March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[forw.jane]

what's the difference between these 2?
I thought it was the Oath ceremony,
are they 2 separate events on different days?

We need to be physically there to attend them?

"Oath scheduled" date is when its visible on tracker and "Ceremony scheduled" is when the actual ceremony will happen. Can be online or zoom. Details come in the email.

hi admin - pls update tracker to reflect scanned passport pages request on June 29, submitted June 30/2023

Update:
Just had my interview today with the officer - literally a quick 5 min chat lol.
I will be scheduled for my oath in a few weeks. God is good

Had a call with an agent today, he took a few minutes just to tell me the same thing, nothing is required from me and to just wait. Getting close to 4 months since I took the Test on May 19th. I understand that I'm still well within the processing time but there should be some rhyme or reason to application processing. Either way back to waiting for now. Hopefully will get some good news very soon.

Hey! Jan 2023 paper applicant here from Mississauga. Waiting for LPP since Test completed on May 17th, 2023. Hoping to get an update soon... calling the customer care has no influence on the turnaround time. GCMS notes might share more details if need a more reliable update.

I always see your very active in the forum and your always giving positive, patient advise. I do hope you yourself gets some good news soon. Im also with the dreaded Mississauga office. I ordered my GCMS notes last Saturday hoping to see whats the hold up.
Guess what? we have nothing to do but wait as they take their sweet little time.

Hi, My timeline and yours are pretty much the same, took test on May 12th, then May 19th citizenship test changed to complete also took me roughly 4 months to get LPP completed on Sept 8th, and ghost update Sept 12th, should be getting oath ceremony letter in 1-2 weeks. So just be patient there's really nothing we can do but keep busy and wait yours will happen from 1-2 weeks for LPP to complete. Same Toronto/Mississauga as you.

Hi all. My LPP was approved Aug 31st and on Sep 7th tracker was updated to show Oath scheduled Oct 4th but this morning it got changed to Oct 14th. I didnt receive any email yet. I need to travel urgently as a family member recently had surgery. Am I able to request early oath. Please suggest if I should do so...email or call or web inquiry?
