Give it 3 - 5 months (sometimes more) from the date when your test was set to "Completed". There is a good amount of backlog for oath ceremonies (apparently). DM is good which means your application has been most likely approved.

We don't exactly know how long it'll take for oath but giving yourself more time (like the 3 - 5 month window) might help avoid disappointment.

This morning my online tracker has been updated, Citizenship Oath is scheduled for August 4th. Haven't received an email with the instructions yet, will probably get it closed to the date! :)
Congrats! I've updated the spreadsheet. Could you please provide the "Decision Made" date on ECAS.

Also, please post an update once you receive the oath invite email. Thanks and all the best!

Hello everyone,

My time line:

Citizenship
Location
: Vancouver
App Type: Single
Presence Days: 1,119
App Sent: May 22, 2020
App Delivered: May 26, 2020
AOR: October 27, 2020
ECAS In Progress: March 5, 2020 ( Fingerprint requested on March 15, 2021 - Provided on same day)
Test Letter: May 27, 2021
Test/Interview Date: June 4, 2021 - Test completed. Tracker showed completed on June 9, 2021.

I called IRCC and an agent that I spoke to confirmed receiving my fingerprints but didn't tell me the date. My guess is they got it in the first week of April as confirmed by RCMP. The agent told me that criminality is passed and security is in process. My background is still in process and the file is with local office - Vancouver. I see on multiple threads that the background is completed first and then you get the test request but in my case only test is showing completed on the tracker and rest everything is still in progress. I wanted to know that is it normal or the case becomes non routine if they request Fingerprints?
I appreciate your response. Thank you.
Hello group ,I’m curious to know if finger print requests are common for all applicants or is it just one of those things that can be requested randomly based on your particular application and history . Thanks
