They scheduled my oath for next week. I sent them a frustrating email saying Dec 1st and 2nd week applicants whose LPP were completed are left stranded and today I got my oath updated to Feb 14th

Thanks for letting me know. I guess we will wait until the end of this week before proceeding with an email.

I emailed the Mississauga Citizenship email twice and last week I sent another frustrated email asking why Dec 1st and 2nd week LPP were left stranded and Jan LPP completion were given Oath. Looks like they heard me and scheduled my Oath on Feb 14th.

Did you email the test email?

 

[Suryarao611]

Did you email the test email?

I sent email to test email and also to cic-mississuga-citizenship@cic.gc.ca, IRCC.DNMISCitizenshipceremony-ceremoniecitoyenneteMISRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

Hi All,
Completed the In-person ceremony at the Mississauga office today and received the paper version of the certificate. Wishing you all the very best in your process.

Hey congrats,
Can you say the list of things that we need to carry or good to have and anything that would be helpful…i have mine scheduled for thursday

 

[eddieMex]

It will take at least a day or two ... Also, it will be based on the Oath date provided on your tracker.. Have patience, mean while..

Thank you, I guess it is too soon. I got the date in tracker last week but the date is Feb 26th. So I guess there is time.

We are in similar position and I will update this thread once I received any news. Good luck in your application! hope we are now very close of taking the oath.

Good luck to you too.

It’s strange there hasn’t been any movement since we sent passport copies. Calling IRCC is pointless because they just keep saying there are no new updates than what you see on tracker.

You should order GCMS notes and see if IRCC requested for ICES. That could slow down things

Hey Guys! So today I received an email regarding the Citizenship Electronic Certificate. They sent me instructions on how to access this certificate. However, no oath date email yet. Should I expect an email/update soon? The citizenship ceremony on tracker is still "not started". Good luck everyone.

Same for me, I also received email for instructions on how to access this certificate today. Hopefully, an Oath invite will follow soon.

Thank you this is very helpful.

I won’t be surprised if that is the case because I do have extensive travel history to UK, Germany, multiple day trips and weekend stays in US. If that is the case what’s the timeline? Will it take months to get an update?

I have seen people who have that in GCMS notes stuck for months. Looks like that is true for anything which goes to CBSA.

That just sucks! Everything went smoothly until this passport copy request came up.
