Hi guys. I decided to share my story. It might help to answer some questions that people here ask. My timeline: Montreal office Application mailed: Sep 2019. Scheduled for test: March 2020. Canceled due to COVID-19. Online test: June 2021. DM: July 2021 Online Oath: Nov 2021 No FP, PP, or...

I saw a lot of families on screen during my oath. For the reason of confidentiality, peoples’ seat numbers were written instead of names. Sometimes there were 3-4 numbers indicated but only one person actually on screen…

It’s possible. Very often I saw screens with no people or even black screens. You just have to come back when you hear them talking. No, hard to predict. You will be instructed at the beginning about the sequence of events, so you can estimate more or less.

You didn’t have your oath invitation yet? What a heck?.. IRCC makes people wait, wait, and wait… Even during the ceremony nothing changes. Mine lasted for ~2.5h and most of the time I and other people were just waiting. Transferred from one room to another and then waited again. The oath itself...

It looked like my agent didn’t want to do anything about it. She just said that I have to wait for it to arrive in a mail even though I said that I need it asap. Doesn’t matter, i’m coming back to NYC. My friends will mail the certificate to me and then I will apply for passport from the US...

Hi guys. I had my oath today. No stress. Everything went smoothly. The atmosphere was very friendly. + 131 new citizens. :) Unfortunately, they did not approve my urgent request. Their explanation was that I didn't have any tickets or reservations somewhere with a precise date... Honestly, I...

I'm sure luvtrump knows the precise answer to this question!.. :)

No problemo! Our files were in the same pile for long two years, so we're already connected in a way... ;) Guys, I'm a Sep 2019 applicant from Montreal too. The processing timeline is similar to chs's. Oath Nov 19, have already received an official invitation.

You have to try. I will try to ask them because I need to travel too.

Update on the new portal: 11/4 Could see oath hour on eCAS: somewhere between 11/5-11/7 Official invitation with Zoom link: 11/8

You can order GCMS notes, the expiration date is indicated there. The BG check is valid for one year. I can speculate that the new BG check will take around a month for IRCC to perform. IRCC cannot continue processing your application if the BG check expired. So if at any application stage (till...

I don’t think so. In any case, i believe your oath invitation will arrive earlier than the notes will be delivered (takes a month at minimum). You just have to poke IRCC in some way to get noticed. I changed my address and soon after received an invitation. chs sent them a massage last week and...

I requested free one. It looks like Privacy Act is if you request the notes for yourself. Information - someone is requesting about somebody else…

Lol. :D I told you so! It looks like our applications were handled by same agent… Congrats! BTW, on eCAS you can see the precise time of your oath…

It sounds like SOON, but it looks like it's a bit random nowadays... Since you had an update, it's a good sign.

December 2020 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U27V95kWlCVYWB0zye7DvqoXSkyqxgbA31eEJ_TKO6Y/edit#gid=566701841 Very fast! Congrats! Guys, I received an official invitation with a Zoom link today. Oath Nov 19.

1. AFTER the oath you can send a request to the PR department to cancel your application because you became a citizen. https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx 2. You can ask a clerk DURING the citizenship ceremony to send a message to the PR department that...

Looks like they opened your file in order to invite you for oath and realized that some checks expired.

Yes, personal experience. If you always keep a Canadian address while traveling, this will not affect your application.

If you traveled a lot within your eligibility period then they may (or may not) give you hard time during the interview. If you traveled a lot after submitting the application, nothing will happen.
