I got DM in January 2022 (can’t remember the exact date now) which is strange because everything except oath was completed in June 2021. My wife got her DM around 17th December 2021.

So I also got everything completed on 01 Mar, 2022 (except for oath not started) . But in my old ECAS, I still see in process. No DM yet.

Hopefully it changes soon and you get scheduled for oath ceremony. It is highly possible that once the old ecas changes to DM, your oath ceremony status changes to ‘in progress’ within days. All the best.

Just finished my oath. Officially Canadian. Good luck to everyone else waiting.

I wouldn't count on it. I would renew my PR card. It's safer in case you need to leave urgently.

I would recommend renewing as we dont know what the future holds, I did renew mine while applying for citizenship in case of all the delays we are all currently experiencing,. waiting for my ceremony too.

I have been waiting for almost 2 years now. Been stuck on In process after my test in November last year. Is there anything that can be done? I am alone with no family and relatives and looking forward to visit my husband after citizenship as his TRV was refused. So, I am stuck.

That’s terrible. Don’t lose hope and patience, like you there are many thousands other going thru the same torture.
Try reaching the call centre first, i know they are always busy and your call might disconnect, but keep trying and you will connect with an agent.
You can also submit a complaint via webform.
Last resort, reach out to media CBC/CTV and write them en email explaining your situation and how IRCC hasn’t processed your citizenship file in 2 years time.

Hello folks,
Has anyone had their test completed in May 2021 and still awaiting decision? My timeline (family application - myself, wife and child) is as follows:
Applied June 21, 2020 (Mississauga)
AOR for all: October 23, 2020
Moved to Burlington, updated address (April 2021). Test completed: May 17 and 29 (wife), 2021. Online status unchanged since.
Had sent a web query yesterday. Any insight is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rene
