Attended the Oath ceremony today. I guess this is the end of the long process. Just a tip from the ceremony, it takes between 1.5-2 hours. When I join the zoom meeting I was kept on hold for about 20 minutes until I was admitted so hang out tight there and do not close the session.
After the ceremony you will receive an email from the processing office and you need to REPLY to it attaching the signed Oath or affirmation of Citizenship form right a way to get your citizenship certificated processed.


All the best Oct. 2020 and all other citizenship applicants for the remaining part of the process.

After I got my AOR I called in and they confirmed my processing office is Ottawa. Then I got the test invite from Hamilton and the Oath invite from Niagara.

It could be because Ottawa got overloaded with the expedited PR processing or they just generally streamline the workload and have offices to specialize in subtasks. This is just speculation from my side
Thanks. Congrats !!

Well I sent an email to Scarborough office yesterday to see if anything can be done about Oath scheduling (Test Passed on Nov 8, 2021). Got a reply that they have forwarder my request to the appropriate department. Keeping my fingers crossed it will trigger some action!

Hi,

its a crazy long wait. I passed my test on August 26, 2021 and have sent the scanned passport on August 23, 2021. No update since then. I raised a web form and called IRCC and they told be to wait as they don't require any more documents. Hope to hear some news soon.

Hi. My profile update date has changed some days after taking the test; But the test status has not changed and it is still in progress. Do you have any similar experience? Is it because the test has not been accepted?

Good luck to all those who are still in the process.

Hello everyone, justva quick update on my status, 9th February, there was a ghost update with no information on my status. On 5th of March, an email from IRCC requesting for police clearance certificate arrived which was sent On 8th of March. Again on 10th March, a passport request email was sent and i replied immediately with all the pages of my passport during the time of consideration on 11th March.
Today i checked my status only to notice that prohibition, physical presence and language has changed to completed. All of the indicators are showing completed except the Oath ceremony which is still showing not started.
I'm wondering if there is an issue with my application, all passport request i have read on our group takes months to process but mine took a day. Again the Ecas is showing Decision Made. Could this quick decision be taken as positive or a perceived negative decision?

Anyone who has explanations can assist me in this matter. Thank you so much.

Also, did anyone recently apply for PR card renewal? I guess the processing time for it is 4 months.
I applied last year. Supposedly wait time was 3 months, got it in 5.5 o_O

I had to travel and ended up cutting my trip short only to arrive 2 days before card expired.
