Anyone from Vancouver awaiting Oath invitation over the last 3 months after "Decision Made"?

My application is in a limbo since DM -
  • Application Date - October 2019
  • Decision Made - August 18, 2021
  • Oath Ceremony - Not Started
Please share your timelines and if anyone has been able to get hold of the Vancouver office. Thank you!

I'm not as far along as either of you, but I've noticed the Van office is extremely slow.

I did my test on September 12, and to date have not even received decision made. August 2020 applicant.

They ARE slow. DM since August 31, 2021. I asked through the web form and filled out my UCI. A week later, I was told the wait time for oath invite was 3-6 months after DM, but I saw people got oath invites just two months after DM on the tracker.

I have got an automated response when I submitted the web form. I will re-submit again!

Applied: December 2019
Online Test completed: March 2021
DM: November 2021
Oath: Not Started
I had a 9 month wait after my test for a DM, so I am not anticipating an oath invite anytime soon knowing my ridiculous wait after completing my test. I do hope that the Vancouver office starts processing 2019 files and finishing it up, it is absolutely unfair when you see mid 2020 and 2021 files being processed so quickly.

That seems like a long wait. Did you ask them about the delays?

Multiple times I had webform sent, for which the response in July was next step was oath ceremony once everything was finalized.. After that the Afghanistan situation evolved and there were no answers to any queries I sent. I finally sent a request for ATIP notes and sent a feedback request in October and then magically in November I had a DM. However, knowing that I have had to wait for such a long time, my luck is that we would have to wait for an oath invite indefinitely as well. Its absolutely ridiculous how 2019 are being treated.

It doesn't make sense Vancouver office is the slowest office, because IMO this office has fewer cases compared to some east coast offices. Now, the entire office is missing in action.

Yes, of course, they fast for 2021 applications, but 2019 applicants are waiting for 2-3 years now.
In March-2022 will be 3 years mark for me, I'm quite seriously waiting for this.
