Thank you for posting this timeline! Mine is scheduled for Nov 12, same office. So, I should receive instructions sometime within the first week of November.

Sooooo.. would anyone happen to have the Montreal office email address? Perhaps we can have more luck if we email them directly? I just checked this morning and no updates in almost 3 months (When I got my DM).. I understand that the timeline is (anecdotally) 3-5 months post DM, but am getting antsy..

How did you found out that yours was scheduled on 12th Nov? Is there a way to find it, before getting the email. My status says 'Decision Made' and waiting for the Oath ceremony.

That's the rub - unless your "Citizenship Ceremony" in the IRCC tracker says "In Progress", you're not getting it anytime soon...

It’s in the new tracker, not ECAS. There’s a screencap of the tracker in someone’s post (quoted) in this very same page, for reference.

Odd side note: ECAS has my DM, but when I click on the link for it, the notes are pre-pandemic and show my scheduled (and then cancelled) COVID test back in early 2020; that's the last ECAS update. The new tracker is current.

Try to log in to a new tracker and you should have this date mentioned. Mine says:

Take the Oath of Citizenship

Citizenship ceremony
Waiting on you
You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on November 12, 2021.
Follow the instructions we sent to you for information on:

• how to attend the ceremony
• what documents you have to present

The notice you’ll receive is the official confirmation of the appointment. If you haven’t received the notice by the date of the scheduled appointment, contact us.

Everything is completed and Citizenship ceremony is IN PROGRESS.

I see the same thing, so it must be normal...

Hi, everyone, I finally get my oath date, Oct 28th. I called IRCC today and was lucky to get through on my third try. But I don't think the notice is because the phone call today. The agent on the phone gave me a lecture, told me that my processing time is long because I submitted request via webform three times. Although there's no response to those requests and I submitted additional documents each time. She said it takes time to process those requests, and it slows the processing of my application. And there's no estimate of processing time of either the application or the urgent request. And every case is different. Anyway, after the phone call, I emailed Scarborough center directly. They replied very quickly that they forwarded my email to the responsible unit. And then in the evening, I received email from Scarborough center notifying me of the oath date of Oct28. Finally! Hope this helps if anyone is also trying to get the oath date. And good luck to everyone!
