    Applicants in "ALL GREEN ZONE" awaiting CEREMONY

    Yes, and I applied for the passport the same day, despite IRCC saying we must not apply within 2 business days.

    What about her credit card statement? Or health bills? Phone plan? Health insurance? I'd write a letter to explain the situation as well.

    Yes, they did! I know it's weird, but it's a special in-person ceremony and someone will even come from Ottawa. I googled it, it's probably because it's the citizenship week...

    Decision Made is shown under "Citizenship Application Status" on the ECAS homepage. But there's no update on the history page.

    No, that's not true. I have been waiting for a month since I got my DM, still haven't received the oath invitation...

    Vancouver Office Citizenship Applicants

    Me too... I can't complain yoo much compared to people who have been waiting for years, but I'm almost done, just waiting for the oath. But I see people who got LPP done after me having the oath. It doesn't make any sense and it's quite frustrating...

    e-Passport Next Generation: New Canadian Passport Design 2023

    I can't believe it!! I heard rumors a while ago, but I thought it would be greatly delayed because of COVID and the strikes. They'll probably use polycarbonate for the biometric page, which makes the passport much more durable. Thanks for sharing @shiremag, as always.

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    If you're right, then yes, they can't afford to be on strike for too long. And that's good for us! I feel like the maximum they can do (also based on the previous strikes) is like 2 weeks. What's 2 weeks compared to the entire processing time? I just hope people will be rescheduled quickly for...

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    It would be great, but I don't have high hopes... It didn't seem like they wanted people who applied before January this year to get e-certificates. And the new self-administered oath (if implemented!) might only apply to new applicants and/or people who weren't scheduled for the oath in the...

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    I think strike pays come from the union, not the government. They have saved a lot of money since the last strike and that's why they can afford to go to strike. I don't know how long it can last though.
