Ottawa is THE slowest office. Fortunately for many applying from Ottawa, a fair number are sent to Niagara Falls for processing and those are processed more timely. For those stuck in the Ottawa office ... good luck

Congrats!!! Glad you finally got it. Yeah, there are always some people in each oath ceremony who don't know how to mute their microphones.

Yeah, in recent months, lots of people have reported being unable to log into their tracker after they were scheduled for oath

2022 online applications finally seem to be moving as well. Not quite the 3-6 month express treatment that paper applications get, but early 2022 online applications seem to be taking around a year now. Unfortunately for remaining 2021 and older applications, IRCC continues to prioritize new...

Yayyyy finally, congrats!!

Done! I hope as many people as possible, including those who have already gotten citizenship, will submit a comment. I am still suffering from having to postpone plans for a year that I would not have had to do if I had not suffered an inordinately long delay in getting scheduled for oath.

Did you both apply online?

Did she apply on paper?

from 1 day to a few weeks. but for most people, it moves to Complete in 2-5 days

It seems that on every application month thread, there are only a few people with write permission on the tracker, and after those folks get citizenship, they often leave the forum. Which is quite unfortunate, not only for those who are still waiting, but also for all of us in not having...

They really should implement this ASAP! As someone who experienced an unusually long delay in getting an oath invite after everything else had moved to Completed, I am still suffering from the consequences of the delay, which forced me to postpone or change plans for another year. Maybe they...

That's great that you get an in-person ceremony. Did your file get transferred to Kitchener because you moved there?

At the top of the first page of the notes, there should be a "Request Date" header. At the bottom of each page on the left side, there should be a "Time Generated /Heure d'exécution:" line and a "Date Generated /Date d'exécution:" line

Passport processing is fast these days, 1-3 weeks regular service, usually closer to 1 week. If you do not have travel already booked, you can just go to any Service Canada near you. If you walk in, you should go earlier in the day and will likely need to wait a couple hours. You can also try to...

In-person only. There is a pilot program going on where some people who are asked to an in-person interview are given the option to take an in-person oath immediately afterwards.

Sorry to hear you weren't part of the pilot that gets to take the oath right after the interview, but you should get an update soon.

Wow finally some movement, congrats! But almost 2.5 years to get a test invite?! Outrageous.

Congrats! Finally!!

Your oath invite should have instructions on what to put in the subject line. For Niagara Falls when I had my oath in September, it was "Oath form for <application number>, <your last name>" It doesn't matter what you name the oath form, but I would suggest including your application number in...

Sorry to hear that you have to do fingerprints again, but unfortunately with IRCC's delays, that is not uncommon. I like this person's post which expressed the situation very well...
