November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[hayden314]

How long from sending passport pages to DM?
Also I've seen some people needing to courrier their passport copies but I was asked to email them. Just checking if it's legit!

It may vary case-by-case. I was requested a pdf copy of my passport on July 23 and my DM was on Sep 13

That's good to know, thank you! No oath ceremony yet?

Its not an update that is part of the tracker. There are only the major milestones which are included as updates.

Ah I see! Thanks for clarifying!

Am I the only one from Winnipeg who did not receive a test invite?

I'm more curious about why in-person oaths/testing still isn't a thing at this point when there's no clearly visible reason not to allow it.

Almost all indoor spaces are now open with specific conditions in most provinces (proof of vaccination required, etc.).

Good point....May be the vaccine mandate for the judges and other staff?

Finally - after 2 months and a week later - my citizenship test has been marked completed....
Hopefully the rest of the process happens soon for self and family now.
Fingers crossed......but relieved that the confusion around my test is solved and i dont need to prepare and take the test again....

Folks how much time does it take after Oath to
1. Get Citizenship cert
2. Get Passport after #1 above.

Also if we have travel planned the 1 + 2 take months, can we request delay of oath for one member of the family ?

Point #1 - I think it 4 to 6 weeks - if I am not wrong
Point#2 - you could get your passport on an emergency basis 2 days or so (extra money)

About the oath - you can contact the office handling your case and it is between them and you. Not sure if delaying just for one member is possible though. But you never know.

very good point! I feel like they are following this motto "If it's functional then don't try to fix it"
