Guys just to give you timeline right now, mine was in process since July 6th and I heard nothing till December 20th. But my test was on Jan 9th and oath on 8th February.
Point being, some applicants are being asked to do test early and then wait for ages to get oath, while others wait ages for test but oath is quick... All the best with your applications!

  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on August 23, 2017.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on September 26, 2017.
  3. We started processing your application on September 28, 2017.
When will the 4th line come ... I am losing my mind now
Where in Canada are you? (your entry in the spreadsheet doesn't have location, application type or days in Canada)

Hey guys Oatmeal here, sorry for the delay that i did not come online for a while.

I am an applicant for citizenship from august had my decision made on 22nd December 2017 after my test on 19th dec 2017 , and got invitation for Oath ceremony 10th Jan 2018 for 12 February 2018. The weird thing is they i have not received the official notice yet, as they had sent me on my email . I checked all my emails but nothing is there. I called cic agent, he told me to show up at the ceremony with required documents. Hope for the best, and all the best for other applicants.

I would like to encourage everyone yet to take the test.... just read the book and do some online questions.... the test is very easy and it is common sense.

For all those waiting for Oath invite, please worry not, your time is coming. We are not in control of the Citizenship process and invites. The only thing we can do is to be positive, hopeful and be thankful. Patience is a virtue.

I have appeared for my test and interview today at Scarborough office.
Passed the test and the interview was for 5 minutes (checking original documents).
Was told the Oath invite could take upto 12 months after the application was received, but in most of the cases it takes 6-8 weeks from the interview date.
