I contacted my local MP office.
They called me today and said that everything is ok and is in cue. I am so frustrated that I cannot even begin to tell you. I am now renewing my PR cards as I have no hope on Scarborough office.
I am done with it.

Thanks for sharing, I am in the same boat. Question is: do we need to renew our PR cards? Since we all have DM before our PR cards expire, and the government takes a long time to schedule everyone in for the last step, why are we required to spend more time and pay extra $$ for their inefficiency?

My current plan is just to explain my situation and will not apply for PR card renewal while waiting for that letter.

But if you need to travel, you will need the pr card. My DM on 26th Sept. still no reply.

They had 3 ceremonies in each day on 10,11 and 12 October. With 100 people per ceremony they must have cleared around 900 oaths. Hopefully we all should get our oath invites soon.

Only 100 people, I was wondering, why don't they call 1000 people per ceremony. The cost is low and faster and suffering less.

if DM->Oath is bad now, can't imagine what it'll be like next year when C6 applicants such as myself start getting Citizenships. Sucks to be in the GTA.

Love your analysis.
You could be very right. I am checking regularly, currently they have no oaths scheduled for Scarborough in November. So we all can get it.

But I am renewing the PR Cards as I have to travel in January with family.

No choice....

Why dont they invite all the DMs in a big baseball ground or something and get all done at once.. lol this could save up lot of frustration for all..

Next few days are critical, as they will be planning oath ceremonies for November.

Just coming back after sending our documents for PR RENEWAL.

Another waiting time begins....

Yes, better to renew as getting PR card also is very time consuming it seems.

Good idea ....from the looks of it they were calling people for oath ceremony in October whose application was submitted in March 2017. So we can use that scenario and work out where we stand. I gave my test in end of September.

On "what to bring to the citizenship ceremony", CIC listed "PR card even if it is expired". So if we are not travelling out of the country, can I interpret this as a green light for skipping the PR card renewal?


What to bring
You must bring your ceremony notice and all your original immigration documents, including your:

• permanent resident card if you have one (even if it is expired)
• Record of Landing (IMM 1000) if you became a permanent resident before June 28, 2002

If you do not need PR card for travelling purpose, you dont need to apply for new one while waiting for Oath. At Oath, just submit your expired PR cards to the officer. Please not your PR status does not expire with or depends on expiry date of PR card! Hopefully you will get oath date soon!
