So now do I receive an email for an oath ceremony? If yes How much time does it takes usually after the Decision Made?
No one knows as it depends on officer again: few days/weeks to 4+ months(worst case).

Thanks a lot for your help. Yes, I checked ECAS, it Says Decision Made for me and my spouse.
So now do I receive an email for an oath ceremony? If yes How much time does it takes usually after the Decision Made?

Thank you once again for your help.
"How much time" can't be answered. Depends. The blanket answer for that is expect it'll take at least 2 months from DM to oath to avoid disappointment.

You'll first see the ceremony "In Progress" update on the dashboard and you'll receive the email about a week before the oath ceremony.

Hello Everyone,

I have received a request to submit scanned copies of all the passports held during the last 5 years. Does anyone get this request? Please DM me the translation company/service that you have used.

Thank You :)

The tracker says that i have been scheduled for oath to be takeh on 12th August. I haven't received any email. How many days before does the email arrives?
Few days to a week but as close as 2 days for some of them. So wait till 10th.

I just got a reply 3 months after my test results were updated from my local office (Winnipeg) they asked me to get my Indian PCC as I was in India for over 183 days and asked me to apply for Foia notes to get details of all my entries to US.

I have contacted so many translation companies including Mosaic/options etc the most reasonable i have found is
order@docsbase.ca
It was recommended by a member here and im very thankful to her.

I dont know what these cic officers do in life but they really need serious training and monitoring. i dont know what to say.

But you should have prepared for this ahead of cic asking on it as cic is never been proactive. foia takes months to deliver results - same like cic.
You should have sent the indian pcc along with application to avoid this last minute headache.

I dont know if you know but if you dont know then here is the tip:
Create account first before raising request at https://foiaonline.gov/foiaonline/action/public/home
Dont request directly as i heard they dont provide full details.
Options would be customs and border protection as entity/agency and select entry-exit option.
Also include the reason why you need and correct duration(those 5 years).
Attach your front and last page of passports during that period and nexus copy if applicable.

Didn't you submit your PCCs with your application? And why they asked for Foia? Did you travel a lot to the US by a car, and your travels are not reflected in your passports?

I've received an email from CIC Edmonton and they're asking me to send a copy of each pages of my passport or travel documents for the past 5 yrs. And may be asked to submit original documents later on.

What is it for? Coz I checked my status and everything is in progress and the only thing that "completed" is the background check. I've done my exam on the 17th of June and passed the exam but still they haven't updated my status.
I completed june 3 and nothing still and no correspondence from Edmonton Office
