Have you tried calling ircc or ordered notes? What have they indicated if anything

I tried calling and lines were too busy today

the other day when I called the agents was kind enough to tell me that they are working on the file cause it was touched multiple times in March and that the status on their end may just go from not started to complete in one go

but now it’s just a painful wait game when people in November and December are complaining about the path letter not being recieved while October applicants are left wondering

I wonder if that includes the tracker. The portal is a separate thing used to view/create applications and download e-Certificates. It's available here: https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/

Yup, that could be the case. But isn’t it a bit strange that they give updates about the portal but not the tracker? Kinda feels like IRCC has its own little blackout days

Go look at what I posted in the December forum. I requested from all RCMP, CBSA, IRCC and CSIS. CSIS & CBSA came today and I'm more frustrated now because my file is ready to be finalized since March 7 with ALL data gathering completed. just waiting for final grant review. Again since March 7!!!! My status is set as "in progress; Grant review ready PM03"
I was less angry thinking things were still pending LOL

Since March 7, still your BG is showing as "in progress" in the tracker?

Just had a virtual ceremony. I did not receive an e-certificate email before the ceremony but I asked an official checking me in and they told me that those emails should come within 24 hrs of completing the ceremony (well, in my case). I think the biggest surprise was how much waiting there was during the ceremony. All in all, really happy to be almost done

Trackers working again fyi still no update

Finally, the tracker is working, and I can see it shows the Citizen ceremony in progress on April 4th. I received the email yesterday for the citizenship oat ceremony on April 24th.

No BG is complete on tracker since Feb 12 but my application notes indicate that criminality was completed on Feb 6 along with a lot of other things. But an officer has to verify and formally approve LPP. They have all the information though.

Any idea how long does it take to receive the GCMS notes from IRCC?
It's been almost 3 weeks since my request but nothing yet...
