October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[Goooo123]

I am waiting since Feb. 11, but I called CIC last week and they told me that the background and security check is complete and just the office in Saskatoon will send me the invitation. I do not know how long will it take them to send me the invitation as I checked online and the only available dates are Aug. 24th and Sep. 24th in Regina.

Please update my tracker - decision made today!

Also - it says I’ll be notified by mail about the decision. I’m assuming it’s positive right? Will I get a letter saying “approved” prior to the oath invite?

 

[Fwheelbooler]

No, no its abosolutely fine, I told you that you could have the pen, no issues, come on as humans if we can't do this much, it's a shame..hope to see you in the Oath as well, and hope we get the date for Sep!

Awesome, thanks! I got my DM today so I’m in an excellent mood!

All the best for the oath!

I called the CIC today and they said most likely we should get Oath Ceremony by the end of Sep/ beginning of Oct and most likely in my case I should receive it by email, as I chose preferred method of communication by email.

All the very best to you too!

Next correspondence from them would be the oath invite. Should be a positive decision. You'd know when to expect a negative decision. A rocky application usually ends up with additional document requests, and/or hearing with a Citizenship judge.

Yes. 2 days in general is what they say we have to wait before applying for passport.
