Hello,

My wife received an invitation for her citizenship interview in June. It was via Microsoft Teams. Unfortunately, when trying to log in the day of the interview, the link went to a "Room does not exist" error. We took screenshots and sent them to the IRCC email and also submitted a webform informing them of the problem but haven't heard anything so far. On the application status online tracker it just says "In Progress."

Is it normal for these interview rescheduling to take so long? Or is it not at the bottom of some pile and we're doomed to wait another year? We were hoping to travel next spring, but her original countries passport is as useful as toilet paper.

Should I try calling them? Is there a best way to reach them?

Hello, the above method worked and we got a hold of someone. Thank you! Now I have one more dumb question:

The Interview was scheduled in June originally, and the time on the interview said EST, which is Eastern Standard Time. But in June, we are observing Daylight Time. Should we convert it or just convert the zone? (We're in Atlantic time). This was a bit confusing too.

You should follow time as it is. Don't do any conversion.
