MIS has the most numerous and frequent oaths of all offices, but it's also the largest. from what I've seen over the last few months, we should ideally get scheduled for oath this week (next week latest) for about 2 weeks out. Oath date at the earliest first week of July, or the week after at the latest end of July. this is just a guesstimate and with numerous sessions on Canada Day, maybe soon.
i really hope so. thank you for responding.

Would anyone know what am i supposed to do here?

Officially Canadian!

Took the Oath yesterday and just downloaded the certificates.

The complete timeline was 6 months and 14 days (including today for certificate download).

God bless and best wishes to everyone!

Hi All,

I have been with no update on my Background since April 1st. I ordered the GCMS notes and the criminality has passed but security is blank and its page is also blank.

Does anyone have a clue on what should be done in this case or what does it mean?

Thanks,

I am in the same boat, requested gcms notes. I think we should submit a complaint on this. Can you all check if the pending items are assigned as rc-8090 this is actually sydney office

Is there anything to be done in this case?
it's not blank, it's redacted. this from my xp with GCMS depends on privacy vs ATIP as well as your ATIP coordinator... you can make a privacy act request and pay $5. the ones I paid for always had more info i.e. less redacted, but if you see the s15, s16 at the top right, it's redacted for security/procedural integrity reasons.

uninformed guess is this has to do with the officer looking at your app and not their partners CSIS CBSA RCMP etc. unless they may be obvious concerns, criminal history, ties to hostile countries, protected, etc. they wouldn't take April 1st to today long to respond.

I am exactly in the place, everything passed for me on tracker since April 14th, Order GCMS notes criminality has based, but security is black and same as you a black page around security.

I got the email scheduled for the citizenship ceremony on July 2nd today!
Is anyone having the same day for the oath?

Also, a few hours ago before that email, on the tracker, my Physical Presence was marked as Completed but Citizenship ceremony - still "Not started" (even after the email),
so I thought I had to wait for a couple more weeks... :D

Finally, 2 good news on the same day! Best wishes to all December applicants!
