July 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Sandra141]

Almost at the finish line now. Something happened yesterday. So I took the advice of Jakev on this thread and emailed the Scarborough office requesting for the oath ceremony date to be scheduled ASAP. To my surprise, I got a response 5 minutes later telling me they have scheduled it for August 9. WOW. I also checked my portal today and saw that it has been updated with my ceremony date. That was quick. I wonder what the story would have been if I didn't email them.

UPDATE: I got my ceremony scheduled for August 9.

Here is my updated timeline.

Applied online - Toronto - July 14, 2021
AOR - October 6
Scheduled for citizenship test - March 4
Citizenship test taken and updated - March 17
Physical presence and language skill marked as complete - June 30
Prohibitions marked as complete - July 5
Oath ceremony scheduled - July 6

Hey Folks, I received a request today for scanned copies of my passport and other travel documents. I’m an online applicant. Does anyone here have the same experience?

Any update since then? I hope it doesn't make the application take longer

THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know this. I emailed them yesterday and got a response within 5 minutes giving me a date for my ceremony. Today I logged in and saw that my tracker has been updated with my ceremony date. Wow. I was shocked to get a response so quickly and believe I got this update quickly as a result. Being proactive has paid off in this regard. Thank you sooooo much!

Told ya ! Blessings.

Thank you so much

Hey congratulations. I have similar timelines AOR- October 15, Test Taken and updated March 22 and no update since then. I also applied online from Toronto, possible for you to message me the Scarborough office email address and what did you write to them so that I can also request some movement on my file. I have written back on the email that I received the test invite from and got an automated response which did not say much.

Update : After a long silence since 26 Jan 2022 since the passed test. Today Old e-cas shows the decision made. The new tracker shows completed all except Citizenship ceremony --> Not started.

How many days do it take to schedule an oath ceremony?

Depends on your office - SCR does schedule you one for immediately if you ask them.

They won’t reply if it’s not decision made- just a heads-up.

Congrats! What did you say in your email? Like did you say you are traveling soon? I'm being processed by Niagara Falls and wondering if I should try emailing them. I've been at DM since June 10. I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to my file and cause delays or cause them to rethink things
