Dear admins, please update our timeline. It turns out our status was changed to In Process back on January 15. I was expecting an email for some reason instead of checking ecas. Thank you!

Congratulations on your citizenship!
Quick question. Did you ask your officer for expedited processing? Either during the application or the interview?

No.. I didn't ask for anything. actually the officer in the interview asked me if I would like to have my oath ceremony on the next day. It seems that Scarborough processing Centre are processing the applications so fast nowadays. I know a friend of mine who got his notification for citizenship test date just after the ecas by 10 days. And also, there were many people in my oath ceremony who did their oath on the next day after their interview.

Congrats for your citizenship.

I would say all those who got the oath done the day after passing their test are really lucky.

A Sept'19 application here waiting for the oath invite. There are quite a few who have a different experience at Scarborough https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...er-2019-citizenship-applicants.651624/page-64

Anyway, all good with me as I am still within the stipulated SLA of IRCC for processing a citizenship application

Guys, I've been a long time lurker on these forums. I was wondering what I should do if Canada Post might have potentially lost my fingerprint request. I've scanned all the documents before I sent it as my fingerprints from RCMP got sent to my local police station since I had it taken there, so I had to send it myself using Xpresspost and with signature required.

Please advise.

I'll post my stats sometime later!

I’d do everything again and notify IRCC in writing, with a copy of that report you got when you had your FP taken.

We are actually in same boat. Yesterday when i called ircc agent told me that if they didnt received our fp results they would have sent us another request letter for finger prints. And if they havent as its been a month we have sent the results to ircc. It is adviced by him to wait for the test invite letter.

Check with IRCC if they have received the fingerprints. Consider below in calculating estimated time of receipt of mail by IRCC:

1- RCMP mails out FP results within 3 working days (RCMP officer told me over phone that Canada Post has a collection center in Montreal, which ultimately dishes out the mails to respective IRCC offices)
2- Canada Post delivers national mails within 4 working days and provincial mail within 3 working days. Add 4 working days.


In total, it takes about 7 working days minimum to reach the IRCC office. Add 1 or 2 more working days for IRCC to update results. You can follow up with IRCC in 10 working days.

See my post on timelines re tracking fingerprints.

Can you elaborate further on 'wait for the test invite letter'. By the sound of it, looks like you will be dished out the test invite sooner.

Thanks

I was told to wait for the invite and it's been almost a month...
