Anyone from Vancouver awaiting Oath invitation over the last 3 months after "Decision Made"?

My application is in a limbo since DM -
  • Application Date - October 2019
  • Decision Made - August 18, 2021
  • Oath Ceremony - Not Started
Please share your timelines and if anyone has been able to get hold of the Vancouver office. Thank you!
should be any day now. My DM was in July and oath in November

Family of 4 application.
Application sent May 2019
AOR July 2019
Fingerprints October 2019
Test May 2021
The same fingerprints again August 2021
DM September 2021
Still waiting for Oath Invite - a bit over 3 months since DM.

Looking at what others sent, I expect ~4 month wait + 2 weeks if it doesn't come before Christmas.

Was it even possible to apply online back in August 2020? I checked this person's post history and it looks like they applied on paper.

Not everyone from Vancouver office posts here, so for other's sake - browsing other topics, it looks like Vancouver office sits at around 4 months DM to Oath invite based on most recent reports.

Congrats! Was your application single or family?

It blows my mind that some people applied almost a year after me, got a DM one month after me and I'm still not invited for oath...

Thank you. Single application. The timelines definitely don't make sense, I tried to be chill about it and only check the tracker once a week for my sanity. May you get your date soon.

Congrats! And how long did it take for the Certificate to arrive? Was it through Canada Post? And did CP put it inside your mailbox?
