Hi Everybody:
Thank you very much for all your congratulations, good wishes and positive feedback.
Here is my final update:
After I got the news through my lawyer, that my application was approved on April 2nd, I waited until April 26, and as there was still no oath invitation I sent a fax to the local office requesting to expedite the process and give me the date asap. I referred to compassionate and humanitarian grounds, as I need to arrange treatments for a parent, who is severely ill and is living abroad.
On April 29th I called CIC call centre and an agent told me, that the invitation was sent to me on Monday, April 28. She read the text to me, so I could plan my trip. The letter arrived 3 days later stating the oath date of May 22. E-cas was updated one day after I received a letter (I was curious and looked to see, if the thing works. It does, but slowly).
It means, that if nothing bad happens, I will have my ceremony on May 22nd.
It took me "just" 42 months from application to the ceremony. All in all it was quite an unpleasant experience, which was expensive in terms of time, money and nerves. But on the positive side: it seems to be over.
Those, who sent me a PM regarding my lawyer, please send me another one, if you are still interested in finding a Toronto-based lawyer for your Mandamus case.
I wish the best of luck to you all and the speediest processing of your applications!
Cheers,
walitys
