September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[PKH7]

Everything has updated to ‘Completed’. Just citizenship ceremony pending now.

I completed my test in October and it was updated online Test - Completed on 13 October. However, I have not heard back since then and nothing else is updated. Is this normal?

 

[Hot2Cold]

Took the test on Jan 11 (20/20 woot woot), everything has changed to completed as of 18 Jan but it still says in progress.

My email to take the test came from the Kitchener office.

I'm guessing you mean oath is in progress. If everything else is completed, then it's Decision made. Can you please check the old Client Application Status (ECAS) and let us know if it says Decision made there, and the date?

Yes. That's the way it's been since the new new tracker has been in place. Everything completed except oath ceremony means a Decision Made status in the old ECAS, but it doesn't show that in the new tracker.

Congrats. Now all you have to do is wait for the oath invite.

Thank you. I ordered our GCMS notes about 2 months ago. About 4 weeks ago they asked my wife to sign a request form + me and my wife to sign the same form for our 2 kids. We did it. We haven't heard anything since. Calling IRCC is a good idea. I tried to call them a month ago. The generic pre-recorded info was shared with me saying that only urgent cases can talk to an agent. According to the info our case was not one of the listed cases. Nevertheless, I will try to call them again. Perhaps the situation has already changed. Anyway, I appreciate your kind response.

I called but they only gave me the same info i can see on my profile.
The guy told me just keep waiting.

BTW my file is in Ottawa Office

In ECAS "decision made".
Also after having to provide info on some undocumented absence I got this:

Thank you for your email. I have approved your application for citizenship. I have referred your file to be scheduled for a ceremony. You will receive an invitation for a citizenship ceremony in the next couple of months.​

All this from Jan 19, 2022.

This is the same for me.

Old system = decision made.

New system = all complete apart from citizenship ceremony. Not started.

Thanks. Yeah. That unknown amount of time is silly. PR card is due for renewal in AUG. I'm not renewing it.

might be a silly question but are oath ceremonies done by office or would you find people from more than one office in the same ceremony? meaning are they managed by office or are they centralized?

I think it's area wise, like GTA residents can get the oath from any of GTA offices.

Interesting so Scarborough applicants can be in the same oath as Mississauga applicants. I thought it would be by office tbh
