March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[armoured]

After four months of silence, that can’t just be a coincidence.

Counterpoint: it can be a coincidence.

It's like the birthday paradox, chances of two people in a group of only ~23 sharing a birthday (not year but day) is 50% - seems impossible but in fact just a coincidence of basic numbers and probability. With a fairly large number of posters here sharing dates about 'things happening', coincidences of dates that feel meaningful are inevitable. (Particularly because we only make the claim about the causal connection after the fact)

(I say as I throw a pinch of salt over my shoulder and say 'fu, fu.')

Immigration journey finally came to an end this weekend. Had my citizenship ceremony (virtual yesterday) Saturday and was told that I could download my certificate later in the week. Went onto the Portal today and was able to download it!
Ill get my passport application submitted this week!!
Good luck to all that are still waiting.

I see that your tracker updated just a week before your Oath ceremony date. When did you receive your email invite to the ceremony?

​

No email from IRCC on the Monday which was INSIDE 6 days from event, so I called the IRCC and had an excellent conversation with someone. He informed me that the email had NOT been sent out yet and they can wait until 2 business days before sending it out for a virtual ceremony. He said, if I don't hear by Thursday to call back.
Tuesday morning I received my official invite email with all the required details so all good to go.
