I finally received my letter. The ceremony is in Sudbury on Nov. 7th. Good luck to all of you still waiting.

I received my letter this week. Nov. 7th at the Radisson Hotel in Sudbury. Hurray!!!!!

Congratulations Jarrodz. I am so happy that you have received your citizenship. I am still waiting here in the north. I think if I lived in southern Ontario I would have had my ceremony many months ago. I wish that CIC would make the arrangements for a ceremony for us soon. sharongau

Hi Raiya, I found that calling in the afternoon was better for me. I could never get through in the morning. I don't know if that might be because they are in a different time zone? Good luck! Sharon

Hi Jebba, I am still waiting just as you are. I also took the exam at the end of February. When I contacted CIC they said to be patient - it could take until December to get the letter. Have you heard anything yet? Sharon

Hi Taco, Thanks for your message. It is very frustrating having to wait but I am trying to stay patient. I recently sent an email to CIC regarding this hold up in citizenship oath ceremonies and was told in their response that it can take up to six months from the day the file was transferred...

Hello Wanas, I live in Kirkland Lake and I am in the same boat as you. I took my exam on Feb. 27th and I have not received my oath letter either. I called CIC and was told that all Sudbury files have been transferred to Mississauga. She said I might have to wait up to 6 months from the test...

I took the exam on Feb. 27th and I still have no oath letter. CIC says I passed the exam and I don't need to see a judge but because my file was in Sudbury and now has been passed on the Mississauga I have to wait for the oath up to 6 months. It has been 5 months today so hopefully my wait is...

Congratulations Jaroddz! I am very happy for you. Still waiting here in the north for my oath letter. This is very frustrating for me. It will soon be 6 years since I first entered Canada and it took all this time to become a citizen? I wish I knew what the hold up was.

When I called CIC they told me that the reason for the delay is due to the closure of all of the smaller CIC offices. Mississauga has received many of the files from these closed offices (in Ontario anyways) and it is in a state of chaos (exact words by the CIC person). Anyone who has a file...

I called CIC on Friday - took 3 hours to get through. They told me that I passed the exam and will not have to see a judge. My file has been moved to Mississauga and they have no idea how long I will have to wait to have my oath ceremony. There is now a great deal of chaos at the remaining CIC...

Congratulations to you Jaroddz. I am very happy for you. Hopefully I will hear soon on my date (took the test Feb. 27th in Sudbury).

From the CIC website I found that all Citizenship files for Northern Ontario CIC locations that have been closed have been sent to Mississauga. Does that mean that those of us who are awaiting our oath ceremony who live in the North will have to go through Mississauga? :'( I have tried...

Thanks for your reply Leon. My father's father was born in the United States and his family moved to Canada when he was 3 years old. He lived in Quebec the remainder of his life. My father was born in 1930 and left Canada to work in the U.S. in his late teens (around 1947-1948). He...

If this regulation effects those born on or after April 17, 2009, what about those born before that date? My father was born and raised in Quebec but he moved to the United States when he was about 17-18 years old (1947-1948) to find work. During the war with Korea he was drafted into the...

I took the exam in Sudbury on February 27th and I have received no letter yet. I called CIC to ask if it is because the Sudbury office has been closed but they said it is still open. Anyone else from the north get their letter yet?

Hello, I took the citizenship exam in late February/early March at the Sudbury office. I have not received my letter for the oath as of yet. I have heard that the Sudbury office will no longer be available for testing but will they still hold ceremonies there? I called CIC and was told that...
