    An in-person ceremony didn't matter to me at all, so I was content to accept a zoom version, especially given I know the in-person ceremony really does matter for a lot of people. Anyway, it sounds like you deserve your wait. Enjoy it, my friend! I enjoyed sitting in my comfy armchair at home...

    Citizenship ceremony done via Zoom this morning. I emailed the oath form immediately at the end of the ceremony and have already been able to download the citizenship certificate via the portal approximately 2 hours later. All done. Good luck to everyone else.

    I don't think you need to travel back to Canada, you should be able to request a reschedule. It is frustrating but you'll need to wait until you get the invite letter by email so you have the email address of the office scheduling your ceremony. Then you can email them to explain. I used the...

    Unless there is something else stopping you travelling without first obtaining a Canadian passport, you can just make your travel plans while you wait for the ceremony invitation. If you get an invitation with a date while you are away (or before you leave without enough time to apply for the...

    Good point, I went back and checked and I had just imagined that bit - I read 'attend' as meaning in-person, but of course it could mean attending a virtual ceremony. Edited my post.

    Yeah, thankfully the processing time website explains "This processing time is how long we expect it will take us to process an application if we receive it today." if you expand the section on how it is calculated. So hopefully we will be a lot faster than 13 months! I find checking progress...

    Probably not what you want to hear, but my advice is 'wait'. I have a similar timeline to you, and when I applied the estimated processing time website said 9 months. We are around 6 months into that 9 months, so until we get to the 9 month mark what's the point in worrying? And even then, it's...

    For some people (myself included), the test pass isn't updated even after the test window has passed. If you look at the tracker spreadsheet, it seems to be relatively common. I wouldn't worry. I passed 27 June, no update on the tracker yet.

    I'm going to assume our files with the same officer and they're on vacation :D

    I passed the test on 27 June, the first day of my test window. No updates on the tracker since 24 June. Fingers crossed we will see some movement soon! On the spreadsheet, it looks like it is not uncommon for people to wait 4-6 weeks to see an update regarding the passed test on the tracker.
