I haven't taken Oath yet, but from other members' experience, their PR card has been taken away.

Hi,
the citizenship cards are taken at the time of oath ceremony.
Changing the oath ceremony date is possible, but be prepared for long time waiting until you'll get the second one.

Hey guys,

I was trying to find any similar situations to mine but had no luck. I have applied in January, my file processing started in February, in May I got test invite and passed 20/20 in June. Early July I got a letter with a request for my I-94s (US travel history), I've responded immediately and they've received it on July 20th.

Just recently I've got my ATIP and while everything is passed but the "Eligibility - Physical Presence" it looks that as of November 11th NO ONE touched my file since July 20th... Is there any action I can take or should I just keep waiting patiently?

You may try to send them a message by using the web-form. Just ask them if everything is in order with your application.
It seems to help sometimes.

A while back I sent my processing timeline in this thread. But I think it was not added in the spreadsheet. I became citizen a couple of weeks ago and here is my complete timeline:

Single application
Physical presence 1253.5
Application sent January 26
Application received January 29
AOR: February 28
IP: April 24
FP request: July 13
FP sent: July 27
Test invite: August 20
Test date: September 4
DM: September 29
Oath invite: October 11
Oath ceremony: November 1st
Processing office Montreal.

I guess it might help for future applicants.

Thanks everyone for all the tips on this forum.

And best luck for the ones who are still waiting.

Thank you for your reply

So take the PR Card at the time of test or ceremony?

I am asking because I have test on 4th December and I am travelling in January so if I right a test and can travel before taking oath or not.

Thank you that helps.

so i can travel after test, I have to change the date of oath and have to wait long time when they reschedule the oath date.
