September 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

[CHIOMA OSSAI]

Thank you, congratulations to you as well.
Yesterday neither tracker nor ECAS showed any update. Today ECAS showed an update with the info:
"We sent you a notice on March 2, 2023 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on March 22, 2023 at 1:15 PM."
Tracker is still not showing any update, I assume it will be updated within the next days as I've noticed it takes a bit longer to update than on ECAS.
Now, the date showing is the notice date (March 2) matches the last update on my tracker, which I thought was the general update that everyone recently had. So hopefully more updates for the rest of the applicants coming these following weeks.

What is your timeline? I also got the March 2 update but nothing on tracker. My test was passed on the 4th of February

You can find my timeline at the bottom of this message.
The update on March 2nd seems to be for everyone, as far as I've been reading on previous forums and posts, currently timelines are very different. Hoping you receive an update on your file as well.

what is the situation today with the OATH ceremony? is it online or in person? what is the % of people who are asked to do it in person? does the location of the applicant or the processing office have any effect?

Just for info,

This morning I received the GCMS from CBSA that I had requested, the they dated Feb 17, so older information. Although, it did tell me a few things.
That my certificate is apparently paper so I didn't get selected for e-cert.
Nothing else in it, info looked like there were no concerns otherwise. Took them exactly 30 days to send these.

Updating the progress:

I complete the test on Feb 21st and on 24th test was marked completed. For my spouse, we requested for accommodation (oral test format) mid Feb and after 3-4 follow-ups we were told that an officer will setup MS Teams call but was unsure when it would be scheduled (meaning it would be after our original test window) - This was not OK with us and the fact that no one mentioned this until we followed up repeatedly. Therefore, my spouse went ahead and took the test online with here limited capability (she is near-blind) and managed to pass the test on Mar 3rd. Today test was marked complete.

We now wait for LPP updates!

Unfortunate that you had to undergo this trouble but glad to hear about your spouse passing the test. Congratulations! Onward & upward

Hi everyone,
Took my exam last Sunday and I passed the test. I used my husband’s desktop that he is using for work and I just found now that his desktop was connected to a VPN. I am so anxious right now that my exam might be invalidated. Any thoughts?
