May 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[asing711]

Any insight on whether recent restrictions / work from home guidances in QC, ON are likely to slow down processing times ?

Not sure how IRCC is selecting office for processing our applications. I’m based in Alberta, yet received the test and fingerprints request from Montreal.

Strange, hopefully there is a method to their madness!

Wondering if there is any may online applicant still awaiting updates. Mine is May 16 online applicant, Aug 31 - AOR still showing in progress for background checks and all. No ghost updates, nothing yet. I see that a lot of people have had their tests done.

I'm May 20 online and nothing yet.

Our situations are similiar. My application was recieved on the 23rd. of May, 2021 and I received my AOR on the 3rd. of September. I haven't received any updates and everything in my tracker shows as "in progress" except for the citizenship test and ceremony.

Im in the same boat - suspect that it’s a Winnipeg issue…

Thanks to IRCC for introducing new term "ghost update" where the literal meaning is different from the actual meaning.
