Hi all! My file is finally closed. If someone can please update the spreadsheet!

Dates once I came back to Canada for my oath are as follows:

July 4th : Oath
July 6th: Attended the downtown Vancouver office to collect certificate (I had a talk with the person before my oath and explained I needed it urgently as I am flying back in 2 weeks.
July 7th: I stood in line outside a passport office from 4 AM and finally got inside the building at 8:30AM, stood in more lines and provided my proof for it being needed urgently and was given the receipt by 11:30AM
July 11: Received my passport.

Thank you all for your advice and help along the way. This journey was not easy, but having help really did ease the worry!
I wish each and every one of you the very best of luck and hope your applications get processed quickly!

Hey, just an update. I checked my tracker and there seems to have been a ghost update today.

Any update on your side ?
Hey. Thanks for sharing! No updates on my side. Last ghost update was on 7 January 2022. No change since then. Totally depressing. Wrote twice to my MP but that didn’t change anything - only if my application would still be open beyond the average processing time, they can do something (but so can we by writing to CIC)

I submitted recently a complaint to CIC. Wont change anything either but felt good doing it.

I saw average processing time for citizenship applications dropped from 27 to 26 months. In our case, 4 months to go…

Keep me posted

Took the test on Jan 14, finally got my Oath Invitation for August 23. :p

Got a quick question for everyone, can I share the zoom link with my parents back in Vietnam? If so, will they also use my seat number to login?

Good luck to everyone who's still waiting!
