Yes it has been to change completed..Only ceremony things remains on progress...i don't know how long that will stay like it .

Not for too long, I hope. Give it a couple of months and you might get an oath invitation.

Wish you all the very best.

Hello All,

I was wondering if there is a way that a person can take the oath while he/she is outside of Canada?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you must be present in Canada for the oath ceremony. You will have to return to Canada to take the oath.
You cannot connect to any of the IRCC servers or websites when using a VPN either.
They will also know that you are out of the country by looking at your travel records.
As far as I can see there is no workaround for this.
If you don't attend the oath ceremony you will not be issued a citizen certificate.

You should reschedule the ceremony in advance if you can't attend it.

Greetings everyone,
I've been a silent reader for a while and am very grateful to all the compassionate folks who take the time to engage with the community here and share their knowledge. I am not on the spreadsheet yet and would be grateful to be added to it. Details are below my query.

Per my conversation with IRCC (both phone and webform), my file is still sitting in Sydney. I get no clarification from the agents when I ask what the holdup might be. All I was told is that my security and criminality have been cleared and that my local office is Mississaugua. Might anyone have any insights on what prevents/delays a file from being transferred to the local office if pertinent background checks have been completed?

Thank you!

Apply for gcms and see if the file is actually in sydney or at local office.

You do not need to apply for gcms notes to find out where your file is?

Call 18882422100 and ask where is your file? Sydney? In transit? Or local office

Correct but OP's file is not yet transferred to local office hence had to look at gcms for more information on why and where actually the file is. If agent sees the file as not transferred then how come they know about the local office as Missi. So not sure if agent is looking things right.

Hey I submitted my application on July 9, 2020 and got a request for fingerprints to be taken which I submitted through RCMP on July 10, 2021. Does anyone know how long would it take to process the fingerprints and how long would it be until I get my citizenship test date? Also, it would be great if someone could add me on the spreadsheet.
Thank you,

I've added you to the spreadsheet.

File still in Sydney is weird (that too after a passed BG check). Have you ordered GCMS notes to see what's going on? Sometimes, webform / call center responses are not accurate. I'd suggest you order GCMS notes and check the "File Transfer History" to see what's going on.
