Took my oath on August 2 with the Niagara office, sent my signed document in the same day; they mailed my certificate on August 5, and I had it the next week. :)

FYI for folks re certificate timelines for Ottawa applicants who are taking their oath through the Niagara Falls office: I took my oath on August 2 and my certificate was sent August 5. :)

You will receive an email from the scheduling office; it can come as late as one week before your ceremony. Very detailed instructions will be included in a PDF attached to the email.

You will receive an email from the scheduling office; it can come as late as one week before your ceremony. Very detailed instructions will be included in a PDF attached to the email, but the short answer is that you will need your PR card, another piece of ID (i.e. driver's license, health...

I think others have noted that it can take some time to receive it (up to 1 week before the actual oath?), so this is very normal. :)

Just received my oath invite for August 2! Updated in tracker only; no letter yet. Timeline: Applied: August 2020 Exam: December 2021 DM in old tracker: December 2021

Perhaps I've been lucky, but "Canadians don't like Americans" has not...

I am not, though there is certainly no love lost between Donald Trump and I (to say the least). I've been in Canada since 2014 (grad student, work permit, PR under Express Entry, and now awaiting citizenship). :)

Late 2020 (August) Ottawa applicant in the same boat. Really sorry to hear you've been waiting 7 months since your test. I'm 3 months in now... Ugh. :(

August 2020 Ottawa applicant as well here with a similar experience. Took the test in December 2021, everything changed to complete in December 2021. Still no oath yet. Would encourage you to join us over on this Ottawa thread...

Same here--August 2020 applicant, took test in December, and DM also occurred in December. Nothing since.

Applied on paper in August 2020, took citizenship test in December. DM on December 29 and still awaiting oath here.

I'm so sorry to hear this--how incredibly frustrating. :(
