May 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[AANS]

Has Toronto's (Scarborough) office been historically slower than the rest in processing family applications? I've looked through the sheet and I've seen that single applications are processed faster from Test to DM. Any thoughts on this?

We completed our tests back in Nov (family) and still waiting for an update. - March applicants

Hmmm..It looks like they're clearing the November backlog for tests taken though! You should be up soon!

@FutureImmi Got a response from RCMP that they've mailed my fingerprints to IRCC on 04 Jan. No update yet on the status page. Seems like Montreal office is slow.

Yes, same here nothing changed. I believe they may have restricted work from office and might take a while to get our files updated.

Sent a webform and haven't received any feedback either.

When did you send the webform and how long do they take to respond usually?

I sent them 4 over the course of 2021 and had a response to 1, 4 weeks after I submitted. The response was of not helpful as well

No, Scarborough

Are there any more early May paper applicants still waiting for a test invite?

My BGC moved to completed four months ago(October 5) only a day after my application began to be processed, so I thought that meant my file would move relatively fast, lol I thought wrongly because I’ve been expecting test invite since then.

I am a May 10 paper applicant got my BGC completed in September couple of days after my app turned in process and still waiting for the test invite since, which office shall process your application? mine is Montreal. i was like you expecting the test invite within a month but apparently when our BGC is completed that fast they will put us on hold, form what i've seen when your BGC got completed after several months you will get the test couple of days our weeks after, i hope they did not forget our applications somewhere and we end up like the ones from 2019 and 2020 who are still waiting

I sent it sometime last week, and once I received a response almost a month later. So there’s no definitive timeline just like any other service provided by ircc
