Yes, at least Scarborough has couple of folks to compare timelines, Kitchener has just 2 of us for September. @azamat277 - Any update on your oath ceremony?

Nope...no news so far. Still waiting for the oath letter.

 

[azamat277]

Test marked completed today Feb 16, took the test on Feb 12th. Though in the tracker it says the test was completed on Feb 13 but the tracker got updated today.

Now the long wait of oath begins

Some people here talk about sending email to SCR office and getting replies about when is there Oath. Did you try this?

Hey no I dint. Those people who were getting response back with their Oath dates have already got the LPP marked completed. But in our case since LPP is still in progress, I don't think SCR will give the update. I saw on some other page where this guy emailed them for update and the response he got back was "please note your file is still in progress and the processing time is 25 months."

Thank you! Went through all the posts, so the waiting from DM to oath is ~2 months, that’s too long

What is/was your test window? There is another theory, that oath invite comes when the test window completes.

Test invite on Jan 17, marked completed on Jan 23 and updated on tracker on 25th. Waiting since then.

Isn't it weird that when it comes to DM to oath timelines are so out of whack? I mean, the whole process is incredibly difficult to predict but I feel with the other stages there's at least a vague idea on where your application is at but oath timelines seem to be all over the place. Does anyone know what the average timeline would be from DM to Oath? A couple of months? Also I was checking timelines for Vancouver -the office that sent me test invite- but I just learned that the office that sends you the ceremony invite might end up being different in some cases, which adds to the uncertainty. I have travel plans for Spring / Summer for work and praying everything will fall into place at the right time lol.

Lol. It's a lottery system. I see people waiting from September month and few people from Oct and Nov already got their Oath ceremony and not even urgent processing. Completely unfair but what can you do. Nothing

As per me, once we submit the application and till the background check is complete, the processing happens at central IRCC level. Post BG, the case moves to local IRCC offices. This is where we start seeing timeline mismatch as our cases are no longer in the same queue. We move from the centralised queue to the local office queue. Just today @Azamat shared a link for the Kitchener area and the whole timeline makes sense again.

The mistake we are making is, we are still comparing our timeline with Mississauga office, or Ottawa office or Vancouver office. I think let us not compare dates with different office.
