IRCC Scarborough Applicants - Online Test/Interview/DM/Oath
- Thread starter BadGamer6
- Start date
Attended oath ceremony with approx 80 other people this morning. Took an hour and 10 mins, fairly quick and efficient but very underwhelming.
When asked to cut my PR card, I proceeded and then informed my need to travel in the next 25 days. The clerk just shook their head and said that I can only expect my cert in 2-4 weeks, and that passport offices are really busy and overwhelmed, and hope "you haven't booked a ticket" because "chances are it won't happen for you."
Recited the oath, listened to post-ceremony instructions, and left the meeting.
I'm a very practical person, and ofc wasn't expecting a party...realize this is all administrative stuff at the end of the day, just hoops us immigrants have to jump through life. But I can't help feel bitter and resentful at the sort of experience CIC has created for us.
Anyhow...onto the next waiting game.

Last December, I tried sending a webform about PR expiry. I don't know whether the issue was forwarded to the SCR office, but I did get scheduled very quickly. Just for reference, maybe the two events are independent.
By mail: About 2 months, +/- a few weeks
In person: Anywhere from 4 weeks to 7 weeks
Normal application, with no urgency.

I and your spouse did same oath today. I'm april 21 applicants .Hope we can get citizenship certificate soon. I also have plan to travel too. Congrats to your spouse
Was this in person on on Zoom? Also, what email did you use to ask for early oath.
Thanks!
It's all on Zoom now. I think it's the same email address where you get your oath invitation. Are you in a different timezone?
