Not many have reported about the pre registration event.
Now that things are ramping up on the virtual oath front, I have read of multiple people attending the oath together and their IDs verified in a seperate virtual room individually before the oath by different clerks.

Did you had any oath scheduled and can canceled before?

And when did you apply and test date ?

How long does it take to receive the certificates?
We had our virtual oath in Edmonton on July 28 and the ECAS status is still the same (decision made) no lines even appeared for virtual invitation.

I’m from Manitoba.
I did my test December 06, 2019

how come there are people here who’s test were Feb-March 2020 and have already gotten a call/email for citizenship Pat ceremony?

anybody else in the same boat?

Same boat, applied in August, still showing DM status.
It’s pathetic...

I mean, I don’t mind to wait 8 months, 10 months, a year, I understand that we’re living under extraordinary circumstances, but they should be organized as a 1st world country. I passed the test on December 13th, my process shouldn't be any faster than someone who took and passed the test on Dec 12 as I shouldn't’ wait longer than someone who did it on Dec14th (not talking about essential workers).

Would it be so difficult to give applicants a number? Applicant number 5 is after number 4 and before number 6. Simply like that.

What amazes me is that the 3rd world country I came from can do simple and logical things like that, but apparently Canada can’t.

At this point, I just fell like the whole citizenship process became a drawing, a lottery...
