No, my prohibition is still in progress. So the oath hasn't started yet.
Just need a clarification. Did you correct your name or Date of Birth in your birth country during this waiting period ?

What I learned from the CSIS screening is, all the Citizenship applications go for CSIS Integrated Bank Search to prove no Anti Money Laundering (AML) or terrorist financing was done. CSIS searches for the Name and D.O.B in your birth country using KYC (Know Your Customer Data & Identification) system and validates your details.
If the Name and D.O.B matches and there is no red indicators, CSIS will share the recommendation to IRCC. IRCC completes the Background verification based on response from CSIS on Security Screening and Criminality clearance from RCMP.
In case, if the Name and D.O.B doesn't match, then your application goes into the waiting period with no further action from CSIS.

With this assessment, I did verification of my documents like Passport, Tax Assessment (PAN, TIN), Driving License, Bank Accounts where all my personal details matches correctly.
However, recently i discovered even though all the documents has the correct details, my personal details specifically D.O.B in the KYC (Know Your Customer) system is updated incorrectly and not matching with my identify documents.
Personal data goes to KYC system through your Bank.

Strange thing here is Bank is having the correct data but KYC is having incorrect data.

To resolve this mismatch, now, I have requested to re-KYC by providing the supporting documents.
