[tom93]

October 8th applicant here. Got my AOR on Nov. 6th, ghost update on Nov. 11th, and nothing after...

Applied Oct 29. AOR Nov 27 and BG completed on Dec 1. Silence after that.

Did you try reaching out to customer care? What did they say?

I sent a web form 3 weeks ago, and still haven't gotten anything back. I will try calling tomorrow. Is it the just the general IRCC number?

Same here,
AOR Nov 16 (Family of 4)
BG completed Nov 29 for me but not for my husband.
Called IRCC, our application is still at Sydney office and should be transferred to MTL office. No explanation given by the agent, juste to wait.

My husband passed the citizenship test on Dec 13. Still no updates on the tracker for the citizenship test.
Anyone on the same boat?

e-certificate in email : Dec 14 2023
Oath ceremony : Dec 21 2023 COMPLETED

For Oath ceremony, I was asked to bring in PR card and then one more identity card like DL, this additional ID is not needed for minors under 14.
I would advise to keep your health card if in case they ask for it.
They did not ask for my COPR neither did they ask me to write anything on it.
I cut my PR card and then took Oath and sang O Canada

For the Oath of citizenship form, take a print out and sign after the ceremony, scan and send it to email provided in the form. In subject line we where asked to write like this
"Oath form Dec 21st 2023 1:15PM File # C00....."
No need to send this form for minors under 14

Once this is done it will take 5 business day to get e certificate. we where told to expect around Jan 3-5

Good luck all, i am officially Canadian Citizen now

Anyone from October still waiting for test invite?

I am waiting. Got my fingerprints done on 30th November still no update.

How is LPP proceeding for October candidates? I think it’s pretty slow as compared to previous months submissions.
My test was finished on 12/1 and updated on 12/5. Since then - silence!

Good morning everyone,

Can we take the test right away after the test window starts? Or I have to wait for a day?

For example if my test window starts on 18th Dec 12:00 am eastern time I can take the test few hours later?

Pls advise

Thanks
