Good luck! mine took about 8 daysWaiting for the tracker to show "Completed" for the citizenship test. Gave the test 7 days ago. I think I am getting a bit impatient as it might take 2 weeks to 2 months
Ottawa Applications
- Thread starter lostincic
- Start date
News from CIC : We are continuing to expand the use of virtual ceremonies. Moving forward, we are exploring an option for those who wish to self-administer their Oath by signed attestation, and celebrate their citizenship at a later date. This would shorten the waiting time for those at the final stage of their citizenship process
I hope they are serious about this. Come on , lets sign and finalize, lets Do real ceremony outdoor in the summer. For all of us, now leta get our status completed
Where did they say this??
This would be interesting but it says "exploring the option", so theyre not announcing that they will do it now
They are known to say things as explore but they are at final stage. U will see i think we will get this now . No ceremonies on January says alot
Update: They just emailed people who were supposed to come pick up their certificates tomorrow that the office will be closed because of the Truckers' demonstrations lol. This office and city are cursed and these truckers really picked the worse time to come and protest here . im really holding back my words on them
Wow, truckers not leaving any soon they raised over 8 million dollars to cover the cost of this mess of anti vaccers non sense.
And the nutjobs are still going "strong":
Ambulances pelted with rocks during protest; health workers, patients face added stress, delays (msn.com)

Guys.. what do you think about the performance of the Ottawa office from now on due to the truckers? They were already slow and now they have a good excuse. I guess the Queen street is closed and it makes hard for the employees to get the office. The protest doesn't seem end soon, they have planned to stay for months. The fund reaches 10 million in next few hours.
I am worried about printing the certificates and scheduling the oath for those ones who are waiting for the oath. Do you think the employees need to go to the office to print and mail the certificates?

No clue. I can only guess that they have some sort of online system that they can access from home, for ex, for verifying the citizenship tests etc. Hoping that the agents can then move the application to the next stages via online methods.
As far as I know, certificate printing takes place in the office. That's why the certificate pick up and mailing was cancelled due to truckers' demo
Thing is, truckers demonstration could last forever and the onus is on IRCC to find alternative ways to send out those certificates, maybe outsource the printing and mailing to another office. People affected by this should email them suggesting it
When it comes to oath scheduling, since I had Decision Made a month ago, ottawa hasnt scheduled a single ceremony as far as we know . Last year they did at least 4 ceremonies a month, some months they did 10. Not sure what's holding them back, but I dont think its the truckers thing, ceremonies can be done from home
From my experience, the incompetent Ottawa office just need an excuse to delay their work. And this seems like a perfect excuse since the Afghanistan excuse is exhausted now.
It is very unfortunate. I suggest everyone who is late in getting certificate to reach out to the IRCC minister Sean Fraser. Multiple escalations about a specific office will certainly get some attention.
