Thanks for your inputs. My only concern would be that I have no documentation to show for the residential address I’d be stating on the application form. I’ll be requesting that they mail my citizenship certificate to my friend’s address, so this will be the residential address they’d have ‘on...

Hello all, I’ve flown into Canada to take the oath on 15th June, after which I’ll be applying for my Canadian passport in Montreal via the ”express route” for issuance within 2 days. I’ll need to obtain my new passport before flying back to Switzerland as this will be required to renew my work...

Hello all! So I just flew in to Canada to attend my oath ceremony scheduled for 15th June and will be filing an application for my Canadian passport in Montreal. I currently live in Switzerland, but would need to have my passport issued in Canada via the ”express route” before I fly back as...

Not yet - I suspect they’ll send through the official invitation via e-mail closer to the oath date. Some have reported receiving the e-mail with the Zoom meeting link 2 days before the ceremony…

Finally - scheduled to take the oath on 15th June! You should hear about the next steps very shortly :) Cheers Shwetabh

Anyone, guys? Not sure what to make of a ghost update at this stage of the process and I’m beginning to stress out (likely for no reason…). Cheers

Is it normal to see a ‘ghost update’ before receiving the oath invite? All steps except oath ceremony were completed on 12th May and the online tracker seems to indicate that my application was last updated on 25th May. Do I except an interview/request to send through copies of my passport at...

Thanks! I was half expecting my file to be put on hold since I took the test abroad. I suppose all that’s left to be done is to be prepared to fly into Canada at a short notice for the oath ceremony! Cheers

Hello all, I took the test whilst abroad earlier this March and as of 12th May, all elements of my application including language, physical presence and prohibitions have been updated to “completed” with the exception of the oath ceremony (not started). What are the chances of being scheduled...

I’m in a similar situation - had to leave Canada for a 1-2 year long stint in Switzerland right after I sent my file through in June 2021. Got my AOR in September, BG cleared/test invitation sent out in Feb’22 and test marked ‘completed’ in Mar’22. I’d like to believe that instances of...

Congratulations! Looks like the mysterious “West Office“ have their act together as our processing timelines are similar-ish (so far). Have yet to see further updates since BG check and test status were marked as “completed” on 11th March. Fingers crossed!

Clearly, our applications are being processed by an obscure IRCC office somewhere far out in the west that nobody here has any experience dealing with…Do you reckon it’s a ‘pop-up‘ office which will cease to exist abruptly one day? I don’t see this office make an appearance in the application...

Would like to know myself! It took them 2 weeks to update my citizenship test status to ‘completed.‘ Although that’s not too bad, considering some offices are taking longer than a month…

Perhaps, but then again, one would think that a major processing center/office such as Vancouver wouldn‘t make such a mystery of their location in their e-mail address. But what do we know…

I have the West office processing my application as well and was wondering the same. West = somewhere in Western Canada, presumably? I signed my application in Montreal. In any case, they appear to be fairly responsive as they replied to my request to take the test outside Canada within a couple...

Agreed, all the more so since IRCC specifically say so on their website. If it’s any reassurance, the temporary suspension of processing an overseas applicant’s file until his/her/their return to Canada is arbitrary as some candidates have received oath invites despite having taken the test...

Many thanks for your help - I’ll write to them to enquire about the test invitation and “notify” them that I’ll be taking the test outside Canada. Cheers

Hey guys, I applied online on 15th June, noticed a “ghost update” on 14th Feb’ followed by an update to the citizenship test tracker, which now evidences a window of 21st Feb’ - 15th Mar’. I’ll be taking the test outside Canada but have yet to receive the official invitation e-mail with...

Congrats mate! We appear to have similar timelines - applied online on 15th June, noticed a “ghost update” on 14th Feb’ followed by an update to the citizenship test tracker, which now evidences a window of 21st Feb’ - 15th Mar’. I’ll be taking the test outside Canada but have yet to receive...
