18 months is the current maximum processing time posted on the IRCC website. I guess December will be the deadline for this cohort.

My wife also got the ghost update: Applied: 5 June 2022 AOR: 13 June 2022 Background verification: 24 November 2022 Scheduled for citizenship test: 5 December 2022 Citizenship test completed: 22 December 2022 (GCMS Notes Requested: 27 June 2022) (GCMS Notes Received: 5 July 2023) (Ghost update...

Just received my passport, which officially ends my citizenship journey. Thank you all for your support throughout these past 18 months. I wish you the very best and am available for help if you have any questions. I'm planning to write a book about this whole experience soon. If you're...

I will keep you guys posted on how it goes. I think the tricky thing will be convincing the airline.

I've been out of the country for a few weeks. When I received my oath date, I decided to fly to Canada for 1 day just to take the oath and then come back. I heard that it's up to the whims of IRCC to reschedule and it could take weeks, months, or even years until they give you a new date. Also...

I honestly think it made a difference because the "Oath Ceremony" portion changed to "in progress" the very next day. I doubt it was purely coincidental. I just got a confirmation of receipt from OIC. They take forever to investigate complaints, but I believe they do notify the agency in...

Just did my oath ceremony on Wednesday. I'll keep you updated re: the mailing of the citizenship certificate and passport application.

I just got my e-mail today. Mine is also a virtual oath for 25 Jan at 9:00 PST.

It's been in "Decision Made" for 7 months. I ran most of the codes against the list and didn't find any link to the inactive ones, but I wonder if some key information has been redacted.

Unfortunately, my notes do not include the agent code. Do yours?

Or... is there anybody who didn't get a ghost update?
