Few Things to add
- I didnt request for urgent processing.
- I didnt receive any phone call. All communications came through email.
- I am not an essential worker
- I live in Niagara Falls but test was done in Scarborough. Also, citizenship ceremony was handled by officials from Niagara Office.
- Ceremony was quick and easy - 20minutes in total.
- 2 people took oath - Myself and another person(Not sure where this person is from)

Wish you all the best guys.
What a joke for those who applied 6 months before you, took the test a month after you, and still haven’t heard anything. Best of luck to you though!

There are always some exceptional cases. I understand how frustrating it is for those who're waiting for a long time. It is what it is.

Yes sure I will update you once i get the email. I am thinking we will get the email with instructions tomorrow as like other applicants in this forum, most of the applicants received email a day before the oath.I received the call from unknown number on July 13th and they asked me if I am interested to take the oath virtually, then she gave me 2 options July 22 or July 24 I choose July 22nd. She also advised that I will get the email within a week with further instructions.
Hi Will you please share whether you have received the Citizenship certificate as I am waiting for the same My ecas is showing COMPLETE
