Just completed the oath ceremony...maybe i shed a tear or two...I will never say (LOL). It was a surreal moment, watching the videos and seeing the many faces who are now Canadians...We took the oath.
The process took 1 hours 45 minutes. i thought it was very efficient. The instructions after were very clear. I already submitted the oath form...within 10 minutes of ceremony ending. So at this stage its a waiting game for the certificate. I did receive confirmation that the form was received (but its Scarborough) so we will see.

Wishing all those who are waiting all the very best. Don't be discouraged as much as the system may be slow.
It will happen.
Next Step : Receipt of Certificate and Application of passport...
As an update, I received the e-cert this afternoon for myself but not for my son....waiting on that.

I have now received both our certificates. Our Citizenship Application journey has ended.
Please do not be discouraged. While we hope that there will more efficiencies to the system, as slow as it is in some respects it works.
This forum was extremely helpful and supportive. I have used it from my application for PR, Renewal of PR and Application for citizenship
All the very best.

Anyone from Scarborough office still waiting for oath date after LPP completed? Been waiting since Nov 23 when LPP completed for oath to get started. Getting a bit anxious because it seems lots of people with SCR office are starting to get oath dates lol.

Thanks for answering yes this helps , only difference is that it’s for an adult and child . I wanted to know if applications with a child takes longer than a single adult or two adults .

Because I'm still waiting for an update for oath .
(LLP : Nov. 27)
