    No - Oath invite is the final step where you will take oath of citizenship in front of an immigration judge with 60-70 other people - happens on zoom. Microsoft teams interview is a 1-1 interview with an IRCC official - they will likely ask you to present some documentation about your travels...

    I hope you are right. However I have seen a few cases on the forum of folks moving from decision made to in progress.. including the person whose post I replied to.

    This is what I fear - although I have decision made as well, the background check will expire in less than a month. It will be back to in progress then with additional uncertain wait.

    January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

    A few weeks before I contacted my MP, I had actually written to the minister of immig Sean Fraser - I got a reply today from his office - which has nothing substantial, but a very frustrating line - which, to be honest, borders on a lie: "Citizenship applications are generally reviewed in the...

    Fingers crossed - although the "non-routine" might still be in play.

    I think that is exactly how it might have happened! You should drop a note to your MP too. Hopefully that will trigger it for you too!

    I emailed the MP - an assistant replied with consent form. Then they called me back with the update they got from IRCC.

    I know I should be patient - it would be so much easier if the applications were treated in a fair FIFO manner. It is really unfortunate that late 2021 applications are now on oath. But yeah - what can I do really but wait - i should go back to my original stand - i will not worry unless its...

    So they DIDN'T request fingerprints or any additional info, at least not yet - so that's what is frustrating really! There's nothing to classify my application as non-routine, at least as per their definition. I only hope that MP's office calling them might at least give my file a nudge.

    So my application (paper) is Jan 2021 submitted, and no update since April 2021. My local MP's office very kindly looked into it, and called me back with an update (within 24 hours of submitting the consent form to the MP office - very happy to see the responsiveness). Apparently my...
