January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[CdnWifeLivingInThailand]

My status has just been updated to ‘invitation to test’, my window is april 12- may 3, but I have not recieved any emails yet. Howlong does it take to get the email normally?

Congrats on getting your invite! I updated the excel for you. We received the test invite a couple of days after the citizenship test was scheduled. I don't think you technically need it? We just clicked on the link in our tracker and then read through the guide there explaining how to complete the test. It's pretty comprehensive with pictures of what each step will look like. However, maybe send a webform in a couple of days to say that you haven't received it yet?

Thanks. Do I have to book a date or just login during my test window and take it? And does it need to be at a specific time?

Good news to share: my oath has been scheduled for April 19th So it was 2 months from DM to tracker update, and less than 2 weeks from update to the date itself. Just waiting for the official email with instructions which I assume could be a week or so yet. I can see the finish line!

We've been scheduled (on tracker) for the Oath Ceremony on April 20. The update happened on March 28. No email arrived so far. Any one in the same boat? Does it take that long? I checked all of course. Should we act somehow now?

What does it mean "Decision Made" in Tracker? all Completed except of Oath?

Hey folks, I send my passport photocopy end of last November to Mississauga office and still waiting? Anyone know how many months estimate to wait

@wildemam Great news! So happy for you! I'm missing some of the data points in the excel tracker. Could you please provide the following:
1. Where did you apply from or what office is processing your file?
2. When did you first receive your citizenship test invite in the tracker?
3. When did you write and pass your test?
4. When did you get DM. (i.e. when did everything update to complete except for oath?).

Good News!!
We've been scheduled (on tracker) for the Oath Ceremony on April 20 as well.
The update happened on Apr 04. Email received on 8th Apr.

Completed my Test in Aug-21. Sent all the documents by Oct-21. No update until I sent a Web form query in early Feb'22 whose surprise response I receive on the Apr-04 and ECAS changes status on the same day.

Just an update to my situation, if anyone finds it helpful. I have rescheduled twice my oath ceremony and they got back to me saying they can reschedule it no problem and they are asking when would I be available and they will make their best to accommodate my oath date for that time.
Anyone who's saying Vancouver office doesn't do anything or they are not helpful, that's opposite what I have experienced!
