Anyone has experience requesting to change from in-person to virtual ceremony?

How long does it take for the officer to respond after requesting?

Thanks!

haven’t received my citizenship test invite yet. I see that many people who received their AOR in October have already gotten their test invitations.

Is anyone else still waiting for a test invite who got their AOR in October?
I’ve been checking the tracker almost every hour for the past four weeks, hoping for some good news.

Any suggestions? Do I just need to wait longer?

Anyone who got AOR in the first week of October still waiting for a test invite?

I think you will have a better response in the August 2025 applicant thread as you are an August applicant. The vast majority of July applicants have already done their test.

Called today to know Vancouver office is my primary office even though I am based in London Ontario. Waiting on LPP still. Looks like that might take a while as I see some comments saying Vancouver office is slow.
