Like most IRCC applications, citizenship applications don’t always follow a clear pattern, particularly when it comes to background checks. While there is a general process, it isn’t always consistent. In my case, unlike others who applied around mid-January, my background check is still pending, which seems unusual. I took the test on February 28, but there’s been no update on the tracker since.
