Thank you for the comment. I didn't know it goes by decision made and not the test date. Many of the people who had their tests LOOOONG after me already have their passports in hand! I am do very depressed about this waiting game that I see absolutely no end in sight...
That is just my guess and observation. Don't be depressed, your oath is on its way :) Just wait few more weeks

Thank you Shaazdeh! I am trying to stay positive hopeful but it is becoming harder and harder to keep that mandate in mind. I even filled an ATIP request, hoping that the info can give me a clue as to why my file is being ignored for oath... :'(
Thank you for the encouragement...

As your file is DM now, there is nothing to be worried about. It is on the queue to get oath :)

Hi everyone!

I applied for citizenship in July 2014.

Started processing around January 2015.

Got invite for test on March 14th, 2015.

Still awaiting oath letter. No change online to DM. No correspondence from citizenship after test letter.

Any thoughts why it is taking this long?

I can only suggest requesting an ATIP to see the notes on your file. They're free and they should take no more than a month to arrive. It seems that you should ask for notes on the file and not the file itself as apparently asking for the complete file delays the process.

Had my test yesterday at Scarborough (My file must have been transferred from Mississauga).

They let you into the test room exactly at the stipulated time!!!

Go to the washroom before your test time because your interview is just after the test.

Test went well - 20/20. I read the book 2x and did not do any additional questions on the web. Don't waste your money buying study materials etc etc. Test is really easy if you UNDERSTAND the Discover Canada book. Did it in 4 minutes. Some people I saw finished even before me!

Interview was good. The folks there are respectful and are easy to talk to. Verified all documents and spoke about a few of my entry and exits. The officer had a glance through the passports and had a good casual discussion of my job.
Interview was max 10 minutes. Just make sure you bring your landing paper and your ID and all the docs you provided.
Was told everything was OK and had no concerns and I will hear from them 2 to 4 months. Pretty much standard I guess.

Tips for interview : Be honest, answer their questions, don't go off topic and treat them with respect. Greet them and thank them at the end. After all they are doing their job just like us. They have to siphon out the cheats and liars who cheat the system. If you are not guilty of anything, you have nothing to worry.

Hey Sid,

Did they instruct you to apply for passport after a week?
