Probably an update to your LPP. Check back in a day or two to see if anything has changed. If not, it just means your file was looked at and an agent did something to it.

That is likely a Ghost update

Just a quick update on my application.

I got the invite for the Citizenship test: June 21st, 2023
Citizenship Test Given : July 6th, 2023, and the portal is updated on July 15th saying it is completed.

So far Background Verification and Citizenship test status show as completed. While everything else is "In Progress." Except for Ceremony which hasn't started yet. Thank you.

After submitting the requested copy of all passport pages end of May. No updates since then , why ? No one knows , but things will move forward for sure. Matter of time mate. Good luck to all of us

Anyone received an e-mail from CBSA when requesting GCMS notes saying they need an additional 30 days from the initial to complete the request?
I guess my file is long

No. My automated response didn't even mention any days.

No. My automated response didn't even mention any days.

Sorry, I should've clarified. The initial 30 days would've been today but an agent sent me an e-mail to let me know the additional waiting time frame.

Hi team, tracker updated today to attend oath citizenship ceremony on July 27, 2023. I do believe i will get the email with instructions on 07/20- I hope it's in person

Congrats - my ceremony is on the same day - I will see on the 27th!

Just got my CBSA notes by email now ordered it on June 21 , received today July 19 almost a month , created on July 7

security in process since end of March
location is Grant Review Ready PM 01

is that still mean 6-8 month to get security clearance , does it matter it saying grant review ready ?

PM 01 is a good sign, from what @Dr. Walden explained, it means that the lowest level rep I required to clear it, which also means lesser time.

 

[Dr. Walden]

PM01 are Case Processing Agents. In terms of career progression from a PM01 Agent, PM03 is an Officer. Agents work on routine cases whereas officers work on complex cases which may require delegated decision-making authority. Some offices have PM03 Team Leaders who supervise teams of clerical staff. Some lines of business have PM04 Senior Immigration Officers. There are also PM04 Supervisors and from there PM05 Managers and PM06 Assistant Directors. Headquarters sometimes has assignments or acting opportunities available for employees from the regional offices. An example would be Program Advisors or Senior Program Advisors at the PM04 or PM05 level.

That's so convoluted but totally makes sense when it comes from IRCC to complicate everything. I'm curious where you found this information? Have they made it public?

Hi guys!
My citizenship test window is friday July 21 August 10.
I didn't receive the instruction email, do you think I have to wait or contact them now?
