Are the oath scheduling people all on vacation?

I should know better by now, but somehow I'm becoming more impatient as I near the end...:confused:
I'm feeling the same. Been refreshing the tracker everyday, every hour to see when my oath process will start

Hi Folks,

The following has been my citizenship application timeline:
1. Application (Physical) mailed for grant of Citizenship: May 14, 2021
2. AOR received: July 12, 2021
3. Fingerprints requested Nov 30, 2021.
4. Fingerprints provided Dec 02, 2021
5. Fingerprints shown as received on online tracker Jan 04, 2022
6. No movement in tracker since then

My application is still in progress and completion of 12 months (average time for citizenship grant) since application receipt is around the corner. Is this normal or is progress too slow? Are there any other applicants who have a similar situation?

One more question: has anyone had any luck in the past contacting their local MP or even IRCC Minister in getting some traction for their application?

Thanks in advance!

So have a question... Once your test is completed and updated in the tracker, what is the next step? I see some applicants have the remaining status updated without any further queries and some applicants are getting interviews that last 30-45 minutes. Isn't there are fixed process?

Hello, I would say that things are moving extremely slow, at least for the Montreal office.
I did reach out to my MP office and I was told that the immigration part of my application was not even started (language, physical presence). I applied on May 12th 2021. Not sure how things are considered, especially because I have friends who applied in August 2021 and they are now citizens.

Thanks for the feedback. I am not complaining as I know there are other people waiting longer than me, plus, I am still within the 12 months. Hopefully we will move forward with our applications soon. Best of luck!

Wishing everyone who is outside the 12 months time limit and for those of us who are still within the 12 months a speedy processing and good news only.
Out of curiosity, the oath invite is sent from the same e-mail address we got the test invite from?

Thanks. At least there is no shortage on e-mail addresses (as I see there is one for each step) :) best of luck to all of us! :)
I believe for each office, they have their own email codification

When you get your Oath, you will replay the Oath e-mail, you have to add your seat and agent
you have to modifie the subjet in gmail

It's a boost in confidence seeing a completed case for citizenship.

Between the Test Attempt and Oath, was there an interview process? Or did you get any emails for further information?

Some applicants are posting about interview with IRCC agents regarding travel history, employment history and asking for copies of pages from passport.
