Same boat. I am a June 2021 applicant though. How do you file OIC complaint ?

Did anyone in this group go through name change process after receiving citizenship certificate? especially splitting one name into two names (no last name in previous passport)?

This is what I am thinking the process could be:

1) receive certificate
2) apply for name change at service Canada.
3) apply for passport with old certificate and name change document (read somewhere new certificate is not mandatory)
4) apply for OCI (India) with old certificate, new passport and name change documents along with old India passport (with single name).

I am not sure if this will work though. Some people in some forums say this worked for them, while some say we need new citizenship certificate.

Anyone with experience around this, please share your thoughts. Thank you.

Got my GCMS Notes, any guidance on where exactly to look for something that shows the file is stuck?

See the file location, is it pending for oath ?

Yes, it's pending & the office is Vancouver.!
Will there be any code to see if it's pending or stuck?

That means your oath is just pending, I suggest send an email to the Vancouver oath email and ask them if they can schedule you.

Language skills, Physical presence & Prohibitions are still in progress status.

Citizenship test & background verification only are completed.

I guess the Vancouver office will not respond unless everything else is completed?
