Hey! I saw your post and checked my status and saw this update today

Last Update date: December 27, 2021

Your citizenship application status: In Progress

Everything marked Completed except Citizenship Ceremony (i.e. Language, Physical Presence, Prohibitions): December 24, 2021

Citizenship Ceremony: Not Started


@Fpm800 @engray @Edifytech @Rijo02 @clubzigsoda @Nam04 - Please could you all share how long it took to see Decision Made after everything was updated to Completed. As I believe only after DM is when you are placed in queue for Oath.

OR, does everything marked as Completed (except Citizenship Ceremony) implicitly means Decision Made?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

Yes you got a DM, congratulations you are the latest member in the waiting list for oath. There are almost a dozen or two waiting from NGF.

What is surprising me is that it looks like they worked on Dec 24th and Dec 27th. Kudos to the tireless team that works there.

On the online tracker it says there is an update on my file on December 30th but nothing has changed unfortunately. The citizenship ceremony still says it's not started.

A ghost update is better than no updates I got one Dec 21st. Let us stay positive.

I am from Ottawa too. File processed from Niagara falls office as well. Waiting for oath ever since I cleared the exam on April 18th 2021. Decision made and all other checks completed on May 13 2021. Almost 9 months now since I passed my exam that I am waiting for my oath invite.

oh that is so long. what do your GCMS notes say?

 

[Fpm800]

I ordered the GCMS notes for me and my fiance over 2.5 months ago and have not received them either.

wow, I thought I am the one who has been sitting with DM since Oct 21st. 5 months since DM with no oath invite is sad and scary

Its been over 2 months for me too. You can legally file a complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada if you do not hear back in 60 days from the ATIP email confirmation. I filed a complaint a couple of days ago; lets see if that helps....
