Hey guys,

Still no update on the immigration Canada website even though I passed my test on Nov 14th. The lady who interviewed me told me to wait approx 1 to 2 months for an oath invite though.

My question is, if I want to leave the country for ~10 days around Christmas/New Years, is there anything I need to do?

Even tho if they send you oath invitation letter tomorrow your oath won’t be untill the next month so yeah you can leave country for 10 days because what I am seeing all the oath initiviations being sent out these days will be happining next month

You are right......

I dont see any oath ceremony happening after December 21. Immigration Judges most likely will be on holidays after the weekend of December 21. Also you kind of get like minimum of 2 weeks notice for an Oath Ceremony, so if you haven't gotten it now, that will be January 2019 at the earliest.

Oh cool, so I don't need to call them or anything? I'm planning to be back first week of January.

DM in almost cases means all the required checks on your file are passed. You should expect no more documents required from CIC.

Just waiting for the Oath invitation letter now. Congrats!

Oath Date:

The IRCC asked me to provide fingerprints on August 29, 2018. I submitted fingerprints to RCMP on August 30, 2018. After that, my online citizenship application status has been stuck at this step. It has been over 3 months.:confused:

I have been calling 1-888-242-2100 ext 1-1-4-1 with no avail. I'm also contacting RCMP Civil Fingerprint Screening Services (CFSS), hoping to get some info if RCMP has sent my criminal record back to IRCC. I don't think I have any criminal record at all.

The fingerprinting document indicates my application is delegated to a regional office for GTA. It's the IRCC office in Scarborough. No idea if this is the reason for the long wait.
More info: IRCC requested my fingerprints (FP) on 29 August 2018. I had it done on 30 August 2018. I also inquired about the status with RCMP. RCMP informed me they mailed the result to IRCC Scarborough office on 4 September 2018.

Many thanks to sunnybh, I have called that number using option 4-0 and reached a nice French agent at IRCC. She reviewed the case and documents and informed me they have indeed received the FP results. They are just waiting for the Scarborough office to send me the test invite. Hopefully things go well.

You can add my FP info to the notes of the tracker as well.
