January 2018 - Citizenship Applications

[Mrva21]

Hi Mrva21, I will complete a full year tomorrow and I didn't receive a test invite yet. Do you think I need to contact them or just wait? Please let me know if you get any updates. Thank you very much.

You can try and call them and speak to agent.Ask if there is any update on your applications since you haven't heard anything after receiving the AOR? They will most likely tell you that they will send email to your local office (i.e. CIC Mississauga) and that if you don't hear nothing back to call in February.

Thank you very much Mrva21 for your response. I will contact them after tomorrow.

Hi KRP,
I received a reply stating the required docs are with the responsible office. Was hoping miracles but seems like patience is the best solution. Feels so sad, man. But, once again, Patience! Patience! Patience! &&& PRAYERS!!! What is good will come @ the right time.

Hi drjafs, Sorry to hear about that. In the case of mbqureshi he contacted IRCC on 12th Dec since he was nearing 12 months in Jan 1st week but did not get any positive reply but on 24th Dec he got his Oath invitation.
I am not sure whether you have cleared the test and in Decision made status since 6 months. If that is the case then you could hear shortly.
If you are still in IN PROCESS stage then maybe still some background checks are going on .

I have already cleared the test in December first week. The status is Decision made too. Not sure how much more time? It Is mere nostalgia and exhaustion from a long drawn journey that's tests our patience. Nothing else. Things will happen when they should.

I was under the impression that you are under Decision Made like myself & mbqureshi since June 2018. After reading your post and all relevant forum threads I have a feeling you could get a invite before March end.

Hi Guys,

I need your help. I applied for my citizenship in Dec 2017. I got my test invite on 4th Oct 2018 and I got the oath invite for 9th january 2019.

However, I need to travel to Las Vegas for vacation which was pre-booked 4 months back. I cannot cancel it, as it not refundable.

I got the oath invite on 18 Dec, 2018 and the same day I mailed them to reschedule my oath date after my vacation.

I didn't get any reply or acknowledgement, hence I called the support guys and they put a note on my file.

Can I travel to US with Indian passport on 13 Jan, after I attend my oath on 9th Jan. I won't have enough time to go for my Canadian Passport.

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Considering the time line...you could get Canadian passport by Jan 12th if you opt for urgent and for weekend service. It is better to try like that than trying to travel on Indian passport after Oath (I understand there are options of 3 month grace etc but is always tricky).

It would be fine, as long a s you can return to Canada by road (show your new certificate to CBSA when u return). U won't be able to fly back.....

If I were you, i'd NOT miss the oath, because it may take a very long time to reschedule.

....And the invite is here

18th Jan is my Oath Ceremony, got an email just yesterday i.e 4th Jan

Good luck folks!
