Scarborough -DM-Oath

[emamabd]

This is actually a situation of the "blind leading the blind" we are all just guessing and using various theories based on perceived knowledge. I love this forum because it is an avenue to let off the stress of waiting and learn about others in the similar situation. It does helps.

No doubt! Being blind together is better than being blind alone!

I think these numbers show the average for the lucky ones, the ones that are still left hanging without an Oath invite are probably not counted/considered? Thats my guess...cause it displays worst case scenario as 104 days from the test to Oath invite. While we have fellow members here who already crossed the 3rd,4rth,5th and 6th months mark already.

Call customer service and ask them the status. They will advise you if the BC are complete; Scarborough usually sets up the interview when all checks are clear. Sometimes the officer does not update ecas.

Thanks RP1! But - What is BC (British Columbia)? Which telephone? I've been using 888-242-2100, but it always ends with automated message repeating that I can check my status online which I do 2x weekly. So I have a feeling that my file got stuck since my test was on Jan 24 and since then it's still "in process", no DM. I know few people who applied one week earlier than me and already had their in January. And I know people who applied after me and already had their oath in February. I feel like something is wrong, I'm in Canada 5 years already, I've got a child born here and I have renewed my PR. Why it had to be clogged with my case, lol? I applied on Sep 29, 2017. Anybody to encourage me?

Hey guys! Iam moving to Oakville in about 3 weeks can. I request Scarborough to transfer my applicationto to the office in Oakville?

 

[Paval]

I called ircc and the said it is feasible as long as they have a valid address on file.

BC = background checks (in this forum)
After your test, during the interview, did they ask you many questions or did they say everything looks fine and you should wait for the Oath invitation?
We are in Canada over 5 years also, applied in September, passed test on Feb 27 and still waiting for Oath (even that DM showed up online the next day).

Omg, are you joking me?! The only thing why I became nervous is the story of my friend who applied one day after she collected necessary days, passed the test, had some kind of interview, then they realized she traveled to often to the USA (where her sister got a baby) then they were checking her passport and entries ONE YEAR and then finally rejected with NO EXPLANATION. She took a lawyer, went to appeal and she was rejected her again without explanation. OK that was under previous government, but this waiting period while they're doing god knows what in their offices makes you feel a little bit second tier. Or a little bit more... Anyway, the feeling that infact they can do whatever they want is not the good one.

Fair enough. But it's better than nothing. I believe 2 months are average

If your friend used the online calculator and entered all the trips accordingly, she shouldn't have issues (unless there was something else). If she or her lawyer requested notes from her file, the explanation has to be there (maybe she just doesn't want to tell anyone), I know because I worked for an Immigration lawyer and if they ask for an explanation, they get one.

Did the officer tell you that everything looks good in your file, or mentioned that there are still checks to be made? Usually they tell you when you can expect the oath invitation if there are no concerns from their side.
We were told to expect it before September (1 year mark).

 

[A.H.A]

My hope is getting narrow and so much frustration but somehow my heart say I still got over a month or I will loss 6k ...I hope some karma happens and wish everyone same ..

The officer told me only that by 1 year mark I should get an answer (or everything done). I think she said 'an answer', then she asked me to leave because there were many other people waiting to be interviewed. Strange.
My friend told me that there was no explanation (probably there was something very general, like not enough proofs that she will live in Canada, because the law was such that they could do almost whatever they wanted, it was 6 years ago) and that she was in shock as well as her lawyer who wanted to go to media and escalate it further. But my friend gave up finally, because she already moved to Spain for work, and actually didn't care much. OK, that's an ugly story, and I applied almost two months after I gathered 1460 days. Let's hope we don't share the same destiny. My daughter is born here, I'm staying anyway. With PR you can live equally more or less the same life, but it's somehow nuisance to always be in a second tier, and with the feeling that the country that you're living in doesn't want you.

Just see my timeline in July applicant, and you can see mine as the worst one!

Don’t feel disillusioned. It’s very frustrating, I agree, and I’m wondering, with so many ceremonies scheduled for May, how come no one on this forum (after the first few two weeks ago) has got an invite.
Clearly there is some internal issue that we’re unaware of.
But, because of this process that is, quite clearly, affecting many, don’t feel that this wonderful country doesn’t want you.
You’ve come so far...it’s more streamlined than it was in years past, it’ll happen, and you’ll, all of a sudden, forget this angst.
Good luck to all.
