Guys, I wanted to share my experience. My citizenship oath ceremony was at 9:00 at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto. I arrived at 8:50 to the smaller parking lot on Sheppard. It was completely full. I went to the bigger parking lot Markham. It was also very full, but there were...

Oath letter received: Dec 6, 2019. Oath ceremony: Jan 10, 2020. So pleased!!! @admin, please update!

@admin, please update! Did citizenship test on Nov 12. Decision made on Nov 13. Days in Canada should be 1252, not 1095. Officer said I should get oath invitation in 2-3 months.

Thanks! From Toronto.

Got the test inviting today! Test is on Nov 12. Please update!!!

Hello everyone! Checking back in after 6.5 weeks since fingerprint submission. I have no update. Still waiting. Really hoping for a response by mid-July.

I remember a few years ago that each point of contact from CIC would be 2.5 to 3 months. Example, AOR would be 3 months, then IP would be 3 months after that, etc. I'm seeing that now the processing is actually going faster. Each point of contact from CIC is happening in the 1.5 to 2 month...

I had the same question. I looked at 2018 spreadsheet and it looks like people get contacted by CIC around 8 weeks after fingerprint submission, usually with a test invitation.

It is the Scarborough location. Very easily accessible actually if you are driving. It is right outside the Markham exit on 401 on the North side.

I actually called my local police station and they referred me to this place. Their website quoted $39. Service was excellent and quick. I was done in 5 minutes. I was happy. That being said, he did tell me that $39 is the base price, then there are additional charges for photo, handling...

Canadian Fingerprinting Services Inc. 1504 Markham Rd #1, Scarborough, ON M1B 2V9 (416) 901-5608 https://g.co/kgs/t4oYGk I went to this place. Cost about $65, which I believe is overpriced. I didn't want to shop around and wanted to get it over with.

I was looking at your dates and thinking the same! Btw, it stays in "In Progress" state until decision is made. To my knowledge, the fingerprint request is not posted to ECAS.

Updating again. Received fingerprint request today. Submitted fingerprints today. Also, apparently my processing office is the one at 325 Milner Avenue in Scarborough. My location on the spreadsheet is Toronto. Maybe it should be updated to Scarborough?

I have an update. Got finger print request today!

Another question. What exactly is happening when your application is "In Process"?
