This is what I fear - although I have decision made as well, the background check will expire in less than a month. It will be back to in progress then with additional uncertain wait.

Jeezz. I didn't even know this was a thing. :|

I believe it is a year. Our background check was completed in May 2021, and the GCMS notes have it expiring in May 2022.

1 year. My gcms notes have a validity date at the end of April 2022.

Your status is Decision Made. It means that your application is approved within a specified BG Check period. Oath ceremony not linked to BG check ( my personal observation)

Those who are waiting for decision made status they need to worry. Especially, those who are given finger prints they need to give again.

I hope you are right. However I have seen a few cases on the forum of folks moving from decision made to in progress.. including the person whose post I replied to.

I think this is probably not correct. Someone I know told me last year they expedite his oath ceremony because background check was expiring.

No - Oath invite is the final step where you will take oath of citizenship in front of an immigration judge with 60-70 other people - happens on zoom.

Microsoft teams interview is a 1-1 interview with an IRCC official - they will likely ask you to present some documentation about your travels etc., ask some questions. If the file is clear, this is usually the final step before decision made.

Let's just hope that the oath invite is from Hamilton or a city from southern Ontario/horseshoe region. So that we don't have to wait for weeks to receive the certificate lol..
