aah well then its probably those people whose oath were cancelled.

Was Oath in Person?

Most likely online oath. I haven't seen any reports of in-person oaths yet. And 25 families appears to be a pretty number small for a in-person oath ceremony anyway.

Was Oath in Person?

No, video Oath via Zoom

@tusharpurohit03 , @Paripriyank1

I am in the same boat as you 2 are. My status turned to interview required with date June 23 on June 22, But no email. After that I have not received any further communication from them. I have raised a service ticket after trying to get hold of them through call.

Have you guys received any update on your file.

no not yet.....i did submit the webform though
waiting for their reply

Congratulations. Was your application online and/or urgent?

Its paper since online application was introduced only in Dec2020.

Post pandemic: what i see is that the major hurdle for most applicants is to get to the test stage, once thats passed then the DM/oath happens faster within months if not weeks. So the more early the test, the more early the oath.

That's what I noticed too, but it seems that the oath is what is backlogged now :\ I was hopeful that from test to oath, it would only be about a month or two, but I think most people have to wait a minimum of 3 months. It's very discouraging.

This is so strange. This is the third report I'm seeing for applicants of Brampton where Physical Presence, Prohibitions and Language are set to completed even before taking the test. But that's good!

After your test is set to "Completed", you might see a "Decision Made" status on ECAS.

Please keep us posted! All the very best!

My timelines are exactly same. Everything shows completed except test - "in process" and oath- "Not Started".. I finished my test on July 5th and waiting for that status to be changed.

Cool, that is really good.

Could you please provide your information in the following format so that I can add you to the spreadsheet?

Location:

Also, from the new status dashboard, can you please provide the dates of the following :

Background Check "Completed" date

Thank you!

I am just glad I am not the only one waiting! But seriously though, this wait OMG. God only knows how people can go to work and be content seeing that many backlogged files just sitting there staring at the officer to be handled. Won't they feel the urge to reduce the massive failure that they managed whip up in the past year due to COVID excuse?
