AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

[emerald1594]

Hey! I'm still waiting for their email invitation to oath so I can reply them to ask for a change of date. I expect them to email me a week before the scheduled date (so around Jan 30, 2026, I will already be outside of Canada at this date).

I learn that they have very clear instructions on how to ask for a reschedule, so we only need to read it carefully and follow the instructions.
As I see from my friends, they take 1-2 days to respond back (but for some other people, they never receive anything)

Intentionally taking the test closer to the deadline - that's what I thought of as well, but I didn't do it in the end. I think that can be a good strategy; and even if you receive the oath invite while you are not in Canada, staying with a loved one is a very reasonable excuse and IRCC will have no problem with it (in my opinion)

I hope your mom will feel better soon, sending prayers your way!

Thank you for your reply! I will bug you again to hear how your rescheduling process goes

Hi Am I the only one who applied on Aug 1st, AOR in September and still waiting for LPP to be completed? I have no update since December 17, and I'm trying to be patient but since my BG check was completed a few days after AOR, I wonder why it takes them so long to review LPP?

I believe you should receive the oath letter one week before the oath date at the latest.

Quick question - I just got my test invite and it says to take the test anywhere within a month of the dates specified. How is it when they schedule the Oath ceremony? Do they give you a date or give you an option to choose from a set of dates? I'm planning to travel for 5 weeks after my test, so i'm wondering if i should put it off for after the Oath or before....

Welcome to BC, where everything is beautiful, slow and expensive

How do you guys get this Primary office, secondary office information?
I live in Vancouver, and my AOR letter signature said CPC Sydney. I don't have any other information.
(and my citizenship test invitation was from Team 2 but I am not sure if that necessarily means for the rest of the process it's the same team who deals with you file, it could just be that we get assigned to teams for the test because they have to check the recordings etc.?)

Anyway my LPP completed Jan 19, got marked on tracker on Jan 21 but still no change in Oath situation.
