Scarborough -DM-Oath

[Pixiegirl]

This might be a redundant question, and I apologize in advance. But anybody knows if there is any estimate timeline from Test-->DM and DM-->Oath in Scarborough center?

If you look at the spreadsheet, you might get an idea, but nobody knows for sure.
Some people get test very fast and then wait ages for Oath, some wait for test forever and get the Oath straight away...
Seems like there is no rule to it.

Does anyone ever wait both test and oath for ages?

I periodically checked the status online in past few days. and very strangely a few minutes after I posted the question here, my profile got updated . Maybe they check this forum more than their email Anyway, the only thing is that they mentioned in the status that they notified me the same date as well but I didn't get any email. I hope it is a problem with the email only and they send me the notice via mail. Thanks anyway for your quick response.

Double check that it didn't go to your spam folder. And I would still give them a call, even to check is the email address they have correct.
You might have to use the Web form if the person on the phone is not able to do it.

People who are getting the Oath ceremony emails. What day and time exactly you guys are receiving these emails? I am trying to find out if Scarborough office send emails for Oath randomly or if there is a pattern for day and time in a week...

Please reply with your Day and Time you received the Oath invite emails.

Thanks for the tip. I checked but nothing in the spam folder. I tried to call them several times but it says due to high call volumes, I can not be connected to an agent! . I have already sent them a note using the web form, but I guess it takes several days to get an answer.

You might be one of those that will get test late and Oath soon after. It takes them a while to do all the background checks as well.

When I called them last time, I tried around 30 times, just to get through and wait for 37 minutes to speak to a "real" person and didn't find out anything new anyway

Thanks Pixiegirl. Hope you get oath soon

Me too hahaha PR card expires soon, so we will be air locked until getting Canadian passports. Good enough that in case of an emergency, we can still cross the US border with CoPR (but would need to get a flight into Buffalo or Detroit coming back from Europe)

passed the test and interview today. The officer said that Oath could be up to September-October (worst case) but he thinks it probably be mid summer. (we applied Nov 2017)

It seems that people get Path invites on either a Friday or a Monday.

We should hope for the best, here is the policy from IRCC to notify candidates for Oath

Notifying candidates: Notice to appear to take the oath of citizenship
Citizenship staff should send the “Notice to Appear – To Take the Oath of Citizenship” form [CIT 0024 CIF2] to candidates who have met all the requirements for citizenship. This notice should be mailed to the applicant at least 14 calendar days before the ceremony so that it reaches each candidate at least seven days before the ceremony.

And worth noting this from IRCC as well...

How long will I wait between my citizenship test and the ceremony?
We will give you the results of your test right after you take it.

If you meet all the requirements for citizenship, including passing the citizenship test, we will invite you to a ceremony to take the Oath of Citizenship. Your ceremony will normally take place within six months after you pass the test.
