Thanks Stef, I heard similar reason from CIC when I got my test invitation relatively late compare to other members in this forum. At this time I am still wondering why oath invitations for many applicants are getting delayed even after decision made ? Do they continue more background check even after decision made? Even some centre get test/oath invitation within a week and some centres need to wait for months. No one know the reason.
Hi, it pretty much depends on your local Citizenship office schedules.
For an example, Edmonton office still haven't schedule any oath ceremonies past November 14. So applicants who already has given their test are waiting to receive their invitations,.Whereas Calgary has already schedule the oath ceremonies until January 05, 2018.
So its very likely the Calgary residents will be receiving invites earlier than Edmonton residents.
Cheers...
