Going to call IRCC tomorrow to confirm. But does anyone know if bilingual passport stamps need to be translated?
For example, a stamp with both Chinese and English word "Admitted".

AFAIK, as long as it has English or French in it, you should be good.

You might want to get a second opinion on this one but I think translation is not necessary in this case.

Hello, I recently recieved my Oath invitation for June 2nd. In the document sent, they say that your PR card is needed with your COPR. However, I am not able to find my COPR. Will I need to get a replacement before the Oath ceremony or can I just use my PR card?

Just got an interview invite for 30 June. Also asked me to send photocopies of passports. This is a month from now...
Updated the tracker.

Wish you all the very best!
Any idea what the interview is about? Something IRCC wants to check after past the citizenship test and before they send you the invite for the citizenship ceremony? I guess it is optional, some people gets interview, some straight to the ceremony, right?

Looks like a standard interview for checking documents and making sure you speak ok English/French.

Does anyone know if they respond to the email I am supposed to submit the documents and content forms to?
It looks like a unique generated email and I'd like to ask them a few questions about stamp transitions.

Admins, could you please enter my information into the Sep 2019 applicants tracker. I have never provided this information before so this is a new entry and not an update:

Location: Ottawa , ON
App Type: Family (self + 2 children)
Physical Presence Days: don't remember
App Sent:
App Delivered: Sep 06, 2019
AOR: Nov 18, 2019
In-process: Jan 15, 2020

No updates received since mid-January 2020. Really disappointed with the bureaucrats IRCC who seem to be doing little to rise to the occassion to try and overcome a mammoth backlog.

Almost the same timeline here.... "2019 family paper application, are taking the most hit in terms of delay

Oath: May 20th, 2021.


Details of the ceremony:

The ceremony went smooth in a little over than an hour. No major hiccups....Just some people that don't put their mics on mute and the system bring their image to the screen (the clerk had some little issues controlling this but it ended up working good).
We cut our PR during our screening; I really like the new version of zoom with the breakout rooms, it really helps.
We were in total 54 people from Calgary region. I checked on the system today, and my status changed to CLOSED (BTW I really like the updates to the status page).

OVER AND OUT!

it's been a pleasure to expend this last 20 months with you guys!!! I hope the best to everyone here that is still waiting!!!
