Vancouver applicants: let's post updates

[jonka5]

Looks like the Vancouver office has completely shut down operations (at least based on updates on this forum). Losing all hope at this point.

Let's post any/all updates to help one another to get through this nightmare together.

Where did you get this information?

There has been a huge wave of test invitations in late Aug and some folks have received their DMs recently (last one I see in Sept 9):

Wait may feel unbearable, but the finish line is near, don't despair

There's another Vancouver office thread here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/vancouver-citizenship-test-invite-masterthread.721269/

After a couple of online complaint forms to IRCC and a handwritten letter to the Vancouver office asking how their oath "queue" actually works my wife is finally invited to take the oath on October 8th. We had contacted a lawyer to start the mandamus process but will not need to continue with that at this point.

So, is it about 2 months in Vancouver's office between DM and Oath invite?
I wonder if I reach 3 years in total, if reach March-22 ))

Nobody knows. I’ve been waiting almost 3 months since DM and it’s been radio silence.

For my wife, DM -> Oath will have been about 3 months.
