Hi folks. I applied for Citizenship on Dec 29, 2025. I completed the test in April. I happened to check the my CIC account on May 17 and saw that I have been invited for the oath ceremony on May 29, however I haven't got any email invitation. Has anyone faced a similar issue?

Check your junk folder. IRCC’s process is to send the oath invitation at least 7 days before the ceremony, sometimes earlier depending on the office. If you still don’t see the email, call IRCC to confirm your ceremony details.

Questions to the folks who have attended in person oath ceremony, Do we get the e certificate as well if we have opted for e certificate while submitting the application ?
That picked my attention? I did not know they practice interviews. Any clue about why they invited you? (if not a secret)
Practice tests make all the difference.
Reading the guide wasn't enough for me,so I used an app I found for mock tests. It has over 1,000 questions and helped me a lot. It has flashcards and simplified study materials. Plus, it's free.
