Just curious....I applied in person on 19th April at Service Canada office in North York (as Passport Office was only entertaining walk-in for travel within 26 days or less!). The staff was very polite and efficient and asked me to wait for 20 days before I can start tracking. I forgot to ask...

She said we can track but after 20 days!

Hi, Thank you for the guidance. I live in North York so decided to try my luck at the North York Service Canada centre as it is clearly stated that the Service Canada - Passport Office is not taking any Walk Ins except for Emergency Travel within 2 days... I decided to walk in and submit in...

Any pointers on this would be helpful and if anyone has walked in and applied there. Thanks.

Good news....I received my citizenship certificate in the mail from Canada Post today. Ceremony on 03/30 and certificate on 04/08...so it is very efficient from Scarborough office. Next stop...Passport application. All those still waiting for test invites and oath dates...sit tight! Cheers, NC

First things first. A big shout to this forum here and it has been like we have all been on this journey together! (for all those waiting in the wings...have faith and hang in there!). :) I had my oath ceremony on 30th March. Was very smooth and efficient. I just saw the tracker and see that my...

Yes that is correct. I was wondering for the longest time myself as my oath is scheduled for 30th March. The email came in on 22nd March. The trend on the forum from my analysis is that it comes in 6 days before ceremony in most cases. Regards, NC

Thanks. Got the mail this morning....Looks like IRCC is looking at this forum :p

Anyone with Oath ceremony scheduled for 30th March received the instructions email? (Scarborough office!) Its only 8 days to go and I haven't got any mails and I am starting to get worried. How long to wait before reaching out to IRCC.

Hearty congratulations! Happy for you... :)

My oath ceremony is scheduled for 30th March. I have a couple of questions: Any news if IRCC is planning to start In-Person oath ceremonies anytime soon? How many days before the online ceremony would I get the detailed invite for it? Regards, NC

Finally after a looong(ish!) wait and god's grace I got all the status updated to completed on Nov 30th and received the date for the oath ceremony as March 30th , 2022 which is exactly 366 days from my application submission date. ;)

All the best! Keep the faith! :):)

I am in the exact same boat. test status has been updated on Oct 13, 2021. Background Check is complete but the Physical Presence , Prohibitions and Language is still In Progress. Buck up Scarborough office!

My file is also with Scarborough office. Completed my test on 12th Oct and Status updated to completed on 13th Oct in the new tracker. All the other elements are in progress except for citizenship ceremony which is of course not started. From what I have seen on other posts here , it may...

Looking at the progress here just curious to know what are my options if I get an invitation but I am not able to join. I guess need to be physically present in Canada even for the online oath. I believe I will have the option to say that I am not able to attend if that date is too near to my...

It took 48 hours for mine to change. From what I have observed and read in this forum it can take up to a week for the status to update. Regards, NC

So what could be the possible next steps? I am due to travel outside Canada in December. Not sure if that would be an issue.

Thank you. I think you have been a guiding post for a lot of us here and you seem to have a good handle on the process. I want to take a step back and say thank you. In the uncertain times, your well researched answers help get some sense around what is happening. Keep up the good work and as...

Pardon my ignorance but what is a Ghost update? In the new tracker status for each of the stages is either "Not Started" or "In Progress" or "Completed". Regards, NC
