What I found while waiting was that the oath invitation for 2019 applicants from Surrey/Vancouver office comes exactly 1 week before completion of 3 months after DM. so in your case you should expect oath invitation 80 days after DM, I know it sucks a lot but this is what happened in my case too.
Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for that.

I feel like i'm losing my mind during this final step.... =/

i know there is nothing else to do but wait (and keep waiting), but when I keep seeing applicants who get invite days after DM while the oldest applications get left behind.... damn, it's difficult to stay chill.

I am so looking forward to being done with IRCC...

one day, hopefully...
In the last days I was feeling depressed. Literally. I stopped checking the tracker and in hindsight I should've stopped visiting these forums. If you can just take a break from these forums, and check your tracker once at the end of the day before bed.

Thank you,

I know you are right... It is just super hard to put it into practice.
2021 hit me like a truck in every single aspect of my life and my citizenship application is just one of a million things that have gone sideways. I think I keep obsessing about this stuff cause I feel like I need a win.

On top of that, for the first time in forever, I actually do have travel plans for the summer for work/research, and I cant do that if my this isnt resolved, so that adds to the stress.

But yeah, I try to check the tracker just one a day (i think they update it overnight, so I do it in the morning)... although I keep think about it all the time, I have not been able to switch that off.

Hope the passport wait is over for you!

Good Morning Guys,
I just checked that I'm scheduled for oath for May 6th. I still haven't received any email with the details. Will wait till tomorrow and then call IRCC.
Any feedback is welcome as to when one gets the oath email

Yeah, I just did. I was too excited to have this messed up. They mentioned that I should have the details 24-48 hrs prior to the ceremony.
Congrats!

Yeah, good thing you called.

For my test, I got the info 2 days before the window opened (on the tracker it appeared 2 weeks before). Best of luck for May 6th!

Would you mind sharing your timeline and office? Thanks!

Oh, never mind, just saw it on the tracker... but when did you get DM?

Do you know where to check the date when DM was made? My DM was made but it doesn't tell me when

I've been posting in this thread but should be posting in the July 2019 thread because that's when I sent in my application. Soon to hitting my third year anniversary of no citizenship! Yaay! (tears)

You should be able to check it on the tracker, ideally Decision made is considered when all your prerequisites are set to completed, the only thing left should be the oath ceremony.

Okay that makes sense; all the prereq's are set to complete and they're dated and yes, perpetually waiting for the oath ceremony :)
