I noticed that DM, most probably based on which officer made the interview ,few of them well experienced and they took the decision in spot, while other need more time to review and take decision.

Nevertheless , my friend took test 26th of Aug, and get DM next day , and his oath received only yesterday, which mean 4 months wait time and he is over 65 years age.

Also some of applicants get their DM very late and oath invitation week after DM.
 
Ottawa gives more surprises / gifts this Christmas to citz applicants. Firstly, they've announced 4 days of oath - 9, 14, 15, 16... Then they open 17th (nov 6th test takers)... Now, 18th dec (nov 9th test takers)...that's totally 6 days of oath in Dec, the holiday month of the year - nearly 1 oath day every 3 working days...

Super cool...

All yours are soon going to fall in line... All the best...

Just wondering, is it somewhat normal for the Ottawa office not to update ecas to DM made after test? And just have an oath invite?
 
I had the same question, any feedback??

I know a candidate in the forum s/he got the DM together with the oath invitation on ecas.
 
this is his/her post on the forum:

"Settlement Topics / Citizenship / Re: Feb 2015 citizenship applicants on: November 16, 2015, 10:40:36 am
Just checked our eCAS and surprised to find DM and oath invite for Nov 26 10:30 am... Happy!!
So eCAS may not update to DM right away yet you may still get the oath invite within 2 months as
told at the interview..."

Nov 9th, 13th, 6th, 18th are dates I know for nov tests. Doesn't matter how I know about 18th dec, what matters is if there is one on dec 18th or not - and there is one. ;)

Yes, you should expect in jan... This is how I see - roughly 1 day of tests (3) are covered with 1 day of oaths (3). With nov 9th cleared, there might be about 3 more days of tests in nov. each month ottawa is conducting ~3 days of oaths ( dec, surprisingly 6 days of oaths), so - jan is v high probability for you...


I don't know of jan dates - they are not yet decided / published yet...

It is possible - the online updates are not consistent - sometimes v late, sometimes never...

Mostly it will be updated DM in advance - though for some in just 2 days... Some in a week, and some in a long time
