Looks like Kitchener has scheduled 9 ceremonies between April 13–19 (per https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ceremonyceremonie/en/Home) —finally picking up the pace!
Just sharing here since I know a few people in this thread from KW have been waiting for their oath invites.

Update: I just received my in-person oath invitation letter (April 22, 2026), and the ceremony location is in Cambridge, even though the email was sent from the IRCC Kitchener office.

Interesting. I do not see Cambridge among cities where ceremonies occur in Ontario:

• London
• Kitchener
• Ottawa
• Mississauga
• Scarborough
• North York
• Niagara Falls

Yeah, I thought the same until I received the letter. It looks like the ceremony is being held at a library in Cambridge.

Anybody taking their oath in Scarborough on May 6th?

Also, for those who have applied for their passport, I am not clear on the guarantor and reference requirements. Can anybody confirm if you need 1 guarantor and 2 references? Can the guarantor and references be relatives such as in-laws or siblings? TIA.

Answer here : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...s/travel-documents-references-guarantors.html

If it's TLDR, yeah, one guarantor and 2 refs, the guarantor can be family but the references cannot.

Anyone here with virtual oath ceremony scheduled on May 1?

 

[dcowboys]

Took the test 2 weeks ago but no confirmation of it being taken and tracker still says to take the test. Is that normal?

Unfortunately, yes. It took 12 days for me a month ago. You should get an update soon.
