HI makalakon
congratulation!! how was your ceremony? my statu change since last week and i'am supposed to pass the oath July 20 but I stil do not receive the email with all information could you pleas tel me what date did you receive your email "
Thanks
Hi Bitologue,
Thanks!Ceremony was quick (about 1hr). I received the email with the invitation to the ceremony 4 days after my status was updated on the online tracker. If your oath is on the 20th I’m fairly sure that you should have received it by now. Did you check your spam folder? If it helps, the subject of the email is “Notice to Appear: To take the Oath of Citizenship – by video Cxxxxxxxx(your case #)”.

It could take anywhere between 4 business days and 6 weeks for the citizenship certificate to arrive. Once you receive the citizenship certificate, you can apply for a passport. The current processing time is around 20 - 30 business days for passport mail-in application.

Congrats. That's Decision Made. I've updated the spreadsheet.

I'm surprised you received an acknowledgement for the submitted passport pages. Do you know which office is currently processing your application? You could find that out by looking at the email ID from which you received the passport pages request.

Thank you!

Office is Scarborough. I was surprised too because I've heard Scarborough is slow. The email came from an officer's direct email. But the email body said:
