2023 Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter GFLiam
- Start date
There is a WhatsApp group on a larger scale, and another June 2023, mentioned he had done the oath.
Keep in mind that many of these applicants have a Mandomus process initiated.
I can't believe the wait is over!!! I just got invited to take the oath! It is IN PERSON!!! May 27th!
Should I get the paper certificate or electronic? (I signed up for electronic when I applied).
P.S. I really hope that the wait for all of you here end soon as well. I know how painful this is ...

happy for ya. 2 years and you got that. enjoy your life
If you get the oath ceremony in person, you may not have a choice.
If you do: my personal preference is the paper. It looks nicer - and as best I can tell (eg passport office requirements), the new/recent paper ones have barcodes etc that mean they are equivalent of electronic.
I cannot prove this apart from fact the passport office accepts scans/copies for certificates accepted recently - so YMMV.
Just crossed the finish line too.
My oath changed to in progress on May 5th, and then on May 8th I got the oath invitation for May 15th in person.

After a long wait, my partner and I become citizens on Friday! Sharing because seeing others make it through gave me hope during our two year wait. We applied from Toronto and our file seems to have moved around a bit.

We requested GCMS notes several times, contacted our MP, etc. It seems like in the end we had to wait out my background , with everything moving quickly since then.
Good luck to everyone. The wait isn't fun but I'm grateful that I'll soon be a citizen.

Congrats! I'm glad to hear that some background check people are making it past the finish line.
Huge congrats.
I know people who applied a month or 2 after you did (AOR end of July) and they're stuck in BG. This gives me hope they're actually getting close to the finish line.
