Scarborough -DM-Oath

Oath invitation received for 04 Sep @ 9 am in Mississauga.
App received 20 Oct 2017
App approved 10 March 2018
Oath Date 04 Sep 2018


Took longer to schedule oath ceremony (approx 6 months) than to process application (approx 5 months).
Bottom line- Application processing time is not a true reflection of becoming Canadian citizen (at least for some processing centers), however for most cases the whole process is completed within 12 months.

Good luck to those still waiting (especially Oct applicants). Take it easy, its just a matter of time!
Congrats, looks like they are really trying to finish the October crowd.

"Does anyone have any experience in Mississauga office for taking kids with them during oath ceremony? I have a 2 years old son that is very active and I'm not sure how the stuff react if he starts to running around etc, any feedback would be really appreciated."

"If you son is fussy and running around they will asked you to get someone to take him outside the room so it’s would be a good idea to have someone with you in case he is fussy.There is a TV screen outside the room where the person with you could look at the Ceremony."


I second that. However, I'd go as far as telling you, based on how you describe your son and my experience yesterday, it's necessary to bring someone to take care of him; otherwise you will have a hard time.

Yes, we discussed it here sometimes ago, it is always better to have someone with you to assist with a child just in case the child will require assistance and you are not able to go out of the room.

Dear All,

I finally received my invitation for the ceremony. My timeline is:

App sent: October 12, 2017
App received: October 16, 2017
AOR: Oct 31, 2017
In process: Nov 14, 2017
Test notice: Jan 11, 2018
Test taken: Jan 29, 2018 in Scarborough
Decision made: ?
Oath invitation: August 13, 2018 (ECAS status updated on August 15, 2018)
Oath ceremony: August 31, 2018 in Mississauga

Often it felt like the waiting period would never end and that was a transforming experience. Getting others' updates on this forum helped alleviate the uncertainty and made getting through the waiting period a bit easier.

May the invitations of those still waiting arrive soon.
