    Hello all! We had our oath ceremony on August 23rd, marked Complete on Sept. 1st, then just got the certificate in the mail a few minutes ago. ;) Best wishes to you all! It's been quite a ride. Thanks for all the support and good luck to everyone still waiting for things to get finalized.

    We were also on the Aug. 23 oath ceremony. We just checked today and our online status is "Closed" so we can only guess the certificate is in the mail. :D Now to stalk the postman. lol

    Congrats! We were in the same ceremony and haven't heard yet. Getting excited but glad to hear at least one as been sent out.

    Ottawa Applications

    We are in exactly the same boat. Scanned the signed document, got the acknowledgement email, and no action in the tracker yet (except that the "Waiting on you for Citizenship Ceremony" is gone). In the acknowledgement email they did say it could take up to two weeks... so as anxious as we all...

    We (my partner is the applicant) just got our notice today for the virtual oath on the 23rd. Glad the wait is finally nearly over after more than 2 years. Now just waiting for passports. Lol

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    I bet a bunch of people are in the same boat. We had test in Feb and no word until an invite today for virtual oath on August 23. And we were on our way out of the country and planning to return on the 25th, too! Go figure. You wait more than two years and they pick a day on the two weeks you...

    August/September Citizenship ceremony

    We just got the invite today (Aug 11) and it's for a Zoom ceremony on August 23rd. The irony is we were on our way out of the country for the first holiday since we applied in August 2020 and now we've had to cancel it all because we are not risking losing this opportunity. I thought less than...

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    Wow good to finally see some movement here. I haven't checked in since we sent hubby (applicant) back to the UK after getting official confirmation that you could do the test online. Just wanted to let you guys know that it appears that, unfortunately, hubby's application is one of the few that...

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    I love that those of us who are still waiting for any update (all "In Process" online) are all wondering if we have the slowest office. lol We're with Ottawa and it's certainly on the "slow" list. My partner (the applicant) has to return to the UK in a few weeks and while we're hoping he'll be...

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    I'm trying to figure out the same thing... Some people seem to have been able to recently. I actually just emailed a friend who knows someone who works at CIC in Ottawa to ask if they knew. If I hear anything, I'll post it here and let you all know.

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    Hey everyone - I read in some other threads (September 2020 most notably) that some people are getting notes/info about doing the test from outside of Canada in their test invites. I don't think it's consistent, but I was curious if anyone has noticed that in their test invite for August 2020...

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    So nice to see some people getting action. Bittersweet, I must say. Our application has everything still listed as "In Progress" and no updates to the tracker since April... Our application is at the Ottawa office, or at least I hope it's not still in Sidney. lol

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    My partner got that same email yesterday and was like, "OMG! OMG! Finally!" Only to have that epic letdown as well. It's getting to be so long and sooooo boring waiting. Our issue is that he really needs to go back to the UK to take care of some stuff, but you're effectively paralized because...

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    I also agree! Wholeheartedly - I think the double-whammy is the whole uncertainly and helplessness regarding COVID and the double-uncertainty of waiting for Citizenship... I've been lurking on here for months as my partner applied in August 2020 as well. Glad to see some movement - I'm sure...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Great news on our front - COPR arrived in mail today. Delivered from the Canadian High Commission in London in a signed-for package by our lovely rural mail lady: "You 'ave package from England!" We live outside Ottawa, so we'll be driving to Cornwall or one of the other New York state...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Beal Fierste: Sucks for the more police info request. Normally I wouldn't say anything but my ex-UK police boyfriend says that a piece of paper might not be good enough (I mean, it would be easy to lie). He says you should probably do a request for your actual official criminal records, just...

    Great news this morning! Decision made on ECAS. ;D No questions or inquiries from LVO, either, but then we prided ourselves on having our application super complete. Thank god.
