Do we know how long does it take for the citizenship certificate to come after Oath
Did you get any email yet? How do you know it's online oath?

Hi!

Interview lasted for less than 10 minutes only. They just wanted to check the ID's, travel document and wanted to confirm the time I was out of country. Didn't really check the details, they just asked where did you go and why and thats it with no dates. Towards the end, she just apologized fir the delay in processing and she said I should be expecting the Oath email within 2-4 weeks (Which I received later on same day)

Not sure which office my file is at. All the best to you!

Was there any email you received for the interview?
I ask this to find out if there's an email address you can share that will be helpful for others.

Hi!

There was an email that I received for the interview. It came through IRCC.WestCitizenshipEApp-EappOUESTCitoyennete.IRCC@cic.gc.ca.

Hope it helps.

For some reason it now shows two Oath ceremonies scheduled for me March 14th and April 11th when I check online in the tracker. I have attended the March 14th one as that's the only one which was sent in the email with instructions . Waiting on citizenship certificate now.

All the best to everyone who are waiting.

This thread has gotten quiet as I assume a lot of people have received their citizenship. I am still waiting and getting quite anxious. It's almost been a year since I wrote the test. Anyone else here still waiting?

Citizenship Processing time now reduced one more month to 22 months.
Citizenship Processing time now reduced one more month to 22 months.
After reading and comparing a lot of cases my conclusion with all this mess is: 90% of applicants are done with the process in 12 months or even less
The reste of us for some reason it can take 2 or 3 and some times 4 years and trust me some people have been waiting since 2019 ( see it on a facebook groupe )
the million dollars question is why
And I think its because of our immigration history ( the way you came to this country and the way you got your PR )
