Unfortunately it looks like this is increasingly normal. I passed my test in June 21, got DM on Nov 2, and in almost 6 months nothing on my oath. I believe there are a lot of people in this situation. Once I hit 6 months, I'll email my processing office (Ottawa) using the address they sent trhe...

As the previous poster has said, change nothing and when you are called you can just ask for the certificate to be mailed to whatever address you want. Ottawa seems to be the most delayed office in the country unfortunately. I read in an earlier post that they are still clearing a backlog of...

It depends on what office you are moving to in Ontario. For example if it's Ottawa that could delay everything because no-one in Ottawa seems to be being processed while other offices seem to be more efficient. I'm in a similar situation but moving from Ontario to another province. I got a DM in...

Hi, Ottawa applicant and I did my test in June, DM on November 2 and I've heard nothing since. I haven't seen many Ottawa applicants called for Oath who applied in 2020...

Also Ottawa. Decision made Nov 2. I imagine Ukraine crisis like Afghanistan, Trucker's protest and COVID will delay it even further. Not complaining, just stating what I think will affect the timelines.

Hi, congratulations. You've reached the decision made stage. You can check that on the old portal where it should say 'decision made'. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your oath ceremony. You won't receive anything until it's been scheduled. Even when it's scheduled it seems to take...

It's very dependent on the local processing office. Seems to be between 1-6 months. I'm in Ottawa for example and have been waiting since Nov 3 after I got DM'd. Montreal Vancoiver and Missis seems to be more 6 months. Congrats and best of luck

Agree with this. Am in the same situation. But the other elements would be flagged as incompleted or not satisfied and they would most probably have rejeceted you or declined your application. However I can't confirm this 100%! I'm hoping no-one got DM and then heard nothing for 6 months and...

Usually it's a good sign that someone went into your file and updated something (even if it doesn't show immediately). I would imagine you'll be getting an oath invitation soon all going well but I've learned to be pessimistic and expect everything to take 6 months and be happy when it doesn't...

It's usually nothing to worry about and simply not updated properly but to be certain I'd call or submit a webform. It'll probably get updated to everthing completed and DM with just the oath ceremony to wait for. Just depends on the agent and the processing office

The old system just shows DM but doesn't say what that DM is! So no is the answer. But the tracker will show things being completed so you can see that the DM is in fact successful. I'm still waiting for the oath part to start on the tracker myself (waiting 3 months).

Hi, DM should be imminent but oath could be a while. After you get DM I would say it's going to be 6 months until you have a passport in your hand. So let's say 1 month more for DM, 4 months for oath and 1 for passport. I got my DM on Nov 1st but nothing since unfortunately. I passed my test...

Well done glad you got the update on the DM. I presume the oath ceremony hasn't started yet?

It should be updated on the old system? https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/introduction.do?app= If not very soon. I think they do their updates between 8AM and 10AM approx. EST Then everything on the new portal should update apart from 'Oath not started' which is where I've been stuck for 2-3...

Happy Christmas! I think it's a good sign. Probably Decision Made? If you already have a DM maybe it's the oath? Keep us posted and a tentative congratulations.

Hi, pretty similar timeline to yours. I expected 5-6 months wait between DM and Oath. I'm not sure what you're local visa office is but it seems to take 3-4 months from whenever you get a DM but I've not seen too many beyond 6 months... If you hear nothing by mid January I'd reach out to them...

Thanks for the reply and advice. In an ideal situation I guess I'd stay in Canada alone for Christmas waiting for all this process and paperwork to work itself out but I have a sick parent I need to return home to. I don't believe it's an urgent processing situation yet but it's not an ideal...

Hi, I got a DM on Nov 2 Ottawa, and am waiting for the oath ceremony to start. I would like like to travel to Ireland before Christmas but am concerned about what would happen if my Oath is shortly before travelling around early December and issues with travelling before I have a Canadian...
