Anyone taken the Oath of citizenship when test not needed?

[Fawny43]

Just curious if anyone has been invited to take the Oath of Citizenship and Not needed to do the test? I know I can't be the only person on here that is not required to take the test due to age, and has Not been interviewed in person since the pandemic closed everything down.
I have been in process since November 5, 2019 and I am still waiting for the next step.
Anyone else?..???

Yes. I didnt need to take the test but was interviewed online. Same thing as the test/interview without the test. A few questions and ID check. I have my Oath ceremony on Tuesday

Hi, I applied through Canadian Forces route so not typical. I applied in jan 20, in process Sep, interview Dec 20. Moved to DM this week and Oath notice yesterday for next Tuesday. At the interview I was warned there may be a delay with security clearance but that seems to have opened up. I think this will all start moving for everyone now.

Schuffi. Thank you for your time and information. I am in hopes that the processing stage of the application process is speeding up. I have been in process since November 2019 and don't have much hope that they will get their act together and get my application done, but I can hope. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR CITIZENSHIP.

I've felt the same. These Forces Applications were known to take around 3 months flash to bang in 2019 and before. My view is that they've worked out how to overcome the Covid difficulties interview/test and Oath so they'll be catching up. Don't lose hope, I know how you feel. I was told security clearance could take months and months but it ended up being around 6 weeks . Once you get an immigration officer assigned to your file they are pretty helpful at least The Calgary team are.
