The average person is taking about 8-9 months. You have your random cases that take over the 18 months or the random cases that take only 4 months. It’s honestly luck of the draw.

Oh I understand this, for the longest time I was checking the tracker at least 3 times a day but then I found out that it only gets updated once a day at around 6:30 am.

So i finally got my Oath date, 30th Aug. But i am travelling on 3rd Sept and i feel this is very short time for me to get a canadian passport. anyone has delayed their oath. How long do they take to reschedule it?

You can still get Canadian passport next day with urgent pickup option and proof of travel. Depending on where your travel is to, might need a visa though.

how long does it take to get the citizenship cert? because the instructions i got says 2-4 days.
Some people have reported being able to download within a few hours but for some others it takes a few days. So yes, safer option is to either postpone the travel date by a few days or postpone oath by replying to the oath invite email when you get it. You might not get a reply, but once you are back in Canada might have to send your proof of return and they will schedule another oath date. When is unpredictable, may be a few weeks to months. What office is processing your oath? Is it virtual?

I haven't got the invite email yet. just got an update on the portal. But for my test i got email from Niagara office so i am assuming its gonna be the same office. i am just not sure of the cert time. if its few hours, i can go for the ceremony. I am also concern about rescheduling. anyone had similar experience.

I was told it may take 3-4 months for Oath. I hope not :(
Try not to lose hope my friend. Sometimes you have to take what these agents say with a grain of salt. I just spoke to someone who I asked if she thought I would have my oath at least by November and she said well wait time is 18 months but your file seems to be moving nicely so I would imagine by November you should have it. So point is that they’re pretty much just reading off of a script with their 3-4 months, with their “the process is 18 months” “your file looks good, we will contact you if we need something”

Anyone here waiting on oath? How long after the required steps were all marked complete before your oath date was set in the tracker? All of my required steps were complete in the tracker July 11th but the oath still shows not started.

If your travel is not for some serious reason, expect them not to accept your request for reschedule.

So i received the notice to appear for oath on 30th Aug, and i sent an email back to them requesting them not to cut my PR card, process e-certificate urgently, or to postpone the ceremony as i am travelling in 3 days after the oath and it would coast me thousands of dollars to postpone the trip. I just got a standard reply saying this is notice to appear and not an invite.

Can someone please share their timeline for getting e-cert after oath from Niagara office. Or if someone had similar experience and what they did in this situation.
