June 2019 citizenship applicants

[carielilviztie]

I also applied in June and in process since October. I am over 54, so no test or proof of language required. Best of luck to all.

I am in the same boat, haven't received anything yet as of June 4, 2020. I applied from Toronto. Please update if you heard anything after your post?

We are on the same boat, i applied last june 2019 but till now no news from ircc.

Members,

I just want to reconfirm about question 5 relating to the names. I haven't changed my name in my life. So shall I leave that blank or I need to put my Current name there as well in the table.

Thanks.

Given that application processing slowed down dramatically in March, this may feel more dramatic than it is. They may simply have been checking on travel records (if there's many it can take longer) or similar and then things stopped up for a while. You could fill out the form on their web page and ask for an update though:

Hi everyone, did any of you received an invitation for virtual ceremony on July 1, 2020 nationwide. To be hosted by eventbrite.

It appears the ceremony is primarily for frontline workers during the COVID-19 crisis.

You can attend as a spectator though:

I watched the July 1 virtual citizenship ceremony live and there were only 19 people who swore the oath from 13 different countries..

Yes so the good news is that they have the infrastructure now. Hopefully they will do more ceremonies...

Hi everyone,

Just finished my virtual oath ceremony this morning. I'm a June 2019 applicant at the Scarborough office whose 1st oath on April 20 was cancelled.

Happy to answer any questions about the ceremony! Hang in there, everyone!

Kindly accept my heartiest congratulations on becoming Canadian. My oath was scheduled for 31st March 2020 and still waiting.
Would you kindly share whether you have received invitation for virtual oath on phone or through email and as to whether you
are front line worker and as general as we are. You reply will give some relief. With kind regards.

Thank you! I am neither a frontline worker nor did I apply for urgent processing. I received a call on June 22 scheduling me for an oath on July 3, email July 1, and then a follow up confirmation call on July 2.
I detailed my experience here, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/no-update-from-ircc-on-citizenship-oath-ceremony-next-steps.682067/post-8700416.
Hang in there! They’re moving, albeit slowly, good luck and I hope you hear some good news soon!
