    Someone else mentioned that they release new appointments a month in advance at 8pm. So I got my appointment for 22 July on 22 June, pretty much at 8pm.

    Had my appointment at 74 Victoria Street (downtown Toronto) today. 1. The appointment was at 3:20pm, I think one of the last ones you can get in the day. 2. Walked in at 3:10pm, was out in less than 10 mins. No one checked proof of travel, or the confirmation email. Just told them my name at...

    This was great advice! Thank you! Was able to grab an appointment for 22 July last night. Sure, it's a while away, but I don't have to travel till the end of August, so good enough for me.

    At this point, I think I'll save time lining up at 6am rather than looking for appointments. I've probably already spent an hour or two looking for one

    Certainly makes it more flexible. Now I'm going to wait till I'm 45 days away from travel instead of using a dummy ticket or whatever. I think as we get closer to the end of summer, the backlogs should reduce. I have no proof lol, but I feel most people travel in the summer and as we get...

    Yeah looks like it. Even their twitter account said 25 days, looks like they increased it to 45. Which might be a good thing??

    Which location did you get the appointment at? I'm surprised you got one tbh, everywhere I look it is 'This office currently has no available appointments'

    I'll definitely book tickets. Did they check how soon you're travelling? I'm confused, the website says 3 to 45 days, but a lot of people on this thread have mentioned max 25 days.

    It's my brother's graduation, so I don't have anything with my name on it. Might just book tickets that can be cancelled.

    Thanks for sharing your experience! Did they check proof of travel? Trying to figure out if I should book flight tickets before I go. I have a graduation ceremony to attend outside Canada, but the invite/ceremony ticket might not be enough to convince them.

    My sibling's graduation is in the first week of July, outside Canada. I don't have any flights or hotels booked, but I do have the invite, ticket, and related emails. Would that be enough to make a case for urgent processing? EDIT: Any other tips welcome. Reading experiences of people with...

    You'll probably receive the oath email closer to the ceremony. It took me a few days after the first update that showed the oath had be scheduled.
