to test complete after 2 weeks, around mid October. Nothing after that. Considering that it was changed after the webform, i would presume that there definitely was a miss with the agent and was hoping that there could be traction to cover for their miss. Apparently not and IRCC Agents seems to be over the guilt.......so again wait and frustration.

IRCC has proven to be basically a dictatorship. They can do whatever they want without any accountability. But I am not surprised. This whole treatment shows and is a reflection of how they see immigrants, as sub-humans. As numbers. As people whose feelings and lives don't matter. This entrenched immigration system has to change. We must demand more respect. More transparency. More interactions and responses. Specific timelines ... etc. We will always remember how we were treated by IRCC.

Hi everybody,

My citizenship test status has been updated to Completed. Does this mean they accepted my test results? I was a little worried about my camera's not so great resolution.

Thank you!

Wooo! I just realized that's been a year since my application has been delivered to IRCC. Happy anniversary !

I applied for Citizenship in Nov 2020, it’s been a year and only update I have is that background check is complete .
I applied by mailing In application, and I believe the whole process has been changed to online somewhere mid summer 2021 ?
my real concern is that PR card expires in May 2022, not sure if I should apply to get new card or just wait for my case to move.
Maybe I should call or email them , haven’t dealt with IRCC since I landed In may 2017.
