My Oath is on Saturday and No invitation

[TommP]

I give up with Canadian Immigration., I applied (2) Years ago this week., finally later last year I finally done my test and received the update that I would be doing my Oath this coming Saturday. I have emailed via the Web Portal twice tried calling countless times., My PR Card has expired after waiting 2 years for my citizenship to finalize (I've had no issues to correct on my application) So no idea how this has taken 2 years., the only time any movement happened was when I had to do an Address update then they entered it incorrectly then the next movement came when I notified them it was wrong I got the Invite to the oath my address no longer shows online only my PO Box address since then nothing.

For what should be an exciting time for me I'm depressed filled with anxiety and feel like giving up. I've lived in Canada for half my life as a PR and visited every year since I was born,, I now cannot express in words how I feel right now., I have family back in the UK I cannot visit (My Gran who has deteriorated with Alzheimer's my Mother cannot come here I've not seen any member of my family for years now.) Covid is bad enough but to have a system of government with no access to discuss or hold accountable is not comprehendible to me.

Sorry if this reads like a rant, I no longer care I'm beaten.

I’m sorry for your frustration. You could have renewed your PR card if you wanted to travel.

In hindsight ya I could have tried., I had 18 months remaining on my PR with timeline for the citizenship at 12 months I thought I was covered so made little sence at the time. I have since sent in a renewal for the PR at added expense regardless of how small or large that fee might be to some. My brother for what it's worth has been waiting 18 months for his PR renewal.

Suggest you go to the Citizenship section of the forum vs. here.

So in fairness you only couldn’t travel in the last6 months. Most of us haven’t travelled in 2 years as well
