They were hiring new staffs and they seem to be clearing up the backlog pretty quickly. Once the holidays is over and most staff come back to work, there may be a few in person tests and interviews. Lots of offices have began in person oath ceremonies. I can imagine that they might pick a few...

Without knowing the exact dates, it would be difficult to advise you. Use this to calculate and see how many days it gives you. https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/resCalcStartNew.do

If your calculations are correct then you should be good. But I'll double check and triple check. If possible give someone else the dates to calculate to be sure you get the same figures. Next year the applications may move pretty quickly if they implement all the new measures so you'll have to...

You can go to the office and explain to them. They will most likely take the older one and let you keep the new one

No one can tell to be honest. Has her background check been completed?

I'll send the webform and then show the document at the interview

You already filed the tax just say yes. Sometimes the answer to most questions is the most obvious one lol

Yes

They are drawing names out of a box like a lottery system lol.

Background Verification Completed: Nov 21, 2022

If they process the old paper applications fast, then the processing time would drop drastically. This would actually be a big issue because when applicants exceed the normal processing times, they can get a writ of mandamus from the court to force IRCC to render a decision. IRCC doesn't want to...

From my conversation with IRCC staff on the phone, Citizenship applications are the least of their priorities because the applicants are mostly already in Canada and already have status (permanent residence). That's the main reason why there's no rush to clear up the backlog files. Unless...

Contact IRCC and ask for the certificate to be sent urgently. But Nov 29th to 6th of December is really close. Perhaps ask if you can pick it up and then go for an urgent passport. Otherwise, you can just go through with the oath, go on your trip and then have someone you trust mail the...

There is nothing wrong with living abroad or working abroad. As you said you meet the residency requirements then there's no need to worry. I don't know where you got the information about working/living abroad being a red flag. It's simply not true and there's no basis for it. You can look up...

It's not good to think of the worse possible scenario all the time. There used to interview everyone before the pandemic. For now, only a select few are being interviewed. The interview email would tell you what to bring along so just carry along what they require. They will not cancel your...

Is this their holiday in addition to statutory holidays?

Okay, that's good. You'll think they would schedule you for an oath since you have sent your fingerprints and passed the test and background checks. If you can contact them to remind them about the urgent request maybe they would schedule you for an oath.

Wow, yours is really fast for an online application. Did you ask for urgent processing?

There's nothing to be nervous about. In the past before the pandemic everyone did an interview. All they are doing is a final check of all documents. There are some persons who got to do the oath immediately after the in-person interview. Read the email carefully and carry all documents they ask.

Reply to the email and ask them. Or call.
