No update from IRCC on citizenship oath ceremony. Next steps?

[shine1429]

Wow congratulations!!
May I ask if you are an essential worker ? Or if you applied alone or with a family?
Maybe we can predict how they prioritise people .

Yes, applied as a family and I am not essential worker

Guys, do you know how far away a rescheduled oath would be from an initial invitation? Thinking of rescheduling a virtual oath invite. Thanks

Anyone scheduled for the 19th of August in Mississauga and didn't receive the invite letter yet?

In the current situation when applicants from as far back as March/April 2019 having a decision made are waiting for their oath invite, I will not be surprised rescheduling a virtual oath invite might push you back by another 6-8 months minimum.
But I am no expert, just speculating based on comments from forum members about their agonizing waiting experience.
All the best and take care.

I totally agree with you. There would definitely be a delay

My Virtual Oath Ceremony via Zoom took place on July 24th.
I am in Montreal, QC
I still haven't received my Citizenship Certificate, although the instruction indicates that we are going to receive it by mail within 2-4 weeks.
I called IRCC today, they told me they haven't started to process it and haven't mailed it yet. There is even no record of receiving my signed Oath Ceremony form which I sent on the same day right after the Oath Ceremony. They explained that this is a new process and because of Covid19, it is slow and I just need to wait and have patience.

It looks that I am far behind other people's process in this thread in terms of receiving the Citizenship Certificate. Does anyone have a similar case?

 

[navneetsibal]

How about you ECAS status? is it changed to complete or still showing Decision Made?

If that is changed to Complete then i guess your Oath Ceremony form would have been received. Also if they wouldn't have received by now they would have tried to communicate to you.

I applied in August 2019 and my test was on 21st January 2020. Still not DMed and no oath invitation yet. I contacted cic and I was told it's because of COVID. Is this normal? I came to canada in 2010
I applied in Montreal.

I also applied in August 2019, my test was on January 16, 2020. I still have no DM and no oath invitation. I called and also contacted via web form multiple times, always they said it is due to COVID 19 and there is no problem in my file. I too am from Montreal.
