Yes it was a Montreal office virtual oath ceremony.

Just confirming that I’m done! I was smiling so hard to pickup that passport and to know that I’ll never be waiting on Immigration Canada for myself ever again!! It’s been a looong journey since mailing my PR application December 2016. Wishing the absolute best of luck and speedy processing to...

Did my oath of citizenship yesterday! It took about 2.5 hours as expected, and in all I was really pleased with the experience. The instructions were clear and I was happy to be part of a bilingual ceremony for Montrealers. They were able to provide a date and time to pick up my citizenship...

And finally on Friday I got DM and my oath scheduled for Tuesday, December 6! Still waiting for the official email invite, but very happy to know the process will be over very soon. Montreal Office / Paper Application Delivered: 2021-07-02 AOR: 2021-10-07 Test date: 2022-01-07 Test completed...

Should I call the local office? I’d like to call tomorrow. It’s been since 2018 since I have them a ring for my PR application!

I do see Decision Made in ECAS, which had not been the case before I checked today. Even last week it said In Progress... so hoping that's a good sign that this will be done soon!

Since my last post in late August, I did decide to request GCMS notes in October. Since then I've gotten Physical Presence & Language Skills updated (on November 8th). Still waiting for Prohibitions for the past 10 days but hoping my application's completed soon. Montreal Office / Paper...

I have cleared the background check. I haven't ordered GCMS notes yet as I'm not convinced that it does anything to speed up the application. When I did with the my PR application it just showed me it was still in "the pile" and it took months more to get completed...

Currently on month 7, soon to hit month 8 after the Citizenship test. Just a bit sad because there's an election here in Quebec and I was hoping to get it done in time to vote for the first time, but IRCC has other plans I guess. Montreal Office / Paper Application Delivered: 2021-07-02 AOR...

Thank you for posting this! I am currently on a 3 week trip to the United States to visit some family and I had not noticed or forgotten this detail.

I don't have a real idea... I'm preparing to wait 5-6 months for the oath ceremony because my local office is Montreal and they seem to have a backlog of people waiting for the ceremony. On the spreadsheet I'm seeing that most non-urgent requests take at least 3 months between the test and DM...

I think they have waved the majority of interviews due to COVID-19, especially for "non-complex" applications. You may get an interview request, but I am not expecting to receive one based on what I understand. The next steps are waiting for a decision on the application before the oath...

My citizenship test turned completed Monday, January 10. This was the next business day after completing the test on January 7th. This seems in line with other people's timelines in this forum (the test "completes" in the first few business days after actually doing the test).

Citizenship test is done! Tentative score was 19/20 after 2-3 days of studying the Discover Canada guide. While I saw the test invite in Ecas on Jan 3rd, my actual email came Jan 5th. Today was the first day of my two week test window and I decided to get it over with! Type: Paper Location...

Yes, it says the Background Verification status was completed on November 24, 2021. Everything else remains in progress (language skills, physical presence, prohibitions, citizenship test as of today) with the exception of the Citizenship ceremony.

I just checked and I saw I will be asked to schedule a citizenship test between January 7 and 27. I don't yet have the invite email, but ecas is updated: Type: Paper Location: Montreal, QC Physical presence: 1,161 Application: Single Application sent: July 9, 2021 Application delivered: July...

AAAAND... finally: today, 27 months and 27 days after my application was received, I received confirmation of decision made! Either that or a cruel April fool's joke from my lawyer... My Timeline App Received - Dec 5, 2016 AOR - Jan 13, 2017 CSQ App Received - Jan 19, 2017 CSQ Approved - Mar...
