Congratulations.
That`s a good sign. I have been checking the ceremony dates on cic website. They haven`t updated the list with the new ceremonies after 19th of January. It seems that they are putting some extra ceremony dates between regular Tuesday-Friday schedule.

The URL provided by other reader gives you the upcoming ceremonies based on the visa offices. However, it will NOT tell you if you are been called for the Oath. The number of ceremonies scheduled gives an idea about the number of candidates in your visa office jurisdiction.

Hey, congrats!

Did your status change in Ecas? Or you just got a mail with no change in status?

Thank you

Congrats !!! Entire country is envy of Vancouver candidates, their applications are been processed so fast. Whereas other visa offices still making candidates slog and keep guessing.

Anyway, I'm happy for you.....Cheers !!!

I dont know about that. Based on March 2015 tracker every other office processes Oath invitations WAY faster than Vancouver. So in the end of the day - what's the difference if you waited 2 months to get a test invite after you applied and then 5 - 6 months for Oath or if you waited 6 months for the test and then 1 month for the oath haha

If you compare the total processing time till the oath date you will see that Montreal and Toronto offices are faster.
From June applicants, it seems only London, Toronto and Montreal applicants got their citizenship up to now.
I think even some of the Surrey applicants got their citizenship but haven't updated their entries in the June sheet.

Congratulations.
Finally one of the September 16 test takers is scheduled to take the oath.
Did you get the letter or did you learn it from the ecas?

Me too. I had the test on September 16th and my oath is on January 26th. ECAS still doesn't show anything. It was sent by good ol' snail mail.

Well hopefully that means my letter is on the way; my test was on September 14th! Decision was made a long time ago too. Congratulations to both of you :D

Thanks for sharing information and congratulations.
I saw that you said your status changed to Decision Made one week after the test.
May be decision made date matters as well.
