    Seems bizarre... I imagine all the rest should be updated any day soon hopefully and you'll at least reach the beginning of the end with a DM

    https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/introduction.do?app=ecas That's the old system which will show decision made or in process https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login That's the newer portal but it seems you already have access to that as you mentioned your oath is in process.

    Decision made. On the newer online portal it'll usually show everything complete apart from Oath Ceremony. For the older portal it shows 'decision made' instead of 'in process'. It usually indicates that all your file is completed and you've been moved to the next stage of waiting o be invited...

    And the address that gets sent to (the certificate) can be changed at the ceremony right?

    Quick question: If you received your test invite by email does that mean you'll receive your oath invitation by email or could that come by snail mail?

    From what I've seen from test to oath usually takes about 6 months. Sometimes the DM is fast but then you have a long wait for the oath and sometimes the DM takes 4-5 months and the the oath arrives in about a month. I haven't seen many cases of 4-5 months for DM and 4-5 months for oath so lets...

    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 passport...

    Hi, I meant a letter in the mail for the oath not the DM. I understand there is no notification for DM. The only email I received was from the LVP Ottawa for my test so I'm hoping whatever comes next regarding the oath will come that way also. Thanks.

    Hi, Update to my application: Both of the portals were updated for me overnight. The old one has changed to 'decision made' while the newer one now says completed for everything except the oath ceremony part which says not started. Overall the status says 'in progress'. So DM November 2nd and...

    I imagine a lot of people have to travel for potentially more than two weeks while our applications are taking almost two years so it'd be interesting to understand if this is an issue or not. I intend travelling in December before my employer takes back the vacation time I've earned (so I'm...

    I noticed some movement for Ottawa in the Jan 2020 group where people just got their AOR and test dates pretty much in the space of a week this October. So hopefully after processing Afghanistan and returning to work there'll be a bit more consistent movement in the next couple of months (no...

    Hi, I applied for my citizenship and PR card renewal at the exact same time July 2020. I got my card by October last year. So the answer is your PR card renewal will move a lot faster in most cases as it's a renewal where as the citizenship is giving you something you don't have already. In my...

    Hi, BG check completed in February and test completed mid June and nothing since. I look through the other tracking sheets and have seen some people progress in the last few weeks and receive decision made (from January and February) so at least there is life in the Ottawa office. From my...

    I did some practice tests and I found they helped me after I had read the exam guide a couple of times. Just google search them and you will find some free online tests usually set up by municipal libraries and other public bodies. here's one I used and you can customize the questions to your...

    Thanks for your replies. I agree that this is always easier to manage from within Canada. If I get to a 'decision made' then I would feel save leaving because I won't be asked for fingerprints or anything else and then I'll just return for the ceremony and handle the passport processing. It's...

    Quick question: I'm almost at 3 months since my test was completed. I might have a job opportunity in Europe. Would I be able to accept that role and become a resident in the EU and start working there while my citizenship is still pending? Or must I physically remain in Canada and be a resident...
