Seems like they are processing individual files. For me, my <14yo kids e-certificate came one day after oath, but rest of family who sent signed forms are still waiting.

Just got my oath done and will be applying for passport next week. I am planning on doing a walk-in, non-urgent application as I have travel to US in end June so I think I have enough time. My guarantor will be traveling within the next month and I was worried if they might miss the call from...

Am planning to go to India on Canadian passport with e-visa for India. I was also planning to surrender the passport in India. Would I need an exit visa while coming to Canada?

Anybody recently been to Vancouver Sinclair or Richmond passport offices? What is the wait time like? Richmond one is showing 1 hour 15 min for this morning and same with the Vancouver ones.

And I got my GCMS notes also today, the ones I had asked for a month back! :)

Completed the oath ceremony today. Wish everyone all the best and I think IRCC is moving fast now to clear the backlog so the waith should not be that long (even though it is frustrating!). Now on to the passport application:)

Minors applications are updated only at the oath stage. For my kids there were no update on BG, LPP etc. Once the oath date was finalized, the tracker got updated for them.

For those who attended the online ceremony, any issues? Anything to be mindful about? Do they check kids birth certificates?

This document checklist is for Entry visa, not e-visa! Those are two different visas.

usually once a day around 7am pacific tieme

Most likely that IRCC mailing office received them but they haven't processed them yet.

Like I posted above, panicking doesn't help! If you missed something, you need to wait till IRCC get back to you. The whole process is random, just go with the flow.

Your Oath schedule email has a section on what to do in this case. Basically fill a declaration, contact them ASAP

Can't do it through regular police station. Only RCMP or RCMP accredited agencies. Just go to one of the agencies and submit.

Oath scheduled for May 10. Thank you IRCC!

Panicking doesn't help, waiting patiently helps (sometimes)! Got the LPP complete and Oath download email today. Oath ceremony date pending - waiting patiently for this now :)

How does GCMS help?
