When the tracker shows oath ceremony in progress, does it say the date of the ceremony or when they send it

Yes tracker does shows it Once it says in progress after 2 days it got updated with the date of ceremony

Based on the google sheet, it appears that Scarborough applicants for the most part have not received updates since. Other processing centres such as Vancouver are moving at much faster speeds

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has any guidance on travelling (flying) in between oath ceremony and receiving a Canadian passport if we have to cut up PR cards? Any one know anyone with experience on the wait times, or know a good forum to check out? I believe we can travel across the land boarder with the Oath certificate. I need to do some work travel over the next few months.

I still have some waiting to go, but my timeline is below, hoping for some movement soon on language/physical presence/prohibitions

I know the feeling buddy.

I am approaching 10.5 months now, only thing completed is BG check (oct 25th). No test, or anything else.

Same boat for me. BGC completed October 21, stalled since.

This is so annoying. And given the slow pace of movement, I am beginning to have a bad feeling about this. The 24 month timeline is there for a reason, and I have a feeling I will find out exactly why the average is 24 months.

I join you guys on the same list. After BG completed on Oct 28, my car has fully stopped.

You have a right to be upset, but you are not alone. Think positive and stay positive. You will have your test soon and the rest might go a bit faster from there. Our time will come. Have faith and trust in the system. Yes, I know it is not perfect.

I really think this is not good advice at this time. In these cases, it's the hope that kills. Better to not hope than to think that the test is coming soon and oath will follow. At least that way one isn't disappointed. Might as well just adjust expectations that IRCC will get my file done by this time in 2024. That will still beat the average by 2 months :s
