You are within the normal range. There are people who applied back in 2017 and still waiting. You should be expecting a Test Inivte some time around March-April.

Hi Folks,
I just happen to check my ECAS today and found the statement below:
" We sent you a notice on January 24, 2019 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on February 11, 2019 at XXX PM. The notice you will receive will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us."

We have not received any email or notice via mail , Should I contact them now ? Does anyone else have the same issue ? Kindly advice.

Hi, I encountered the exact same situation as you a couple weeks ago. They sent postal mail and it arrived exactly 1 week before my ceremony. At first I was nervous so I called them to get the location. The agent advised me it is fine to go without the letter, the only extra form you have to sign is the media release form. She sent me a list of documents to bring where oath letter is listed as if available. She told me to print my ECAS status if it makes me feel less stressful
At my ceremony there was someone without the oath letter and after he informed them, they were fine with it.
Just make sure you get the location from the agent and reconfirm the date and time, you should be fine. In the mean time, keep checking your mail box.
Have a great time there like I did!

So even they already updated your ecas to DM they will still put there an update regarding the oath invite?

Hi Libu,
Please update my status. The journey as Permanent resident ended on Tuesday 29 January 2019 as I swore the oath of citizenship.

I will to encourage everyone whose case has been quiet to hang on you are closer than you think. During the ceremony it was mentioned that only 20 officers are handling all Edmonton (Alberta) case and over 17000 cases was treated last year alone (guessing those guys are working very hard) i can imagine the numbers of applicants from the likes of Brampton, Calgary etc.

Keep the faith up and thank you everyone for all your suggestions and experiences

 

[macwhitby]

congratulations!

Thanks Carola !

Have you received your passport yet?

Not yet. But I only went to the passport office last Friday (25th) and they said it'd be about two weeks. I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival though. In many ways, having the passport in my hand will feel like the symbolic end of journey, rather than the oath and citizenship certificate.
