January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Grassquit]

And my oath date moved to April 20th. I think I can wait the extra day! (@CdnWifeLivingInThailand - really just noting this for the tracker)

Oath completed yesterday It was surprisingly emotional (not really my usual state!) And now back into waiting mode for the certificate and then passport. Obviously very happy to have completed the process

Hey guys,
I finally completed my oath yesterday (April 20th) it was overwhelming and emotional at times especially the national anthem... Lol and sent a signed copy of my Oath form as well.

Haven't received any update yet. Oath ceremony status still says 'In Progress'. Any idea how long Niagara Falls Office takes to send the citizenship certificate?

Yeah for sure bud, I'll keep y'all posted.
They said we had around 180 people from 48 countries taking the oath with us in that ceremony. So I'm sure it takes time for them to send the certificates but it looks like they have a few clerks working together. hopefully it doesn't take 4 weeks though!.

The oath invite letter suggests that it could take 2-4 weeks. So, even if it takes full 4 weeks you'll still have almost another month to get the passport. You can apply for urgent processing if needed. So you should be fine. I cancelled my plan for the second week of may lol.. but it's okay.. it is what it is..

Hi All,
I received my "NOTICE TO APPEAR: To Take the Oath of Citizenship by Video" via email on April-20. The oath is scheduled for May-04 via Zoom.

However, on my online profile, the status for the Citizenship Ceremony is still "Not Started." Is anyone else seeing this discrepancy?

Thanks,

@LemmeKnowIfYouKnow @prvd2002 I had it from NGF office as well in February. I received my citizenship certificate in 2 weeks time and my tracker was updated around 2-3 days after my oath ceremony. Hoping that you get your certificate soon.

Hi All, I had my oath on April 13 (Niagara Falls Office) and today I check on ECAS and it's marked COMPLETE however on the other system it still has Citizenship ceremony: In progress. Does anyone know the meaning of that?

Yeah my ECAS also says "COMPLETE" now with the latest update being "You became a Canadian citizen on April 20th" but no update on the new tracker. And which city are you from?
