Not me. I last received the IRCC settlement survey in late November 2021. My background check did not get completed until late February 2022. Before that, I had also received that survey in July 2019.

Yes, local IRCC office. You can do so by replying to the email that your test invite came from.

Oh man, that sucks. Do your GCMS notes show everything approved/completed except oath? Yeah, contact your MP with your travel plan in any case. You can also try calling early in the morning. You might get a helpful agent who can tell you more or follow up with your local office, although you...

Oh oops maybe the Winnipeg office is the same as MB SK? Not to scare you, but see the posts of @warrior30 who requested expedited service and got an unfriendly agent and is still waiting from October 17! But there are others who got better agents from Winnipeg and received certificate much more...

It does look like Niagara Falls sent you to MB SK because MB SK has an earlier availability. I haven't seen a lot of posts on that office, but the ones I've seen are from people with normal processing. Definitely let them know during registration that you have the upcoming travel. You should...

It comes in a large brownish yellow envelope that does NOT say "do not forward"

Congrats! And that's great that you got an in-person oath and that this rescheduling happened timely. I'm not sure how long in-person oaths are taking, but online usually takes 2-3 hours and closer to 2 than 3.

Hey! Your passport should arrive soon. You can call them at 1-800-567-6868 to check status. If they have already mailed it out, they will be able to give you a tracking number. Seems that September regular speed passport applicants are taking around 2 months and change to get their passports. I...

Email your processing office (reply to the email that the test invite came from). Also, have you requested GCMS notes? You might want to do that as well, if you haven't done so recently.

Congrats! It's both - one office for MB SK. Unfortunately that office is known to be slower to send out the certificate after oath, so be prepared to wait until after the new year to receive your certificate.

FYI, as noted by a few other people here, it takes forever to get a response if you request your passport processing status online. I had submitted an online request on October 26 and just received a response via email today, 1 week after already receiving the passport! Although you do have to...

Not automatic. But those who take the test outside Canada are more likely to be asked for an interview than those who took the test inside.

It does look like they were waiting for you to come back. Seems that IRCC doesn't like citizenship applicants being outside Canada, based on your and many other people's experiences, even though officially they will keep saying it doesn't matter.

You can apply by mail from the US for your first passport. It's the same form for those applying from Canada or the US. However, if you want more urgent service than the regular speed, you do need to apply in person. However, the main benefit of applying in person is that you just have to show...

Yay finally! Congrats! Glad they processed your CIT 0520 pretty quickly.

I finally received my passport in the mail today. Applied at Service Canada in Ottawa on September 26.

You should reply to the test invite email. That is your main processing office. Some files do get set to other offices for oath scheduling, but you will not know that until you receive the oath invite email or your main processing office tells you or you call the general IRCC number and an agent...

Wow, what a great Black Friday weekend gift now! Oath invite will very likely come soon. But if it doesn't, you should email your office after a month.

The PR requirement is to be a permanent resident (when you apply), and not lose PR status before you take the Oath of Citizenship https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5 You can use PR status only through an official process. You do not automatically lose PR...

Yes, before the ceremony, you will be checked in by an agent who will confirm your address, at which time you will give your new one. You can also include your new address in the email you send right after the ceremony with your signed oath form. I have heard that it usually takes a long time...
