Myself and son became citizens this morning as scheduled. It was attended by 100 people from 30 countries. It was a nice experience to finally complete the process with the help of all of you here.

I thank God for everything and I am grateful to all the admins here that help keep everything moving while answering our numerous questions.

Good luck to those who are still waiting.
Congrats.

Hi all, silent member here. Here are my timelines:

App delivered - Nov 20, 2017
AOR - January 10, 2018
IP- January 23, 2018
Test Invite - April 25, 2018
Test - May 15, 2018 (done in Scarborough)
DM - May 16, 2018

No Oath invitation yet.

I called last week to inquire and the gentleman on the phone mentioned my file is now in Mississauga but they haven't scheduled an Oath invitation yet.

I have my cousin's wedding mid September overseas, It seems I won't make it to the wedding ...

Anyone in this forum did the test on May 15th in Scarborough (or has similar timelines)?
It seems they have no system in place, some applicants from January 2018 are receiving Oath invites and some from November 2017 are still waiting and on DM, I guess this is how they work.

That's how it's always been. When October applicants started getting oath invites, some applicants from July/August were still waiting for theirs.

I'm guessing the reason is that they go through Paper Files rather than a computer system. If suppose a files is stacked under all other files the top file gets attended to first, regardless of the date. Its a completely outdated system

That coupled with the fact that they want diversity at these ceremonies (people from 26-30 different countries) could explain it.

Hello everyone, I’m just in a fix and kind of stressed. Replies would be highly appreciated.

So I had my test day before, the test went well but not my interview and the CO said she would review my application again and let you know about our decision.

Now, I have completed my days before my application. I mostly stay here but travel often to the US since my husband works and lives there (I have not applied for his sponsorship too because he travels extensively) that was one of the questions in the interview too as why I haven’t applied for his sponsorship.
And I travel a lot to our home country to meet family and spend time with husbands family. But I travel back to Canada.

I got a decision made today but no correspondence email from them.

I’m just very stressed and curious. Is there a possibility of denial of application on this basis (husband not living in Canada)

Helpful replies would be appreciated.
