Question for those who have received the invitation for Oath and have gotten their citizenship:

1) How were you invited? By email or was it a physical mail sent to your address?

2) How long does it take to receive the Certificate after Oath? My Oath is on Nov 25th, and I am closing on a new house on Dec 17th, so I will be moving in 3 weeks after Oath. Should I do anything about it?

They send the invite by email.

It can take around 2 weeks to deliver the certificate. In your case you should be fine.

They will confirm the address during the ceremony and you can also explain that you will be moving. They might be able to expedite, but it's not guaranteed.

They say the processing office would send an email for a virtual invite.
You probably don’t need to do anything, as you would be a citizen by then & be applying for a passport. Congrats you’re almost there

Congrats Orly. Please where is your processing office? They seem to be very fast with things. We have the same DM date and I don't have the Oath IV yet.

Interesting - I applied 6th Feb and so far, only test and background checks have passed. Was your urgent application?

At least you passed the test. I haven’t received even the test invite yet.

I noticed that the Montreal location has no news. Any Montreal Feb applicants received updates after passing the test?

My application is in the Montreal office as well. So far trends show that they are slow compared to Ontario but there has also been some progress from there recently. Generally, with IRCC, you just gotta be patient. So let's hope things will change soon.

I am a bit nervous and I still have not read the book and I have scheduled for test and please I need your kind advice for the test. Which is the best website that has a sample for the test and will be much closer to the real test? For sure I will read the book first but I need to do training before the test!

Excerpt below from a post in FB of an online applicant (March 2021) - already scheduled for Oath -

This is my timeline:

Mar 18, 2021 Application filed
May 26, 2021 Background verification activity status updated
Jul 23, 2021 Citizenship test activity status updated
Jul 30, 2021 Scheduled for citizenship test
Aug 16, 2021 Citizenship test activity status updated
Nov 3, 2021 Prohibitions activity status updated, Physical presence activity status updated, Language skills activity status updated
Nov 9, 2021 Citizenship oath activity status updated
Dec 30, 2021 Scheduled for Citizenship oath

Makes me wonder on the fairness of the process :/
(or perhaps had been luckier if had waited for a bit more time and applied in March?)

I would strongly recommend reading the book first, The questions are based on the book. Then doing the sample will be very helpful.
