March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[ItalianAndIrish]

I checked the ECAS yesterday and it seems like I am scheduled to take a citizenship test, but I still haven't received any e-mail, should I be concerned? Thanks in advance.

I had the same, I've got scheduled twice for the test and I received only one email the 13th, for the test.
I tried to login today, thinking I would be eligible as per first test window, but it doesn't let me start, so I guess I need to wait for Monday?

I am pretty sure it is PST time zone, Since the oath ceremony will be conducted with in the province(Vancouver, BC) you applied from.

Indeed you're Lucky Man, I am still waiting for Oath Ceremony Date; Since my DM was on Sept 21, 2021.

Question: What else is mentioned in your Oath Invitation email ?

I did the citizenship test in June 2021 and a fingerprint in November 2021/ received in Jan 2022. When is it expected Mississauga office would send invitation for oath taking?

Please can someone help me out:

I can see that my Oath ceremony has changed from "Not Started" to "In -process" however, I did not see any Oath schedule. I am just wondering how long(?) will the Oath ceremony status be "in-process" before I will see the schedule date post on the timeline. It has been In-process since Jan. 10, 2022.

Hi everyone, I have an update in my application tracker. On January 11, 2022 - the following items went to "complete" - language skills, physical presence, and prohibitions. Can someone update the tracker? Only item left is Citizenship Ceremony. I haven't received any IRCC emails though. I assume the next thing I receive will be a decision made or an invite to the ceremony?

Updated. This is equivalent to "Decision Made". You can check ECAS to confirm. Next step is an update for ceremony.

Can somebody help me they folded the document that is clearly saying “DO NOT BEND” on it! I received my citizenship certificate folded! Can I apply passport with this or should I wait for 15168282 months for my new certificate?!!

Hi, Has anyone taken oath from outside Canada?

Updated. This is equivalent to "Decision Made". You can check ECAS to confirm. Next step is an update for ceremony.

Thank you for the info! So ECAS is different from the IRCC tracker....where do I access ECAS?

EDIT: I found ECAS site and it reflects Decision Made

Hi, it is not acceptable, you have to be in Canada. you can request but CIC will send another form to fill out and this would be reviewed again and this could take couple of month for them to reply back.

In short, better to be in Canada.

Can I use my foreign passport as ID for the citizenship exam? My current health card is expired and It will take a while to get the new one.

Hi Folks,

I am curious if I am the only one in this forum who applied in march2020 and still have not got even test invite,...Processing started in sept 2020.
What should I do? Webforms are useless ( sent 5 times). Made request under Privacy act - no answer....Next step I will contact MP but do not think it will be useful.

Literally, there is nothing you can do.
