Edmonton Citizenship June 2019 Applicants

[edmonta]

Hi,

Anyone here from Edmonton,Alberta?

My question is I applied in June,2019.

File reached on 24th June,2019.

Citizenship test cleared on Jan 20,2020 from Edmonton.

Application status is showing decision made from February 2020 onward but no call for oath or date yet.

Anyone having same timeline or any updates?

I can see some movements in Ontario & even in Calgary office with same timeline but nothing here in Edmonton.

Anyone who has got same timeline or updates regarding Virtual Oath/dates can throw some light.

Thanks,

same for me. DM since February 2020 but nothing going on since then.
In my ECAS it was mentioned before that a decision has been made.
Later they removed that line from ECAS and now it is only showing exam given in January 2020.

So they reversed the application to in process status again, if so did you call the call center to investigate as to why?

Hi,

It is still showing decision made outside but when I click that status, inside-the line is gone which was like"a mail will be sent/has been sent about decision on application."
The another strange thing is that my wife's ECAS is showing" in process" and we both gave exam on same day,same time & even we were interviewed together.
Last month I sent them case specific inquiry and as per them Edmonton office is working on our application and nothing is needed at this time.

I am not understanding you because when decision is made, Ircc does not add any line, so there is non to removed.

It could mean the grant was rejected?

"Decision Made - ..If we refused your application, you don’t meet the requirements for citizenship. We’ll send you a letter by registered mail explaining why."

How did you derive this negative conclusion?

It does not mean application is rejected.

I sent them case specific inquiry last month and they said It's in process but delayed due to Covid.

I didn’t derive any conclusions. I was asking maybe it could be based on your message that it now says a mail will be sent and what it says on the website. Under normal circumstances it would just say Decision Made and you’d get an oath invite.

Based on this new info you just provided it seems that letter is an Oath invitation!

Let us know what the mailed letter says. Good luck to you!

I have the same timeline, more or less (app sent late June 2019, test in January 2020).
my original ceremony date was March 31st in Edmonton, but then the covid showed up, so it was cancelled last minute.
I just received an email: I have my New ceremony via Zoom on August 5th (next week). It’s very bitter sweet... I wish I would have been able to have a full oath ceremony experience, but well. I’ll do it alone from my living room!
I didn’t ask for any urgent my processing either.
