    July 2022 Citizenship Applications

    An update from me in relation to rescheduling: my application history was updated on 22 June 2023 to "Citizenship Oath: Not started". I hope that means someone looked at my file and a rescheduled ceremony isn't too far away. Fingers crossed!

    Based on my current experience, if there is anything at all you can do to to take the first oath date offered, do it. My oath was scheduled for 27 May, but I was in the UK for one week to attend my late father-in-law's memorial service. I responded to the oath invitation by email as requested...

    July 2022 Citizenship Applications

    I was in Canada when my oath invitation arrived, but my oath date was when I would be in the UK for one week to attend, with my spouse, my late father-in-law's memorial service. If you can still attend your oath ceremony, do so. You could email ahead of time and say your circumstances have...

    July 2022 Citizenship Applications

    Out of an abundance of caution, I've uploaded my boarding passes to show proof of departure and proof of return via the webform. Now it's a case of crossing fingers and toes that I don't have to wait too long. I did a search on the forum and there is indeed extreme variability in the time...

    Thanks. Looks like we'll just have to wait.

    That's terrific news @SiaRia. I am beginning to regret asking that my oath ceremony be rescheduled. It's been three weeks since I asked for the rescheduling and not a peep from IRCC. My tracker still shows I have an oath ceremony on 27 May (which of course is now passed). I'd be on exactly...

    I had a ghost update today, but no sign of an rescheduled oath ceremony yet.

    Congratulations! Mine hasn't been rescheduled yet - I hope it's not too long before it is.

    I thought that 4 months after citizenship test was marked complete was about the average that July 2022 application folks were experiencing. Yes fingers crossed they reschedule quickly. I am disappointed that I will be away, but it's a family funeral so cannot be helped, and the instructions...

    Of course. For the missing trip to the US, I was asked if I could provide "a flight itinerary or any proof that you may have for how long that trip might have been". I had the flight itinerary in pdf form which showed I was away for seven days, so I sent that in response to the email from...

    I got my video oath ceremony invitation today. It is scheduled for 27 May (when I am overseas to attend a family member's memorial service), so I have asked that it be rescheduled. I was surprised to receive this right now - I thought with the strike and the backlogs it would still be weeks...

    UPDATE: Physical presence completed as of 5 April 2023. So that's a wrap on LPP for me. Awaiting oath invitation. Very exciting!

    The communication from IRCC was very polite and not at all accusatory. My first reaction was one of panic! But it was nothing more than a simple request for clarifying information, which I provided by return. I've since received an automated acknowledgement of receipt, which interestingly...

    So, an update from me. It turns out, that despite my care and attention to my physical presence calculator, I had omitted one of my trips to the USA! I received today an email noting that the CBSA records showed a return to Canada that wasn't in my PPC and asking me to supply a copy of the...

    My application went in with 1,116 days PP. I did have quite a bit of travel, mostly to the USA, before the pandemic acute phase, so they may well be checking with CBSA. I did leave a bit of leeway just in case I somehow missed a trip, although I was quite attentive to my record-keeping so I...
