No update from IRCC on citizenship oath ceremony. Next steps?
- Thread starter Zero-Transparency
- Start date
No.
There is nothing at all akin to that in my observations.
To be sure, however, to the extent posts in this forum are contrary to what is clearly fact and largely a distraction, with more than a little malice underlying the insults aimed at fellow-Canadians, of course I will sometimes remind the majority of visitors and participants how and why those are untrue or unwarranted, and urge that those views do not represent Canada or Canadian values. And do not represent the majority of forum participants, particularly those who are here to help others better navigate the process.
I get it that pointing out how utterly wrong some views are may chill their expression. I hope so.
But sure, anyone has a right to express whatever. When what they express is unfounded, untrue, or utterly unreasonable, however, they do not have the right to be shielded from it being called out.
And to be clear, I in fact I agreed with your observation, which I quoted and am quoting here again:
Notwithstanding the rather sordid history of the U.S., especially in terms of its persistently insidious racism and corruption, I too am nonetheless shocked at just how aggressively so much of the U.S. has steamed ahead, as noted, damn-the-torpedoes. It is indeed staggering, rather mind-boggling. What is going on south of our border seems like utter insanity .
I do not have a crystal ball so I cannot forecast what will for sure happen in the coming months, but it very much looks like the U.S. is driving hard toward a cliff, the lemming population apparently hovering around 40 percent according to recent polls and hell-bent on at least pushing things to the edge if not over.
Last thing Canada should do, the very last thing, is in any way emulate the beast south of our border.
Canada is managing its way through perhaps its most severe crisis in my lifetime, and I've been around a good long while. The hard consequences are not so bad at the moment, but that is largely because of the protective measures implemented AND in significant part employed by enough Canadians to make a difference . . . compare, for example, how things are going right next door.
This is a transitory phase. IRCC is clearly evolving, adapting its procedures, perhaps continually.
There is nothing unprofessional about giving the public notice that efforts are being made but for now the department cannot process queries about when individual applicants will be scheduled for the oath other than to be giving notice to those they manage to schedule for such a ceremony.
In contrast, there are many signs that scores of people are making inquiries and demanding information despite being well aware of the overwhelming burden IRCC is bearing during this crisis. That is abusive.
That said, I am confident that scores and scores more recognize the nature of these times and are being patient, doing their part to help not hinder. I applaud them. I am confident that many, probably most visitors to this forum, and most participants, belong to this latter group. Those who know and behave like we are all in this together. I want to acknowledge them, their patience, their fortitude, their commitment to becoming citizens in fact not just in status.

What will happen if you missed the call? Would they send an email?
Just finished the virtual ceremony, everything went smoothly, and the clerk said that we will receive the citizenship certificate in 2 weeks. Best of luck to you all.
Oui, j'habite à Longueuil.Je vois que monsieur ou madame parle français.
Merci et felicitations
