Yeah, the GCMS notes confirmed that today

Applied for mine as well. How long does it take typically after filing to receive FCMS notes?

Varies for everyone. Mine took 23 days

Which office is it? Congrats btw

I actually don't know. I received the fingerprint request from Vancouver office, but I came to know that everyone gets the finger request from the same office.

Apparently everything lags in Scarborough! I’ll update when I receive mine as well. Hopefully you requesting the notes starts some activity and puts some closure on your file.
What’s the turn around on your file from requesting to receiving

For folks who had to get their e-certificate, I tried to create an account on the portal but it requests an Invite code or number. Does anyone know what that is?

You will get another email with the code

What has transpired with the Vancouver office? It was once bustling, and now it appears to be inactive.

It's off topic, but I really like the name 'Jalal' .

Yeah. I hope so too. Thanks.

Turn around for me was about 23 days. But it's not guaranteed.

 

[AnonyKaty]

Does anyone know if there is a difference between submitting the pdf post oath with scanned signature or with an electronic signature? Especially in the terms of turnaround for the e-certificate

 

[Manprad]

Any idea on receiving oath ceremony invitation depends on application submit date or the date citizenship test is completed?
?

Right now the Google sheets tracker measures it as per the test date. But some people say it even depends on when the background check was completed. It is definitely not according to the application submission date.

Anyways, IRCC is a bit unpredictable
Some applications are moving very fast and some others are slower
