What do you think it’s good


Dear immigration officer,

I would like to check when we can expect an Oath Ceremony invitation.

Everything other than Oath has been completed and Oath is at "Not started".

Thank you for taking the time to respond to the email.

Please advise me
Thanks
Why are you rushing this? Many applications from 2021 are still processing. Considering your languages section was updated in April, I’d say wait and be patient like the person the phone advised. If you push them on this, what’s the guarantee they’ll expedite the process for your application?

November 2021?! Wow! This is over 19-month processing mark! If I were you I would contact MP, be sending webform every week/month asking for an update/more information.

Yeah well, if you look at the excel tracker, approx 40% of the applicants from November 2021 are still in the process. There was Covid lockdowns you know, that slowed down everyone’s applications. Mine is complete recently btw, just so you know.

Not really. Excel tracker is unreliable. Many who gets completed their oaths don’t return to mark. Furthermore that’s only a fraction of all the applicants. Applicants now lost faith in the process. As some get processed very fast and some goes to very long backlog queues. No one wants to get to stuck more than the usual time due to the previous experiences of being unnecessarily stucked. I don’t think it’s fair to say to someone who waited this long to be patient. It’s okay to try everything in your power without loosing it.

Well these are opinions at this point. To each their own. I myself wonder sometimes, if pushing the IRCC agents via phone calls and emails actually expedites many cases. I also wonder if pushing them by communicating with them, when they've already asked you to be patient, will actually have any good bearing on your application. After all they still have the power to reject an application, and they're all human beings at the end of the day. So how you present yourself and your personal comportment, might matter. So it seems to stay a matter of using ones wisdom, based on your own personal situation. And no one can argue that applications were delayed and still are being delayed due to Covid jacking up the state of affairs with many people's application processes, be it PR or Citizenship. Also bear in mind, in the case above the applicant has already reached out to the IRCC on the phone once and it's their agent who has asked the applicant to be patient. So there's that.

But Id also like to add that I agree with you in spirit, and understand the unjustness of the long processing times that have gone on for many years for a lot of us. I do not condone it. I think it is unfair to applicants who applied in good faith and submitted all the required documents and paid good money not only in fees but also taxes. I think we all deserve better.

You are not alone in this - I am so frustrated also.

Everything was changed to completed May 2nd (with the exception of the oath).. and I have had nothing since then!! And before the May update I had zero updates since completing my test in AUGUST 2022 - I had to wait 9 months for the last update, so I guess I should just wait until Feb 2024 for my next update.

After months and months of waiting they've finally given me a test date and a request for fingerprints at the same time.
