February 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[krishn22]

Hi! I actually called them yesterday and they told me to wait for the email.

She wasn't able to tell me the reason of why there is 2 dates, but she said that if the Oath was actually on August 4 we would receive an email today the latest. If the Oath is for August 10 she said July 31 was the last day to get the email, so she recommended me to call on August 1 if I dont receive the email I imagine that in your case it would be one day earlier so call by July 31 if you haven't received any email

She also said that she thinks that the right date is probably the second (August 10 in my case).

Hey @rorro, I got my email today. scheduled for oath on 04 Aug via Zoom.

How long did you wait to receive the email instruction once you have been invited to take the citizenship exam?

How long did you wait to receive the email instruction once you have been invited to take the citizenship exam?

I got the email on April 13 and on my citizenship tracker it says the update was on April 11. So 2 days in my case.

Hello all,

Here’s my timeline:

• Type of Application: Online Application
• Location: Ottawa, ON
• Type of Application: Single
• Applied Online: Jan 29, 2023
• AOR: Feb 08, 2023
• Background Completed - March 21, 2023

No further updates after this which is odd. I requested GCMS notes on May 15 but nothing yet either… anyone else waiting for the test to be scheduled?

Updates:

I got GMCS Notes on June 15th but didn't say much. I have NF as my office so it seems things are a bit slow compared to other offices.

Test Completed: July 19, 2023

Hey congrats!!!

I wanted to ask you how were you able to request an in person ceremony? Did they contact you to ask your preference? Or did you voluntarily told the processing office? If so, what did you tell them?

Also, waiting to hear from you once you receive the new redesigned passport

Congratulations once again!

Thank you! I received the Notice to Appear In-Person. I don't know they choose. What I know is that when you receive the invitation, you can send a message back saying that you prefer the other modality.

I will let you know about the passport!

Hi All, An update for my mom's application, she is over 55yo and did not get test.
First Invitation July 05, 2023 for a ceremony on July 17 2023.
I lost access to her account on July 5 and gained access again on July 17 (I checked often, 2 or 3 times a day). she missed her ceremony, she received the email and deleted it thinking it was a spam email, I know I know!.

Anyways, July 25 we received the second invitation for her ceremony to be August 03th. This time the email was not erased!!! Good luck to everyone
Language and Prohibitions were all updated on July 05 when she was first invited.

I'm probably one of the few people who doesn't care to or wanted an in person ceremony and its gonna be in person..... oh well.

Good luck to everyone else, hope you all get good news soon.

One final thing before I log off for good. I take back not wanting an in person ceremony. It was actually a very sweet experience and I wouldn't have changed a thing!
Applied for my passport today in Toronto and getting it on Tuesday.

Sayonara everyone!

What do you guys mean when you say “ghost update”?

Change in date on the top right corner in tracker without any change in status of the activities.

Had my Oath of Citizenship yesterday in Mississauga! Such a wonderful ceremony! Received the certificate just after the Oath!

If you guys want to know my dates, you can see them in the following link:

Good luck to all of you!

P.s.: now I will wait until the brand-new redesigned passport is being printed in Toronto so to apply!

Congratulations! I was wondering how were you able to attend an in-person citizenship ceremony?

I have your timeline. They took forever to send the test invite. I am not sure if a strike delayed our process.

I am applying from Burlington ON.
