Hey guys. It's almost a year since I submitted my online application. The last update I got was test status completed almost 3 months ago. Other than that, everything is still in progress including background check, prohibitions, language,... Is anyone else out there with the same timeline/status?

Waiting Since August. They finished the background check (June) and the test (Aug 18th). However, Lang, prohibition, and physical presence are still in process. The difference is I'm a paper application.

Congrats! Please let us know once she get the email.


Congrats. If you have the tickets already, ask the officer/clerk during the ceremony and they will offer a pick-up or expedited courier delivery for the certificate. Then you can request an appointment for express/urgent passport application. Good luck!
has anybody actually picked up in person certificate from immigration office??

I took the test today. I passed 19/20.

Thanks to those who share how and where to study.

Wha’s the next step?
You wait for the test to be marked completed and if your prohibition, language and physical presence are still pending you wait for them to be marked completed. And then either you get an interview request or you don’t and wait for the oath invitation and if you are the scarborough office like me they takes ages for most unfortunately! It’s just a waiting game now !

SCR office here. Approaching 3 month territory with everything completed but oath. From what I hear they have ceremonies already scheduled at SCR office till the end of April, people with DM status of 6+ months still waiting for an oath. Gonna be long wait.

Yh i found an old thread prior to pandemic and even then people were waiting 2/3 months after completing the test they were even saying the scr agents would tell people to not except oath for 3 months and that was back in 2017, if it was 3 months then i can’t even imagine now ! This wait is ridiculous i am thinking of contacting my MP because at this point our application is done and completed all we need is the online oath and i would like to take it online rather than have to take a day off work to do it in person because they waited too long and have to travel to downtown toronto.
Does anyone from scr office we know have all completed or are we all still waiting for that oath?

According to one participants in the thread who emailed the scr office and heard back - they are fully booked until end of april and have a pile of file to still schedule… doesnt look good - i doubt ill be able to vote in the upcoming provincial election thanks to that delay….
