My wife oath is done today. Scarborough office. Clerk asked if she's OK with the e-certificate and asked her to send the signed oath form after the oath ceremony. Total process took roughly about 1hr 30 mins.

Well then..

Got my oath email with the date today for
November 14 - online.

Haven't checked my tracker since October 29th and just went to check my emails now and it was there... checked tracker after and LPP was completed on October 27th. (Which didn't show yet on Oct 29) Oath notice on tracker Oct. 31.

This was a great surprise.. I was losing faith for a moment...

Had my oath today lasted 2 1/2 hours . Bilingual. Montreal office. Lots of new citizens.:)

I will come back and do my last update once I have my passport. (Will be applying in person)

Not sure anyone else is waiting from this 2022 February group: if so.. hope your oath date is coming soon too.

The e-certificate was available 3-4 days after ceremony.

I applied for passport on the 29th of November.

Should arrive by 8 January...hopefully.:)

Those whose application processing gets stretched mostly face interview. Its a pretty normal one.
