Hi all, Based on updates as posted in various forums (and Facebook groups), looks like IRCC is not following a true Queue model. So many 2019 applicants are in Oath Ready status and IRCC continues to invite 2020 and in some cases 2021 applicants for oath while leaving 2019 applicants in limbo...

Want to know if IRCC always calls before Oath Ceremony (for confirmation or sth)? Or such calls are optional and happen only if the applicants do not send back the forms in-time? If they always call, then for a family application, would they call both (me & my spouse) or just one call per...

Hi all, I just checked Application status for my minor kids (8 yrs and 11 yrs old) in the new Status Tracking tool and I noticed that "Citizenship Test" is showing as "Not Started" for minor applicants in new Tracker. For me and my wife, we received test invite in March and we completed our...

Hi all, I am planning to take my Online Citizenship test today and have this question: what will happen if my Internet connection breaks in the middle of the test? Internet service at my place is sort of erratic and does have 1 or 2 instances every 5-6 hours when it becomes unavailable. Did...

I am a September 2019 applicant, after seeing some Sept 2019 applicants having received test invites already, I thought I should check my application status too. I called up IRCC and the agent told me that Criminality and Security checks on application are cleared. So, some good news (that...
