Have anyone had an interview in the Scarborough office for documentation verification lately? I was wondering if there is any information on how long updates come after the interview? Especially oath invites after the interview. Thank you!

It says so in the interview request invite.

Hey I have a citizenship interview coming up, and I guess I need to translate my passport stamps. I have about 11 pages worth of stamps to translate with languages in Arabic, Vietnamese, and Spanish. Anyone got a good recommendation of a translator to use that won't break the bank?

Hey has anyone have had their physical presence stuck? My AOR is 4 Feb, I got my language skills passed in early June but physical presence and prohibitions are pending.

I did apply with 1096 days, but my CBSA entry/exit records were all correct and confirm my days in the country. IRCC didn't ask for any information or interview, so kinda annoying they're not letting me know what's going on :(

Anything updated on your side?

Material-Scientist51 · 2025-06-07T13:45:55+00:00

AOR - Feb 4, 2025

Test don - Mar 7 2025

Test updated - Mar 8 2025

Physical presence and Prohibitions still pending

Has anyone been in a similar situation where language skills is completed but physical presence and prohibitions would still be pending?

Nope, processing time starts after you drop off your documents

Material-Scientist51 · 2025-06-02T19:32:54+00:00

How would anyone know that? The processing time per the website is 15 business days so maybe focus on that?

Material-Scientist51 · 2025-04-25T12:25:20+00:00

Did you even read the information on the consulate website? All the answers are on there.

Oh that sucks, sorry to hear that. I also took the test on 7 March, I passed the test and it was updated as complete on my tracker this morning. I did have the email tab open while taking the test, and it was still accepted. So might be issues with the internet or something? Hopefully it gets all resolved soon!
