Decision made

Congrats! That's great and encouraging to hear. Let us know when you get the email and what office it came from.

I just got the email invite today, it came from the Mississauga Office.

I just got the email invite today, it came from the Mississauga Office.

So your application stayed in Mississauga. Seems that Mississauga has woken up. Just saw in another group that an early April 2022 paper applicant processed by Mississauga has oath scheduled for August 16!

Finally ! I just got my oath ceremony notice this morning (August 8th) and my ceremony is scheduled for August 15th. It took a little over 2 months between DM (that I got on June 2nd) and my oath notice.

Congrats.
I think IRCC is intentional about their unpredictable style. Now, It is going to take you just one week from Oath invite to actual Oath. There are people who got Oath invite last week scheduled 3rd week of September, that means you might even get your passport before their oath

Finally, Oath scheduled on 29th August but no email yet. Anyone from the 29th ?

Congrats!! Glad to see a fair amount of movement in the last couple of days. Hope this becomes a pattern that spreads to all of us who have been waiting!

@Toronto1971 yes, you would receive communications asking you for things like proof of residence or interview if they were thinking of rejecting you. DM is virtually certainly positive. If you really want to confirm, order GCMS notes:
https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do
they will show a final status of Granted and a note that citizenship is granted, and your status as being ceremony ready.

And yes, immigration lawyers are pretty useless for everyday immigration matters, unless you have significant problems with your case that you would already know about, or you want to file a Writ of Mandamus.

Thanks a lot!
Keep on helping people, your experience & giving advices is very helpful for new applicants. No Profit Org@ are totally stupid and don’t know nothing about IRCC. Immigration offices never answer if you call them. Lawyers don’t speak the truth without payment- generally we pay for advice they tell bull….For this reason, this Forum must go on, to help.
God bless you!

During all 25 months of citizenship application Calendar, IRCC contacted and asked me for two things:
1- Colour copies of my passport ( almost everyone received this request)
2- Because I gave my Citizenship Test outside of Canada , IRCC asked me: Proof of exit/ entry and if I’m still in Canada. Looks that; who gave the test outside, should give this info before scheduled for Oath ceremony.
These are the only 2 requests for all 25 months period.
Do I need to worry?
Thanks

25 months makes you a mid-2020 applicant, and unfortunately this lack of action is not uncommon for 2020 applicants. Seems that lots of 2020 applicants, especially those who applied early to mid 2020 as well as in late 2019, right around the beginning of the pandemic, have been especially neglected. For some reason, IRCC is prioritizing recent applications more and more, so recent 2022 applicants are getting to oath in 4 months, while 2020 and 2019 applicants are still waiting after 2+, 3+ years.

If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend ordering GCMS notes, giving a month to receive them, then contacting your MP for help. Although the fact that you have gotten to Decision Made is a sign that your oath invitation will more likely than not come soon. However, a sizeable minority of 2020 and 2019 applicants have also been waiting a long time between DM and oath, so you still might be waiting for a while. If you pass 27 months without any progress or response from the above, then it could be time to look into strong measures such as contacting a lawyer about filing Writ of Mandamus.

What is Mandamus? No idea, no information
Thanks

What is Mandamus? No idea, no information ℹ

Basically it means suing the IRCC to compel them to act because they have been neglecting to perform their basic duties. You might have a case if you have passed 27 months and are sure that your file is routine and not held up by external factors such as a stuck name check (which I wouldn't imagine yours to be if you've already gotten to decision made - a fresh order of GCMS notes and/or help from your MP in getting status should be able to confirm that)

There is a whole thread devoted to the topic:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/applicants-waiting-for-more-than-2-years-interested-in-mandamus-with-a-firm-as-a-group-meet-here.743417/

See the discussion in the May 2020 applicants thread, where someone who was reaching 27 months without even a test invite filed mandamus a month ago and finally has been getting movement (test, interview, background check, decision made, just waiting for oath now)

Believe me, I do feel sorry for the class of hard working emigrants, that should survive economically in this country and in the same time living under stressful situations, like this. More transparency should be done by IRCC department, to make our life more easy. Today I called the office of my MP , the last chance to speed up my application
Thank you all !

IRCC's lack of transparency is the main problem here, as well as their totally haphazard application of justice (randomly choosing lots of 2022 applications to process in 4 months while letting random other 2019 and 2020 applications rot away). Please let us know what your MP says. Hope you get that oath invitation soon!

+1.

So much activity is so amazing.

Those of you who are still waiting for Language, Prohibition, Presence, just know that many of us who have oaths now were just like you. It all happens really fast at the end

Today 11 August 2022 , Decision Made turned to Complete. This means that PR card renew is approved. Furthermore, IRCC wrote that the NEW card is send by mail to my address. 75 days in total from filling the application- till “ completed “ status.
Stil expecting my Travel Document ( from 25 May 2022 that had been received from IRCC).
Please tell me:
1- How to send IRCC a photo of my new PR Card , so the Travel Document is going to have 5 years validity?
2- I applied with expired PR Card, do I have problems? IRCC never turned me back TD application.
3- Does IRCC contact me by email to notify that TD is issued? How applicants know that TD is send by mail ?
4- What kind of contact do you have with IRCC for Travel Document application???
Please answer if u have experience
