Anybody from Niagara office still waiting for Oath? My question how many days it takes from everything is marked complete to DM and DM to Oath? I think depends on each office right?

First update in over 4 months!

App Sent Date: 23-Jan-21
AOR Date: 27-Jul-21
Scanned copies of passports: 15-Sep-21
Test passed: 16-Sep-21
Background verification complete: 27-Jan-22

I’m confident that language, physical presence & prohibitions are just checking a box (don’t ask me why I was stressing about background verification – I had no reason to but that’s what I fixated on being an issue - maybe just that the order seemed unusual with test so much earlier than background)


So, hoping for a DM before another 4 months go by!

Hopefully that the case! Hopefully you'll receive DM soon now that they are working on your file again.
