Great news! I received the invite for the oath ceremony today. It's scheduled for Sept 6, 2022. Interestingly enough, it will be done by the Winnipeg office even though I live in Montreal. I guess my UP request was approved after all. Everthing is completed now, except "Citizenship ceremony" and (strangely) "Background verification". See my entire timeline below:

Btw, does anyone know if there is a spreadsheet with data about how long the delivery of the citizienship by mail takes for most people?
I wanted to travel back home for my birthday in early October. But one month to receive the certificate and get a passport sounds pretty tight...

Hello please find the answers below:
1. 22nd August 2022.
2. IRCC.DNMBSKCITCEREMONIES-CEREMONIESCITMBSKRN.IRCC1@cic.gc.ca (Please note that my processing office was Vancouver but the oath came from Manitoba / Saskatchewan office).
3. I did not send any requests to IRCC throughout the process.

I hope the information is helpful. Let me know if you need anything else.
I got oath invitation from Manitoba and Saskatchewan office but I am in Vancouver .I did my oath on Aug 16 . How long does it take to get update . It still shows oath in progress.

Cool, thank you for the explanation. It’s been 3.5 months since test marked completed for me. Everything else, including BGC, is in progress. Seriously considering applying for notes but will wait maybe another two weeks.
For me, Test and BG marked completed on May02. No update after that. SCR office is the processing office. I saw someone’s post saying the test and BG marked complete on March 01 and yet to receive further updates. Again it’s the SCR office. So I guess it’s going to be a while by the time they reach mine. I applied online.

Here only test marked completed. Everything else, including background check and except oath, still in progress. Scarborough Office. Don't know when will the processing speed up.

As per my observation, currently the processing time is slower for online applications than paper applications at Scarborough office.

Hey everyone,

After no updates since April, I finally received a test invite on August 17. My test window is August 19, 2022 - September 8, 2022.

Anyway, I just finished the test and I passed it, but I'm still worried if I took the pictures correctly. My ID seems blurry-ish but readable to me, like it wasn't like super HD clear like if we take a photo from a phone or scan it. I also got a bit confused with the pic of yourself if should I look at the screen or the camera. I looked at the screen on mine, because my cam is built in and it's higher than me (old imac).

Hopefully this is all fine. If not, do they contact you or automatically reject you? I'm scared and I just hope all gets accepted.

Thanks! Hope it goes smoothly for everyone else waiting.


Please update my tracker, thank you!
