All complete except Oath didnt start.

Its been 14 long months has passed. I am thinking to drop an email to officer for further updates since 08 Jan about Oath. Any suggestions? What are their emails where i can expect a reply?
Hi @ftahir,

You can write to the email that you received the test invitation and ask about when the oath will be scheduled. Seeing that you have a decision made, the expected response will be:

You are in the queue to be scheduled for a ceremony. Once you have been scheduled, we will contact you by email. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with an estimated timeline at this time.
Hope this helps.



Also, can you please provide some additional info so that I can complete your record on the tracker?

I got the invitation from IRCC.DNCitMISScheduling-ConvocationMISCitRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

The MIS is, of course, the Mississauga office. and it could be different for the person I responded to.

I personally sent them an email 3 months after my test asking when my ceremony would be scheduled, and got the response I quoted...

I got DM on 10th of Jan, then a ghost update on the 14th then another ghost update on the 24th (this morning). IRCC is playing on my nerves

No update today, so the ghost update yesterday was a dud! I thought I might see ceremony in progress today or something lol

Hi,

Just gave the Citizenship test. Passed with 20/20 (on Dec 17 2021).

Concerned may please update the tracker.

Regards

PS: After successfully taking the picture of ID, Self, and answering about 9 questions, the webpage said it can't access the webcam to monitor. Upon clicking OK, it would ask for IDs again, and take me to the 10th question. But this kept on happening for 5-6 times. I realized I was using a VPN on my laptop, which I quickly disabled, and then everything went smooth and I could finish the test and the result showed 20/20 and I exited.

I am just wondering if there would be some missing recording which may cause an issue. Any thoughts?
Situation after more than 1 year 4 months of sending the application. Just sharing for record.

My test status has finally been updated to COMPLETED as of Jan 24 2022 in the tracker. Apparently, the Webcam monitoring issue I had (due to using VPN) was not an issue after all.
