February 8th 2022: I sent a webform requesting an update
Background completed: February 15th 2022
Language, Prohibitions, physical presence: April 26th 2022. Decision made on Ecas
May 26th 2022: Contacted my MP for help
Interview Request: May 30th 2022 from Scarborough Office
Interview in Person: June 16th 2022 Scarborough Office
June the 20th: I sent a request for an early oath ceremony to Scarborough Office because I’m going away for a month.
June 21st, 2022: Scarborough Office replied to my email saying that Mississauga Office is the office in charge of my file. Don’t know why I got the interview with Scarborough office!
September 30th I requested an update from Mississauga through email. They replied saying that I was in queue for the oath ceremony
November 3rd, my online tracker was updated with the ceremony scheduled for November 10th.
November 10th, in person ceremony in Mississauga.
.. Getting the paper work ready for passport application.
My opinion on the whole process: I'm happy to be a Canadian citizen but I think Irrc should threat all the applicants fairly. It's not right to have people waiting for years while some others are waiting for few months only. That part of the business needs to be improved.
I would like to say thank you to everyone and I hope that people waiting for good news will soon receive them.
Regards
