September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[nskatcv]

I'm due to travel to the UK next month.

Do I simply inform IRCC after my trip the time I spent outside Canada?

I'm inbetween completing my test and the neverending wait for the next step.

Not attempting to answer your question, but rather wondering why should you be obligated to inform?

I am also thinking of traveling and intend to come back when I get an update for the oath.

Just curious why some people were requested for the passport and others did not. I did not travel a lot for the last 3 years while working abroad during the first two of the 5 years period. But I was not requested for fingerprinting though. Is this something weird?

I had same thing during last weekend. Ecas said Decision Made & new tracker showed everything still in progress. Wait till Monday morning, after that everything except oath should say completed in new tracker (that is what happened with me).

Hi you were right, thanks!

Only oath remains. Wondering how long this wait to oath will be. Thanks.

Update-citizenship test status changed to completed on Feb 11 per online tracking. I took the test on Jan 31.

 

[dsanchez]

Ceremony completed today.

 

[Adam1979]

So all the lines in the application status are now "Completed" except for the Citizenship Ceremony which is still "Not started".

On ECAS it shows "Decision Made".

Anyone knows what happens next and how long it takes?

Will I be required to provide passport copies?

What happens next is you'll be invited to the oath ceremony. How long it will take is anybody's guess.

...and no, you will not be asked for passport copies now.
