November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[moman21]

Yes, we basically knew that about the in-person and certificates. Was more mentioning because of the specific instructions at ceremony that need to wait before applying for passport.

It's exactly as you said. They probably validate after the ceremony to ensure only those that show up get marked as citizens. so that's probably why they ask for the 3 days. It takes time for the database to update and if someone rushes to get a passport, the certificate may come back as invalid or something.
Whereas the digital certificate is sent after the ceremony so the validation is down beforehand.

Has anyone had any experience with interviews in London, ON? I was just called in for an interview in-person there. What happens after that?

The letter/email usually tells you why the called you in. Often times is to validate what you put in your application, such as physical presence (so passport stamps, trips, etc), and other things. Take all your documents, especially what they ask for in letter.
Don't panic, most people who go through the interview report back that it's a straight forward conversation and doesn't last long. Just be honest and truthful and you'll be fine.

after calling rcmp i called IRCC again yesterday, and told them that RCMP had mailed the results on 21st. But IRCC said they haven’t received the results yet, and call back if my status is not updated until March 13th, which is next week.
they also confirmed that my test is marked complete from their end, and the tracker might take a few days to update.

I just got my oath invite email. March 26. I'm an October applicant, but November AOR. I was in the Feb 21st cohort for FPR with RCMP to Vancouver. See my signature for a link to MyImmiTracker with the timeline. I haven't updated anything with the oath yet.

Congratulations, its a huge relief for you. Thank you for all of your information shared especially the FPR related which also helped me. My FP results were mailed on Feb 26. Background is still in progress. It give us a relief as well by seeing post like this as it indicates the applications are moving.

im pretty sure IRCC physically received the results mailed on the 21st, but have not “received”, or entered them into the system.

Hello all, I am waiting for citizenship Oath outside Canada. All other steps completed. My plan is to take flight to Canada immediately when I receive the invitation.

I saw a picture of other persons invitation letter and I have a question: letter said that you need to contact them by email if you are outside Canada and explain your situation. Should I send them an email anyway even I am coming to Canada before Oath? Or does it mean you need to contact them if you are not able to come to the scheduled Oath?

Thank you for any comments.

I would suggest to wait for your oath letter and follow the instructions there. Most likely in my opinion they only want you to send them emails if you cannot make the oath because you will not be in Canada by that time.
