    “Proof showing that you meet the residency obligation…” now mandatory?

    Good suggestions, went back to the instruction guide and have the same impression, thanks so much! I will keep posted here how it goes. As has been said on this forum, that set of instructions can at the least use some wordsmithing for clarity.

    Thanks! She has bank statements, but there are huge gaps for months across where she did not make any purchases, particularly during COVID where most purchases were online from my accounts.

    Hi All, how long would it typically take for the citizenship certificate to arrive after oath. And is it true that during the oath you need to cut your PR card using scissors? If so, how could one travel till the citizenship certificate and passport are issued? Thanks.

    Thanks, I scanned through the trackers for few other months, but couldn't find any evidence supporting the 3 month timeline for the oath from the test date. Indeed, there seems to be a backlog.....

    Hi All, The CIC guidance says that the oath is typically completed in 3 months from the time the test is taken successfully (https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=363&top=5). Do you guys see this to be true from the trends across other months as well? Thanks.
