July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[BA2LAMAZ]

Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone else is on the same boat as I am:
July 2019 application sent
October 2019 AOR
Feb 2020 test invite
9 March 2020 in person test (passed, but officer requested additional docs)
15 March 2020 submitted additional docs
(COVID radio silence)
Oct 3 2020 officer calls saying I’m approved and should expect oath invite until end of month
And here we are, still waiting... ECAS shows Decision Made

I’ve tried asking what’s going on through WebForm but got a generic reply. Any thoughts?

On same boat, decision made in mar 2020, no update after that...

That sucks! Have you guys tried reaching out to your MPs to find out more on your behalf?

No, they said as they are operating under reduced staff and with virtual oath, you just need to wait until it happens.

I did my oath today online. It was pretty simple and easy procedure by Zoom i can say. I wish everyone waiting for oath or test invite get those things soon.

Hello there.
I applied in July, was asked for my fingerprints in November and sent them, and have not heard anything else yet. I understand that it's normal, so I'm waiting for the online Test Invite.

I have a question: does the online test have to written from a Canadian IP? I am currently abroad with family.

Does anyone know how this could work?

THANKS SO MUCH!

Yes, you need to be inside Canada. Just fly in or postpone.

For all those waiting...be patient..
Things take time, especially moving papers or information across various departments, in what is now the new normal virtual world. It's only a little more time....try not to stay peeled to the screen for updates....it will surely come. Unless it's very late , don't fret...enjoy and wait....

Yes you have to be physically present in Canada. You have to sign off that requirement when you attempt the test. There is no backdoor to it, like using a VPN, because your Passport will reflect entry and exit times...

Thanks! It was pretty straightforward. Call in on Zoom > they verify ID > say the oath > cut up PR card and you're done in about 70 mins or less.
