December 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[wink]

We had good experience so far with the IRCC west (I believe it is Vancouver) for both online Cotizenship applications (mine & wife’s).
After reading some posts it looks like Winnipeg office is worst when it comes to scheduling oats!
We will have to find if the delay is from Vancouver office for our files or Winnipeg as we are not sure if the files have been transferred to Winnipeg office so we know who is handling our files

Yeah, looks like May'22 DM applicant is getting the Oath just tomorrow...

Congratulations
I see you received the certificate within 2 days. Did you request 2 days shipping? If yes, can you please share how did you request.

Nope, I didn't request any express shipping. Maybe got lucky? Actually, one thing is on the day of the oath ceremony when I spoke to IRCC Officer to cut the PR card, I told them there is a change in my address and the officer asked me to write their name on the email subject so that it will reach them. I sent the oath certificate immediately.

Nope, nothing of that sort.

Is there anyone who gave test outside Canada and has received oath invite ?

Same situation. Test completed outside on September 12, and since the test status was updated to completed, there were no other updates / just the system wide updates on October 7th and December 16. I also noticed yesterday that the official government website has changed the estimated time between test and oath from 3-4 months to 4-6 months. Not sure if this is just to reduce the amount of calls they're receiving.

The wait is testing my patience. But it's OK, once in a lifetime thing. Once we get citizenship we are good for life. Only a few more days congrats to my fellow Canadian citizens who already got the certificate. I'll join you soon.

I've seen people posting that oath invite came from offices from other provinces. I have a similar timeline as yours, my oath changed to in-progress today and is scheduled for February 6th. I hope yours changed too!
