What i meant is that She didn’t mention anything was pending and I didn’t ask. Since she she didn’t mention it I thought I’d get dm and oath invite real quick. However she did ask about my time ouside of canada and to get a police certificate since i was abroad over 183 days but I clarified that it was not all in one country and that i was in one country for a certain amount of days and in onother for that amount of days but because they were European countries they dont stamp your way out and in. Therefor, I didn’t need and police certificate from either countries. I gave her the dates but nothing was in paper, she did seem satisfied and she didn’t ask for further documents so I guessed that everything was ok. I even called cic and they said that no documents are further requested from you. What’s your thoughts?

If they had doubts about what you told them you would be getting a request for more information. The officer who interviewed you seemed happy with what you told them, so it's unlikely that'll happen.

As the officer didn't tell you what the status of your background checks is there is a possibility they're waiting for one of those (that's out of IRCC's control: it's RCMP and CSIS who do the work). Some officers will tell people if that's the case and some won't if people don't ask...

Even if that's not something they're waiting for, it can still take weeks for the status change to be processed and for the invitation to the ceremony to be sent.

The spreadsheet can give a hint about processing times, but there aren't that many data points, so it's a vague indication at most. The Ottawa office seems to be quite quick, though, so we have that going for us (considering other places are closer to the year-mark for citizenship ceremonies). Even at their slowest most people (who provided data for the spreadsheet) get their DM within about a month.

But yeah, the wait is frustrating.

Congrats,
when did you get your DM?
thanks

February 22nd ...

Doesn't mean to put you down but people must put some effort by looking at different threads or postings on this forum before asking questions on typical information; for example, you could have looked at my past postings or at the tracking sheet to know my timeline - good luck with your application !

They work on weekends?

They work on weekends?

More likely that they work on Fridays ("We sent on March 2nd"), and the updates in the system are pushed out to ECAS overnight, so we see them on Saturdays.

I swear today at queen street C3 level. Clerks were very kind. Whole ceremony took 1hour 25min. First opening speech oath getting certificate finally national anthem. My journey is over. Thank you everyone for contributing the forum. Good luck...

I have the same situation, I passed (with decision made in the next day) and my wife failed the exam. more than 5 weeks passed and the re-test date for my wife is not specified yet. My application is frozen until she clears the test again. The application is considered non-routine now!
P.S.: I'm live in Ottawa too

Hi Ramaram,
Any update in your situation? Did your wife get the 2nd test invitation?
Nothing new from my side and still waiting response.

Thanks
