Congrats on getting DM! You can post your update in the July 2020 group for them to update your tracker. I only update the timelines in Jan 2021 tab (and don't have access to the 2020 tracker).

Thanks for the update! Great news on your citizenship oath tomorrow! Congrats! I have added you to the Jan 2021 spreadsheet.
Could you let me know what date you sent your application, and what date it was received by IRCC? Also, how many days of physical presence you had? Do you know what date your application was "in progress" in the ECAS system? Normally it's a few days before the background check... Finally, do you know what date you received your citizenship test invite? Just filling in all the blanks :)
Application posted January 25th and received few days later (I don't remember). Physical presence was 1115. The application was in progress since June 7. For citizenship test, we got an invite on August 5th for a test between Aug 13 to Sep 2, but we were not in Canada and had not access to a reliable internet, so we asked them to postpone. We did not hear back until Feb 18 for the second invite.

Please update the tracker :

Scheduled for citizenship oath: June 23, 2022
Congratulations on the oath scheduled! Since I noticed you are also applying through Ottawa, could you please let me know who send you the oath invitation? Was it from Ottawa? Or Niagara Falls? Or another office? I've been hearing a lot of the Ottawa applicants have been getting the oath scheduled by a different office, so just curious what happened in your case! Thanks :)

congratulations! I am also in Ottawa, similar timeline so I am also interested in which office you got it from :)
But also when was your background check done? and if it was over a year ago the first time did you need to do anything again? Mine was May 2021 but I havent heard anything since an update on April 25th confirming I passed the citizenship test.
Thanks in advance!

Wondering if anyone let me know how long after the oath ceremony the profile will be updated.
I had oath ceremony session this morning but online profile is still the same as yesterday.

Thanks

So long story:

January 2021 applicant, received my citizenship test invite for January 18, 2022. I wrote the test, but during the test, the online application timed me out almost as soon as I started and I managed to log back in.

Test was completed and I got 20/20. Was excited as I thought that was it, 2 days from now I should get an update saying ‘citizenship test completed”, but I heard nothing for 3 months. This got me really worried and I contacted my MP, they told me that “the result of my test could not be accepted due to the integrity of the test”.

At this point, I was so deflated as no one from IRCC even reached out to me for months, until the end of May when I got an invite for an MS teams test for June 7, 2022.

The MS teams meeting was quite straightforward, the citizenship officer explained that they could not accept the result of my previous test due to the timeout issue and then administered a test to orally and confirmed my result instantly (20/20 again).

I opened my application this morning and saw the following update:

    Does this mean DM? Should I be expecting an oath invite soon?


    TLDR - wrote the citizenship test and result was not accepted due to connection time out issues, but IRCC made me wait for 5 months to rewrite. All requirements completed except citizenship ceremony.
Just got oath ceremony scheduled for July 12, 2022. Yay!!

I believe as long as you re in the country for the oath you re good, leaving after the oath but before the passport could also be a problem. But before the oath your PR card is still valid so it s fine.

Btw @NabilF the office should be written in the test or oath letter/email. it should something like if you have issues or questions contact us at X (email) and in that email there is the location
