November 2021 - Citizenship applications

When do you typically have the oath ceremony turn into in progress once everything is completed? When do you receive and email for Oath?

wow speedy timeline! congrats. What email did you receive correspondence from? That'll likely tell you your office.

I find it long actually. I submitted my application in September 2021. File number was issued in Dec 2021. And the rest. So, I'm impatiently looking forward to receiving the oath invitation.
And thanks for the hint. The only correspondence with an office indication was for the file number which is Sydney.

It happened to me, they requested another fingerprint as the previous one expired! Fingerprints are only valid for one year, they also sent me a citizenship test invitation although I finished my test 3 months ago and the result was validated and updated in the tracker as complete !

after u gave ur fingerprint, how many days they took to update the status? Today, I gave my fingerprint in Vancouver, they said they sent it to Ottawa. From Ottawa, they will send it to the IRCC Vancouver office. I don't know how many days it takes for them to complete.

It took about 2 weeks

Very few people seem to getting the second fingerprint letter, like mine never came even after 5 months also, did the 2nd fingerprints based on ATIP notes to try out my luck

Finally had an update yesterday.
A year after taking the test, I need now to attend an interview on April 12th. My wife did not have this request.
I don't know if I should be happy that there is an update, or be worried because of the interview.
Any thoughts ?
Thank you

We have almost the same timeline, except I got language and prohibitions completed in May, basically all(except for oath) completed by the end of May 2022.
Then I got an interview invite in December. I have not received any update since the interview, only a couple of ghost updates on my application page.
So be prepared to be ignored again after the interview.

btw, do you have any idea why you got an interview invite? in my case, I left the country after I applied and spent around a year abroad.

What did they ask you during the interview ?
I hope they are not requesting the interview because I am an EE immigrant but living in Quebec (but my wife did not receive and interview request). Or may be regarding my work history : I worked in one company but in different roles.
I also suspect the address on my DL. My previous address in written in the front of it, and my current address is written on a sticker on the back.

The interview process took around 10 minutes, they checked our passports and travel history and asked questions about current employer and job title. That was basically all they asked, nothing special.
There was a guy, whom they allowed to take oath right after the interview. So if you are lucky enough you can get such a privilege lol
