Hi all, I'm in an unusual situation. I did my test on August 9. For more than 2 weeks, my test was not updated on the tracker. I sent them multiple emails, but nothing changed until August 23, when I logged into my tracker, I saw Updated but my test still shows in progress. I noticed that the orange banner that says "waiting on you" was also gone. Now I'm in limbo, not sure if I should take it as though my test was updated even though it still shows in progress. Has anyone been in this situation before? Any suggestions?

Hi guys, there’s been no movement on my file since April 26 (test completed) and my spouse’s since May 26 (languages, prohibitions, physical presence etc completed except oath).

would it be useful to email my processing Center (missisauga)? If so, can I use the same email address that I had used when intimating them that we require to take our tests from outside of Canada?

thanks in advance
Same situation here, Montreal Office.
Emailed them but had no response.

It's been more than a month since my test was marked complete. By my calculations, everything else should be marked as complete around Sept 26. What are the times people are seeing between everything being marked complete and the oath?

I have a trip to India at the start of December. There's no way I have enough time to get the passport, surrender Indian citizenship, and get an OCI.

I am considering asking them to postpone my oath until after January. Any examples of people being successful with this?
I have a friend that did the same, he just postponed the oath, went to India for a month, came back a got the oath scheduled within a weeek. Good luck !!!
