Hi - posted this elsewhere but figure it may warrant its own thread!
I have a question (I was over in the September 2018 applicants thread before today!) - has anyone deferred their oath ceremony and, if so, how long before you heard back from them about it?
I received an invitation to oath ceremony last Friday (only took the test on Wednesday, 13th November!) but I cannot attend on that date (4th December) so I emailed the address given in the email. In the email I included the reason I cannot attend (will not be in Canada) , some suggested dates that would work for me and also a note that I can, of course, attend most dates and understand that they cannot necessarily accommodate individual preferences/requests for dates.
To that email, I got an auto-reply saying to send a letter to the Mississauga centre with reason for not being able to attend so I have done that including the same information as in my email. I expect that letter will get to them this week (posted on Saturday 16th Nov in downtown Toronto) and am wondering when I am likely to hear from them with a new oath date. Any thoughts or experience welcome!
Also, might be worth noting that at the interview bit after my test, I did ask the woman about deferring and what could be done and she said it was fine to contact them with any dates you knew you would be out of the country so that you don't get a test scheduled when you already know you cannot attend.
Thanks!
