Any Kitchener applicants that recently got their virtual oath scheduled? Or is the VO non-dependent on location?

Been checking eCAS a few times per week since I took the test on Feb 6, and interestingly enough I checked right after my previous post above and saw my status had changed to Decision Made. Happy to see a sign of life in my application process. Btw I can almost guarantee my case was not non-routine, I am from a Scandinavian country with no travel gaps or red flags (that I know of...), so not sure why it took 6 months to change to DM (other than COVID).

Oh I know. On Sunday I started reviewing the process for renewing my PR. Hope I don’t have to. Took 6 months for DM after I passed the test in Feb.
