November 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[upon]

Hi, does many of you have Test completed but Background not? It seems like previously background was the first step to clear but now they do the test first?

It's interesting that Language and Physical Presence have been processed though "Background" is still in progress.
I suspect this may be more common going forward.

why no one is getting anything "completed" except the citizenship test?
looks like starting from Nov 2023 nothing gets "completed" anymore

Absolutely this. Something is definitely changed. They don’t process applications the same way they did before.
It was always background first. Now the first step is the Test and then silence.
