Scarborough -DM-Oath

[Anvatrix]

I received ATIP report on my application status today and I see that in line for LOCATION there is a mention: C-24 CEREMONY READY
So I am guessing that Scarborough Centre must have some sort of backlog of files or lack of citizenship judges so that it ends up in such a long waiting time from Decision Made to receiving invitation to Oath ceremony.

What time is the oath? Is it usually during the workday?

The list of citizenship judges is very VERY short: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/commission/cit-judges.asp

Is my understanding correct that there are only 7 citizenship judges for the entire Canada?

I am still Nov 2016 applicant waiting for oath.. probably only one left from Nov 2016 group..

why don't you go to the IRCC office at Scarborough Town Centre and ask to see an officer? or get an appointment to see an officer.

The normal processing time for an application is 12 months.
As you are approaching 12 months of processing time, I would suggest you contact IRRC using their Web form

It certainly looks like it...which is insane! I read somewhere that approx. 60,000 people become Canadian citizens every year, and there's just 7 judges for this...their workload must be insane!

Where do you see this report? When i see online it just shows "decision made" and when i click on it it just shows me the 4 lines upto the test invite.

All they say is everything looks fine, i am in queue for the ceremony, all that remains is scheduling of an oath.. i am so tired of hearing this call after call.

This is the reason i say they should hold oath ceremonies in a big baseball ground or some concert hall where one judge starts the ceremony at 9am and finish by 5pm and get all the backload done at one go..

My file is at Scarborough. I contacted CIC using their web form and within a week they sent me oath invitation
Have you tried that option?
