I made a huge mistake. I did not update my address with CIC after moving.
As a result I missed the letter and the oath ceremony.
Now I need to send them a letter with explanation for a new oath date. If I tell them
the truth do you guys think they would accept it?

It is always better to tell the truth. Please give a reason to them on why you forgot to update your address.

It was Mississauga. I was afraid if they would accept this as a valid reason. But I think it is better to tell them truth.

How long did it take CIC to reschedule your oath? I missed mine because I received the oath invite a week after the scheduled date. No updates to ECAS either. Sent them an explanation letter on 7 December. Have not heard anything since.

Just received my oath invite for the rescheduled oath on 2 March. ECAS not updated. Missed my first oath as I received the invite a week after the scheduled oath day.

I did call the CIC call center. But they were not of any help other than confirm that CIC had received my explanation letter and I have to wait my turn for the rescheduled oath.
