Ok now I’m stressed. My back up plan for my already booked vacation in January was to get an American tourist visa. I filled out the application (which is way more lengthy than the Canadian citizenship application) paid a none refundable fee of $253 to find out that they don’t have appointments available until 2025!!! I’m just waiting for LPP to clear and oath… what are the chances I get it before October?

You can keep checking for the America visa appointment to see if anyone has cancelled to get earlier date. My friend did this but you have to check every day especially in evenings

Keep checking as dates open up for US visa appointments.. but to be more optimistic, you should get a decision. Long before January ✌

If you have specified email in your paper application, communication will be via email.
You should sort out your email issue as for oath, email has details.

THE CLOUDS HAVE PARTED AND THE SUN SHINES DOWN UPON ME TODAY FRIENDS!

I have received Decision Made status on ECAS. I’m assuming it’s a positive decision or I would have received a PFL or interview.



My test was marked sometime in the last week after about 5 weeks (yay not invalidated!!) and LPP completed yesterday (showing today on ECAS.)

I am over the moon and can’t wait to get my oath invite. I was really down this past week but just kept telling myself,
“There is another version of you on the other side of this who is a citizen. She is proud of you and cheering you on!”

So friends, I am cheering you on! This all SUCKS let’s not mince words. But It’s always darkest before dawn, can’t have rainbows without rain, smooth seas never made a good captain, etc.

What a great way to start my Saturday! I hope good news is coming soon to all of you still waiting. I’ll be on here until I take my oath and then I hope to never come around again honestly hahaha.

Interesting as the tracker says I was scheduled for the test on July 7th. The window is July 12-Aug 1, and the invitation was not received yet
I received my invitation 1 day before my test window. After the strike, they put on a notice on my tracker that you should check your junk email and contact them if you haven’t received an invite 6 days before the test. You might get it this week before your test window starts.

Question please: when can one expect an email for a test invitation if the tracker says a person was scheduled for the test?
I received mine only two days before the test.
