That’s very strange it is that far away. I haven’t seen anyone like that before but I also have not seen any KW ones recently.

If it's that far out, it is most likely in-person.

I suppose if in-person and in places where they are held less frequently - but I'm only guessing. Certainly in Toronto they're held several times a week (or at least can be, don't know regular practice).

Every Monday in Kitchener, sometimes 3 ceremonies a day but I've always seen at least 2. Been checking for the past several months now (Oct since I applied). Perhaps they're moving more and more virtual ceremonies to in-person now and hence the delay?

Wow, in that case it does surprise me they're that backed up.

I am under impression too that they've been moving to more in-person.

Hi guys. Does anyone have Montreal as a processing office? I moved from the August 2024 group because almost everyone already got their Ceremonies. My LPP was November 29 and there's been no movement since then.

There are a few of us here and few people on reddit and seems everyone is delayed in Montreal. But LPP complete since November 29th, that is extremely long. Did you try calling or sending a webform?

I didn't as my processing time is still good, I ordered GCMC notes and waiting for results.

looks like your case is similar to me I was scheduled for Oath on March 24 2025 and tracker was updated with this information on Jan 24 2025. I have learned that I will be receiving an invite for in-person ceremony at Kitchener.

Same here, On Jan 24th my status was updated stating my oath ceremony is scheduled for March 24th but have not received any invitation so far.
I have contacted IRCC and I am expected to receive an invitation for in-person ceremony. Mostly I should receive my invite next week otherwise I should contact IRCC again
