November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[Gunners]

Morning all,

Is there anyone know how many days to receive ATIP?

Thanks in advance

60-90 days

I feel like I read somewhere they return a portion of your fee if your application takes more than 1 year. Or is that wishful thinking.

There will be a covid surcharge instead

I just received my request for ATIP on my GCMS notes. It took about a month, ordered beginning of February 2022 and received it last night. I did the ATIP route and paid the $5 charge.

A quick question on how to read the GCMS notes. Mine was 42 pages and I feel that it repeated alot of things. Certain items were redacted, 5(1) the detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities, 16(1)(c) injurious to the enforcement of any law of Canada or a province or the conduct of lawful investigations, 19(1) personal information. They tell you this in the email as well.
Where it says "Location" that was also redacted and after some research on this forum, I come to find out that line tells you where your file is in the queue? My ghost update I had on the 16 Feb 2022, was indeed to update the Criminality Background check. It expired on Feb 15, 2022 so they had to update with new check. Other than that nothing else of value other than they also have records on there of communication to and from me. I called IRCC up at the beginning of Feb 2022, being one year since AOR to try and find out whats happening on my file. I also requested UP through a webform on the 1 year anniversary as we have so many family members that died these past two years, and we couldnt go back to pay our respects or mourn with our other family members. Now this might just be my own opinion, but did that "spur them on" to relook at our family's case file at all? Or is it just co-incidental? We received DM on March 1, 2022. Anyone have any similar opinion? At the Mississauga office btw.

I placed my second request and it’s been only a week now so I hope they send me my ATIP on time this time.

Yes, when they ask you for PP copies, FO request etc. you can add an additional 2-3 months processing time to your application. If they are ok with everything they will move you to the next step, otherwise they might schedule you for an interview. Currently some of the offices are working pretty fast however the Scarborough office stated their oath list is fully booked until end of April 22’ and we dont know how the Afghan crisis and now the Ukranian crisis is going to affect processing times. Hopefully most applicants 2020 applicants will be done by Spring Summer 22’. Good lucj

Hey guys, can someone elaborate what is GCMS and ATIP?

And does this get requested after the citizenship test is completed and after you get DM on the old tracker?

You can request at anytime // it starts once your application is filed

Thanks for your reply but I don't quite understand.

Are they requirements for processing the application or are they extra steps that are taken?
