Admin,
Please update my info. I received my citizenship certificate on Friday, Feb 15.
Good Luck to everyone who are waiting. It's a long process but it's worth it!
Cheers!

Please Update.

Got an email from CIC-Halifax last Friday Feb-15 informing me that some information was missing in the application ( return date from Sept 2013). I emailed them back on same evening.

I checked the online status and it says Decision Made (Not sure when it changed).
Hopefully not a bad decision... Lol...

Decision Made: Feb 22

Cheers!

It is now a fete accompli!
Did oath yesterday in Vancouver... very exciting day for me. The feeling is inexpressible.
Today on ECAS I see this line "You became a Canadian citizen on February 21, 2019"
Many thanks to you all on this forum, you enriched and
made the load of waiting much light.
Admin, thank you and please update the spreadsheet.

I got the following typical answer from IRCC today, what does that mean?


Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We verified the information provided and can confirm that your application is still in process.

While the processing times may vary with each case, we will make all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible.

Rest assured that we will communicate with you once a decision is taken.

We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry
This seems to be a standard reply, but because it is mentioned - "We verified the information provided and can confirm that your application is still in process."- it seems one your applications is in process. I you call them you may get details and if they confirm the same on phone, as them your application number, which is usually provided in AOR. If they give you application number, then definitely it is in process and you have missed/lost AOR email.

Did the test yesterday at Mississauga. Was told that the test session with 120 applicants was the largest crowd ever. Also, the interviewer told me that they are organizing big test sessions for next 4 weeks straight. So, guessing Mississauga applicants can hope to get test invites sooner than later.

That is a lot of people. How long did it take you from registering to walking out the door?

Test was at 7:45 AM. Arrived at 7:25. Check-in started at 7:45, test started around 8:15. I finished in a couple of minutes, so was called in for interview early too. Hence, out at 8:30.

I called them so many times, and they said they have email reply from the processing center that they have the envelop but it's not open yet, and no application number or anything else shown in the system.
