some habits are hard to shake eh lol. This forum has been hugely entertaining and educational. Thank you all.

They asked me during the oath onboarding whether I have any travel plans intentionally in the next two weeks and I said no so they may be processing people who need the cert quicker first. All in good time. Breathe in, breathe out.

Et... c'est fini. Dès aujourd'hui, je suis finalement fièrement canadien (en tout cas, officiellement, parce que j'en étais déjà un dans mon coeur). Pour celles et ceux qui attendent encore leur tour, je vous souhaite bonne chance. Ne perdez pas l'espoir, votre temps arrivera très bientôt. My...

Following up, I went with the virtual option given it could take many months to get rescheduled for an in-person ceremony.

To each his/her own, I suppose. We must each follow our own way. I wish you good luck.

One of the most interesting things about the human species is its ability to make up fictions. We wouldn't be where we were without the fictions we have made up about existence. Society, laws, countries, borders, religions, social hierarchies, money, races and most of the other human bullshit...

yes you'll get a separate email. I got mine a couple days before the start of my window. keep an eye on your junk/spam folder to be safe.

You don't say how long it's been since the 30 day deadline. If it's pretty recent, call them and explain why you missed it. They might give you some more days.

With all empathy, it's not a competition and it's not a zero-sum game ;) Given you've been waiting so long and have even got your MP involved, you've done all you can. This will not be easy to hear, but I would say please stop comparing your timeline with anyone else's. You're only torturing...

adding another data point that I just got a response today to the webform query I sent on May 27th. So it took them 11 business days and 14 calendar days to respond this time as well. I'm really glad I called them on the phone when I was coming up on a deadline to submit docs.

Try searching the forum.

unfortunately, there's no expected timeframe. It's different for everyone. There are people for whom it takes a week and then there are people for whom it takes months.

I hear they sell tchotchkes downtown :p

The RCMP has no idea about the UCI or your application number, yeah. They're the police, not immigration. IRCC will match your fingerprints to your file using the DCN request number on the fingerprint form, which the agency you took your fingerprints at links with your UCI and tells IRCC about...

Search the forum a bit and you'll find tons of info. People tend to read too much into this "non-routine" designation.

> Citizenship application needs - 3 years of physical presence and have to file taxes for 3 years. I can't speak to the rest of your post but to be clear, the rules are: 3 years of physical presence and have to file taxes for 3 years if you were required to.

La caméra est utilisée seulement pour prendre des photos de toi aléatoirement pendant l'examen. pas besoin d'autoriser accès à l'audio de ton ordi. tu peux voir les détails ici...

I did, in January. Not sure if that qualifies as "recent" for you. It took 3 weeks from the time I scanned my fingerprints. I believe the agency I did the fingerprints at them out to the FBI the next day, and then it took a couple days to get to the FBI facility. The rest of the time was the FBI...

The choices humans make are endlessly fascinating. Thank you for being great teachers of counterexample!

1. Yes, you can. 1. Yes, I do. Both the questions you asked can be answered with a few minutes of searching on this very forum so I'm not gonna copy-paste stuff for you. They don't pay me enough for that lol. Good luck.
