March 2022 - citizenship applications

[Luce13]

Wow what a coincidence, I have the same exact timeline I hope it's an in person ceremony! Get the certificate right away and be done with it. I checked the Oath Schedule on IRCC website, but they only have dates going up until Feb 17 as of now.

I was just reading through your timeline as well and thought it was me for a second. Haha! Congratulations to us!
And I hope it’s in person too, hoping to start the passport application as soon as I can

Congrats. We have the same AOR date, test date and the same IRCC office. Hoping for the Oath date soon.

Hey Folks,

Hoping to get your advice on something.

My citizenship application is being processed by the Vancouver office and on Jan 23, 2023, I got my Physical presence, Prohibitions and Language Skills status updated as Complete.

Based on the replies above and the spreadsheet, I should get the Oath ceremony in 3 weeks or so- which is great! There is one hiccup-I recently got married and am going to Mexico with the wifey on Feb 19th for a week. I am getting super nervous as the oath date will likely be before that or in that week. Any advice on-
1. Should I try to reschedule the oath if it comes before or in that week?
2. Is first vacation after covid/honeymoon a silly reason to request postponing the oath ceremony?

Most of the expenses are non refundable and we are looking forward to the break for months now- any advise is hugely appreciated!

Do not want to disappoint but with Vancouver office and online application stats is that a lot of people get oath invite in 1-2 months after PLL is complete at best and those are Jan/Feb’22. 3 weeks are mostly paper applicants, unless Vancouver office speeds up in 2023 I would not be too worried about it - I am in the same boat and I am going to Dubai for a month in February, pretty sure we will be scheduled not earlier than March

I got my email instructions for my ceremony on February 15th, 2023 1 day after the update on my tracker (January 25). Very interesting how the ceremony will work. It will be online.

Hi, this might help as my Language/ Physical and Prohibitions were marked complete on Jan 23 as well and my timeline is quiet similar to yours. Just this morning my Oath ceremony was marked in progress, and the date is March 3! So it's safe to assume your oath will be a month or more from now if that helps. Below is my timeline:

Congratulations. What is your time line?

I just received my virtual Oath email. I live in BC, but my ceremony invite is from the IRCC MBSK email, and the ceremony is hosted in Calgary mountain time.
Feb 9, 2023
Does anyone receive the same?

 

[smash1984]

So I finally got an update today, scheduled for the test between Feb 3rd and Feb 23rd. Will likely receive the email next week so will find out which office it is. My hunch is that its Niagara Falls (I am based out of Hamilton so maybe they transferred my file here?). Will find out next week.
