Yes I am an indian. Yes, I have heard OCI is a different ball game altogether.:eek: I will think about that once this is done.
I heard somewhere that we have 6 months in hand for getting an OCI? But I maybe wrong.

I think that I must be a real minority here- I actually got the oath invite email about 3 days before my tracker updated.

My oath was virtual through the Winnipeg office. I applied in Montreal, my application got moved to Vancouver and then Winnipeg administered the oath. Go figure.

Gosh! That is tough! And wonder what is the explanation from them to keep the application floating:oops:

I just got my GCMS notes that I requested on June 7th, 2022 :)

All stages are passed.

Final: granted (I'm assuming this means, I've been for approved citizenship)
Oath: started

Long wait for oath. At least, I know its just oath pending now and decision is made.

(Applied online August 15th, 2021. All stages completed on August 4th, 2022)

My wife has been waiting for oath since July 2021. AR on 24 August 2021. The test responded that she is in queue for cermony and they cannot tell when it will happen.

A quick question- Has anyone asked for a quick delivery of the citizenship certificate ? ( For virtual oath ceremony)
As the holidays are coming up so wanted to know if anyone had requested to deliver the citizenship certificate at the earliest. Any particular reason can be given for early delivery of the certificate? Please share your experience. Thank you!
