Hi everyone, I am scheduled for oath ceremony next month just waiting for the email confirmation. I have a question to clarify, kindly please share from your experience and expertise. Last year I renewed my passport from my country of citizenship but I haven't updated this to IRCC my citizenship grant application has the information from my old/expired passport. On the day of oath ceremony when I mention them about the expired and renewed passport will that be an issue? As I have to declare it regardless. Thanks in advance
What interests them is 5 years before the application was signed. Unless you designed a time machine, time traveled to the past, and changed your passport somewhere within the 5 mentioned years, you're fine.

I am sure some of us have already seen this but on the IRCC website, this is what it says:
We’re currently finalizing most applications we received between
June 9 and 15, 2019.
If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it.


You can check it out for yourself here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html
Don't forget that "finalizing" means DM. Oath is a different story...

"Your processing time starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision."

Where exactly do you get this info? This is all I found:

Citizenship grant
12 months

Mine's been stuck with half my things 'in progress' without update since July 1, 2021.

This process has taken me 24 months now!!

Nothing to get worried. Just forget about your application; Sorry; Time will take its own time.

2018/2019 Applications are not their priority. They are looking at 2020/2021 application to improve their stats.
There are many like you and me.
I had test in Feb2021. 2 times done background cleared/expired/cleared. Now waiting to get expired for 3rd time.
OMG this is terrifying!!

I haven't even been asked for a new background check once yet! OMG!!

My PR card expired feb this year. I was holding out until I get citizenship but at this rate that's not gonna happen so I might as well get a PR application is AT THE SAME TIME (WHAT?!)

Thank you for the response.

Has anyone heard Mississauga Office sending oath invites recently, I am losing my patience:mad:?
It's been 4.5 months since the decision was made in our file.
IRCC contact center says, need to wait for Oath Invite but no one tells when it will come. Don't know who to reach out :rolleyes:
