Hi All,

I wanted to share the unusually fast timeline for one of my friends who had her virtual oath yesterday, and I was there with her.

Regular Application (Non-urgent)
Type: Single
Processing Office: Scarborough
Application received: Mid August 2020
AOR: End of January 2021
Test Invite: April 28th, 2021
Test Taken: May 14th, 2021
Test set to Completed on Tracker: May 21st, 2021
Decision Made: First week of June 2021
Oath Scheduled Date showed on the tracker on June 18th, 2021 for Aug 4th 2021 Oath
Oath Date: Aug 4th, 2021 (Completed)

From the time the application was received to the ceremony it was a little less than 1 year, which is unusually fast considering COVID and the fact that it was regular processing. I believe that because she is considered an essential worker maybe they prioritized her application? who knows! Or maybe just pure luck.

I had the opportunity to witness her oath ceremony, and it was very emotional looking back at all the sacrifices we made 7 years ago when we first came to this country.

Good luck to everyone! Patiently waiting for my turn now.

March 2020 applicant here. My Ecas changed to decision made today. I guess it will be months until I get my oath letter and then another few months till my oath ceremony. Literally everything is open now! why don't they just resume in person ceremonies to fast track everything?

Hello,

I gave my Canadian citizenship test in March 2021 and I passed it. I received an email just recently for an invitation to write a citizenship test. I am confused as to why did I receive an email to give exam again. I should have receiving an email to give an oath. Anyone else faced this issue?

Did it say "write" citizenship test or did it ask you to re-take the test over MS teams orally? Re-tests usually happen over MS teams. The IRCC official will show you a PowerPoint presentation with the questions and you'll be answering questions orally. This could have happened because they weren't able to validate the results of your first attempt.

What is the status of Citizenship Test on the status dashboard? Was it set to "Completed" or did it remain "In Progress"?

For those who already received their citizenship certificate, when did your citizenship oath status change to complete in the new tracker and when did you receive the certificate in the mail?

There is no "usual" anymore. Timelines greatly vary. Take a look at the spreadsheet (links in my signature) to see how your peers are doing. There isn't a standard timeline - depends on your file, the office and the officer processing your application.

They said I need to take (not re-write) the citizenship test. There is no indication about retaking the test or other reason for not considering the first attempt. At the moment, the status states "In progress".
