Vancouver Citizenship Test Invite - Masterthread

[nikcap]

Aug-2019,
Test was in May-21,
Request for Passport copy in July-21
Request for FP again in August-21 and delivered also in Ausust-21,
Sep-21, now it's still not complete - 'Prohibitions' in status 'not assesed' for some reason.
Looking for 3rd year of waiting for the slowest IRCC service in history.

How long it took to get DM after completing the citizenship test? Thanks.

She passed her test on April 25th, 2021, and received DM on July 8th. You will find her complete timeline in my signature.

My wife had the Decision Made on July 8th. We are still waiting.

She emailed IRCC a couple of weeks ago and got a response today from the Vancouver office that it would be 3-6 months after DM. We hope that is not the reality as we were expecting 2-2.5 months after DM and she's been waiting nearly 2.5 years since she applied already.

Unbelievable.

2.5 years is insane. sorry to hear that. Hope we can receive the invitation asap.

Any movement in Vancouver office?
Today marks the 15th month that they received my application.
7+ months that my BG check is completed.
And still no test invite.

Looking at the latest Test Invite trends for Vancouver, it seems they are wrapping up May 20 and are in the middle of June 20. Plus they might still be wrapping up 2019 - which I am not even tracking Yours just might be round the corner I feel. Hang on!

Yes he gave a time frame but I don't remember. In the email that is sent for oath ceremony it says 4-6 weeks.

4-6 weeks to receive the certificate after the oath? It was 2-4 weeks. Things are getting worse as the time passes

You are right it is 2-4 weeks.

After a couple of online complaint forms to IRCC and a handwritten letter to the Vancouver office asking how their oath "queue" actually works my wife is finally invited to take the oath on October 8th. We had contacted a lawyer to start the mandamus process but will not need to continue with that at this point.
