We finally took our oath yesterday. It was very exciting and emotional. Just have patience everyone. Hi b1b1b1, We will be applying for our Canadian passports next week. It takes 10 days to receive it. We will then cancel our Indian passport.

A friend of mine who took the citizenship exam on the same day as me received his invitation oath a while ago. However, CIC now send him another letter stating that his ceremony was postponed. I believe that this is due to the low numbers of attendees for the ceremony and that a lot of individuals who wrote the January citizenship exam will receive their oath letters within the next weeks.


One burning question to which I still do not fully comprehend/understand the logic is: Why does CIC take so long to send the oath invitations considering that all of your immigration application are ought to be process prior to taking the test? Furthermore, does anyone know if the Vancouver CIC office is generally more slower then other major cities in Canada?

Thanks, in advance.
