IRCC Scarborough Applicants - Online Test/Interview/DM/Oath
- Thread starter BadGamer6
- Start date
According to the tracker I have my oath ceremony on August 30th. I still didn't receive the invitation letter. Does anybody knows what's involved in postponing the oath ceremony? I might be out of the country on that day. What if I receive the invitation when I am out of Canada? is it possible to take the test from abroad? if not, how much time can be postponed?
I am just looking around to see if someone had the same issue. I really want to get the citizenship process done but I am not in rush as long as I will have the chance to do it before my PR expire next April 2022

That's unfortunate. Getting an oath date is a difficult task nowadays. If I were you, I would take the oath unless there's an extreme emergency or an exceptional circumstance.
Having said that... Once you receive the oath letter and if you won't be in the country on ceremony date, follow the instructions on the IRCC website.
At this time, there is no evidence you can take the oath of citizenship outside Canada so IRCC will likely ask you to postpone it.
Hi,
I got the email with instructions just 3 days before the event date.
So don't worry at all , i was in the same situation. But you will get , in worst case scenario 1 day ahead at least.
Thanks for this estimated timeline. Can someone confirm CC refers to citizenship certificate? My impression was that I could simply apply for a Canadian passport after the oath. What purposed does a citizenship certificate serve?
Yeah CC = Citizenship Certificate.
You can't apply for a passport without the citizenship certificate. It is the official proof that you are a Canadian citizen. That's the only purpose of that document.
Got my status updated and oath scheduled for November 12, 2021.
So far from now. I'm surprised if they send an official invite for a closer date.
But I'm happy anyway

Congratulations! I'm really amazed and surprised that Scarborough is working to schedule applicants till Nov. But at least that's a good sign that they are actively workingGot my status updated and oath scheduled for November 12, 2021.

It's a weird time distance, but appreciated anyway. It looks like I won's sleep till November to receive an official mail with instructions days before. They may restart off-line ceremonies even, who knows.For those who are waiting for oath in this thread - apparently Scarborough has entered the December queue. Have seen someone had their oath scheduled for early December. Just as a maybe-representative assumption, if you get an update by tomorrow, it will most likely be some time in December for your oath.
It's tough but it's better than nothing.
But hey! Many of you didn't have to do interviews, I was requested passport copies and interviews, just like some of us back in March and April, that was really nerve-wracking.

Those who want to go beyond requesting GCMS notes, is there any other agency other than CBSA and RCMP to look into?
Nah, not really. You can try CSIS though, have no idea what that might reveal for you.
So I took my test on may 29th 2021 and it updated as completed on May 30th.Checked old ecas it says decision made and new tracker shows everything completed just oath not started.It was updated on the 9th of august which was yesterday.Any guess how long I should be waiting to get an email for the oath?
