For those who have already received the oath invite letter - What time were you'll scheduled for? I have my oath date on my tracker, but still waiting for the invite via email for details. Just want to know approximately what time the ceremony is being scheduled for and how long?

I see updates for Oath on my tracker too. The Oath scheduled for mid next month but haven't received the invite.

It seems like it could take anywhere from 2-3 hours per other posts in the forum. Don't know when the ceremony will start though.

If you haven’t received it within 6 days PRIOR to your date (example date July 15, not received instructions by July 9) that’s when you contact the office for information.

It can take days and weeks before you receive instructions. Usually about a week before the date.

Yep, that's the plan. Hope it doesn't have to go that way. Plenty of time left.

Hi everyone..Could you help me with following questions:
1. For this question "Does the minor currently, or have they ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes their country of birth)?" is Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) considered immigration status..If yes; which type of status (i.e. Permanent Resident or Visitor) should I select for this?
2. For question "Have you ever held travel documents or passports during your 5-year eligibility period?"; I was on H1B visa in USA before I moved to Canada in July 2019. My H1B extension was in progress when I moved here and I received my approval and new I797 after I moved to Canada..Could you please confirm if travel document only includes USA stamped visa or does it include I797?..If it's I797 I am assuming I will have to enter details for the I797 that I received after moving to Canada as well.

1: yes

2: visas are not the same thing as travel documents.

I'm checking 20 times a day. I don't think there have been any updates for Toronto recently, for test invites

we will get there eventually, I reckon checking once a day is fine, checking too many times would create unnecessary tension...

1: yes

Thank you for your response..couple of follow-up questions...for #1; OCI should be considered as Visitor or Permanent Resident?...for #2; Do I only need to mention my passports (i.e. current and expired) or should I also include I797 details?
