    Yes, the timeline for oath is quite variable. All the way from within 1 week, to 7 months+. In my reading on the forum, most people get it between 2 to 8 weeks of getting LPP completed. Mine came about 9 weeks after LPP completed.

    usually the office name can be found in the email address from where you get the test invite. Sometimes the file may move after the test, but most of the times its just the same processing office.

    My wife had a paper certificate all along (never gave her the option during the test) but during the ceremony they asked her if she wanted an e-certificate. My wife opted for it. However, they haven't gotten back to her yet (oath was on Wednesday and she sent the signed oath just after the...

    I never really could understand why IRCC doesn't use FIFO. That's the fairest process. Currently we have people waiting who had put their applications in 2021 while those applying in 2023 are getting oath invites. It's outrageous. It seems to me that IRCC's incentives are misaligned. Their...

    Paper vs Online citizenship application in 2022

    Yes you can. I applied separately from my kids. Your kids don't have to complete 1095 days to apply for citizenship I believe.

    Reach out to MP office again once 21 months are over.They should be more helpful IMO.

    This sucks, especially when people from January 2023 are getting oath invites. Current processing time is 21 months I believe. If you are already past 21 months, I suggest you go and talk to your MP about it. Sometimes it helps when they inquire.

    Proof of Funds (Express Entry)

    I would guess that more "international" banks would be easier to deal with in this regard like Standard Chartered maybe.

    Let's hope you don't have to live through the "no news is good news period" anymore. It sucks IMO. Currently Niagara Falls office is moving quickly. Where is your application? And how about ordering GCMS notes? That might get the application moving

    So average processing time has come down to 21 months now? A few months ago it had gone as high as 24 months.

    Apparently they ask you to block 2 hrs 15 mins or so. So bear that in mind.

    Not necessarily. Me and my wife's application was processed in Niagara Falls despite us living in Hamilton. although my wife's test invite came from Hamilton office.

    Thanks for the information. I guess I will have to work extra later to catch up on it. Ugh. But, I'd do anything to get this done and out of the way

    Hey, Congratulations. What time did it start? And how long did the oath take? My oath is scheduled at 1:15 PM and I wonder how long it will last and if there would still be time for me to reach an important work meeting at 3 PM?
