FYI just following up on my experience:Received my oath date for May 17th ( tracker updated May 9th, email May 10th) but I have pre-planned trip to UK from May 19th - June 4th that I cannot cancel. I have followed procedure and emailed them back requesting to re-schedule to another date, but does anyone know when I might get a response or what may happen? I am quite nervous, because the oath is less than a week away and I am not sure what to do. While I sincerely appreciate getting an oath date finally - the timing is very unfortunate!
My office is Vancouver but received oath invitation from Edmonton office IRCC.
I did not attend my original oath ceremony on May 17th since I had an important trip planned from May 19th- June 4. I responded to the email address I received stating why I could not attend along with ticket proof, submitted a web form & also called an agent to confirm they have received my email/details. Agent said the details were added to my file and my oath will be re-scheduled at a later date.
I came back from my trip and waited patiently for another oath date but I was not sure when it would come. I submitted a web form inquiry on June 26th inquiring when I may expect a new oath date (just to get some sort of timeline expectation). I received a response on June 26th stating that my file is with Vancouver office and they are verifying if I meet the eligibility requirements to be granted Canadian citizenship (which doesn't make sense because I already received an oath date before?).Anyways I am happy to say I received a new oath date ceremony for July 14 this morning
(via email, tracker still showing old oath date). So if anyone is under the process of re-scheduling their oath ceremony, mine took 2 months to get a new date.My test window was exactly the same as yours and the status generally gets updated few days after the completion of the test. Because it has been so long since you did your test, you should given them a call or send a web-form request. Did you complete it before the midnight on the 9th? Because 9th was the last day of the test window. What was your score?
