Hi, Even though ceremonies are almost every day in Mississauga, there is only one per day, as opposed to Scarborough where last month (July) they scheduled 3 ceremonies per day Twice a week....not sure how they are scheduling these ceremonies...aren't the Judges specifically appointed for this...then why these gaps and delays?
Try not to worry too much, it will happen, probably the month, this is when most Federal employees go on vacation before school starts...its just a little delay. I'm thinking they have just not updated the ceremony list
Yes, I agree, it could be a multitude of reasons and stressing is not going to solve this, eventually, they will call when they want to call..If you know a couple of Mississauga applicants, you'll see they are complaining about the long delays too, i know a few and things aren't rosy on that side as well.
I struggled during my 5+ months wait (after DM) to understand how Scarborough works..but wasn't able to understand the logic, i freaked out at times, lost my patience but that didn't change anything....eventually i cancelled all my travel plans and relaxed...only then the Oath invite came in.
My guess is there could be a few possible explanations for the perceived "quiet period"/or a combination of all:
1) The website hasn't been updated (we've seen in the past that it may be lagging a week or 2 behind at times)
2) The rate of scheduled ceremonies has slowed down temporarily (due to whatever reason - could be people taking time off/or anything else)
3) Someone also pointed out earlier that they could be taking a long time because of sorting nationalities in the background - to ensure ceremonies
are as diverse as possible (it cannot be a coincidence that everytime a ceremony of only 80 to 88 people come from 30+ countries)
To conclude, its best to remain patient and try to enjoy the rest of the summer and everyone's turn will come.
Yes, brother this is what I have been doing since May 30. My test was at Scarborough and I applied in October.
There’s is nothing wrong with sending one since you are close to the 12 months mark. I send one on June 25 heard back from them and June 27 saying they are verifying if I am qualify for citizenship then About a week later I got Oath Invite so it don’t hurt to try.
No problem they might write back and say about 12 months but they will contact your local office good luck.
