April 2021 - Citizenship applications

[NeetKaur]

AOR mid-July. FP request and test invite ate beginning of Nov. Test complete mid-Nov. BG complete mid-January. DM end of January. Now just waiting for an oath date.

Great! Do you know if one can view the status of their application through ECAS?

Did you get any movement after BG is completed? Right now I am stuck at BG completed.

my BG just moved to complete on the 25th of January. Im expecting another 2-3 weeks before any further updates.

You are not alone, if it's any consolation. I have been waiting at BG completed for about 6 months now. What's worse, my application was wrongfully returned back to me stating that it was post dated, because of a clerical error by IRCC employee. Although I have applied for citizenship in Jan 2021, because of this ordeal , I drifted into April pool and now it looks they are going take eternity.

I had a similar timeline and got DM a few weeks after BG completed.

my BG just moved to complete on the 25th of January. Im expecting another 2-3 weeks before any further updates.

MY BG was completed before I got the test invite, back in Nov 2021, and,

It has been over 10 weeks after I have passed the test, and my Language skill + Physical Presence + prohibitions are still "IN PROGRESS"

No DM yet for me and my case is being processed in Montreal

ECAS hasn't really been updating for me (except to DM when that happened). I've been following progress using the new tracker: https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login

Did you have fp request?

Nope nothing. They approved the BG after the test, which was a bit strange.

I'm reading the comments and noticed some people are required to send fingerpints ? also passport scans ? why would that be necessary ?
is that standard ?

IMO fingerprints for multiple reasons, criminal record, Authenticity, Background and so on and passport for travel history/physical presence.

Which comes first finger print request or test?

 

[bacovcin]

Which comes first finger print request or test?

AFAICT, it depends entirely on the whims of the person working your case. Usually, fingerprinting and background check happen before the test, but I got the fingerprinting request at the same time as my test invite and others have that too.

Check the test invite email, you can usually get the information from the email address or in the body of the letter. You can also call IRCC and ask them or requests ATIP/GCMS notes (link is in my signature).
