September 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[jonka5]

you need a PR card to enter Canada using any commercial vehicle such as airplanes and trains. You do not need it for private vehicles (which is only possible on land crossings from the US)

I'd submitted a webform request since it's been 6 months since I took the online test and below is the response I got. Same response when I called them as well. I guess IRCC is not taking any questions other than those mentioned below:

"
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

In order to respond to a high volume of enquiries related to the crisis in Afghanistan, we have needed to shift resources in our Client Support Centre. This will impact our ability to respond to some of your enquiries.

We will respond to these priority enquiries only:
· Clients in crisis situations (like those affected by the situation in Afghanistan)
· Clients facing vulnerable circumstances (emergency and urgent requests)
· Clients who need to tell us about a change in their circumstances, which has a direct impact on their application (like marriage, birth of a child, or similar)
· Clients who are submitting documents requested by one of our officers
· Changes in contact information
· Requests to withdraw an application or refunds
If your enquiry is NOT one of the priority enquiries listed above, you will not receive a reply.
If you included attachments with your enquiry, rest assured that they will be added to your file shortly.
"

Calgary applicants, lets update each other with current citizenship status at IRCC Calgary.

1. When did you apply
2. When did you complete the test
3. Are you still waiting for Oath/DM. If yes, how long has it been after the test?

In my case:
1. When did you apply - Sep 2019
2. When did you complete the test - July 2021
3. Are you still waiting for Oath/DM. If yes, how long has it been after the test? - Nothing after test.

Main email contact of this office is cic-calgary-citizenship@cic.gc.ca . anyone knows why this office is remarkably slower than, I'd say, the rest of Canada?

Congratulations and condolences at the same time; now comes the worst waiting period as it's the final hurdle. I've "only" been waiting 6 weeks now and am hoping for traction in the next couple of weeks, but the situation in Afghanistan has thrown a spanner in the works, as they say - now it's anyone's guess ranging from a 6-8 weeks until time unknown. I'd say settle in and get comfortable (or not); it's going to unfortunately be awhile. :/

Thanks. I've updated the spreadsheet. Could you please provide the "Decision Made" date for your application? Usually, it is the same as the date when "Prohibitions" was set to "Completed".

Hello,

Per the tracker, my oath ceremony was supposed to be on the 21st but got pushed to september 11th. I haven't received an email with the invite yet and reached out via the webform a few weeks ago. I got a generic "decision has been made we will contact you soon". Is there a number I can contact ?

Is it normal for the online tracker to say "Waiting for you" while I have no idea what they are waiting for? It's currently showing in prohibitions stage. The last update was when IRCC asked for my fingerprints and I completed that last month.

After one month the tracker updated with fingerprints received and then "waiting for you". It states that they sent me an email with instructions but I swear I didn't receive anything and it's been 8 days like that. Checked the spam folder as well. Any ideas what it might be?
