Canceled Citizenship Ceremony
- Thread starter Kelvin0147
- Start date
We applied on Dec 16, 2022, and our upcoming ceremony was cancelled on Aug 30, 2023, 7 days before the ceremony date. The USA job offer letter helped us a lot in January 2024. We also gave through WebForm a detailed explanation why it is important for us to get our application expedited. I submitted through WebForm first, and my immigration consultant made an explanation. Then IRCC notified me that this letter was put in queue to be reviewed by an officer. Unfortunately, during 1 month and 1 week there was no action on part of IRCC. I contacted my MP regarding this and she contacted IRCC about 4 times to ask about the status of the review. We also sent the copy of the letter by regular mail to Scarborough office. I also sent it by e-mail to Scarborough office. We also went to Scarborough to talk in person but could not meet with anyone apart from a security guy. There was no any action. Finally, when it was 1 month before the expiration of the offer, my MP raised a ticket and escalated the case. She said the officer was "unwilling" to do so as the application was "non-routine and with no processing times" (BS!!! Always say so, on no grounds apparently) but she insisted saying that the expiration date is nearing. 2 days after the escalation we got the new date (Feb 5 2024). About 10 hours before we got it I also wrote to Marc Miller (I do not know if it really helped). That's the story.
My original Oath was for July 2023, re-scheduled to October and cancelled due to 'booking error'. I haven't heard since. Have you got yours re-schedule yet?
My Oath was 2023-Sep 7th, I didn't get any email and almost have mental illness from waiting.
Email the following officer : you will be scheduled she won’t reply but one to 2 weeks she will reschedule the ceremony

Now, this is what you'll do. 1. Request GCMS; from there, you will learn the true status of your application. 2. Write to your local MP and explain your situation, however, most of these MPs are difficult to reach, you may need to write multiple emails, make calls, or even visit their office before they can react. 3. Send many webforms to IRCC, may be it will wake-up your application. 4. Send an email to marie-josee.dorion@cic.gc.ca, explaining your circumstance. 5. If you have an international job offer, present this letter to your local MP, and attach it to a webform and request for an urgent update. 6. This is the final step, apply for Mandamus, this is a formal legal proceeding that you would be taking against IRCC to request that they process your case and render a decision.
I thought all people from September 2023 cancellation got their ceremonies rescheduled! Me and my peers did. In my case it was my MP, but the IRCC officer called Marie was super-effective for helping others. Try write to her. It's abnormal that they did not reschedule you yet. That's all I can say, I do not have time to keep correspondence with anyone, here, sorry. May God help you!
