No updates as to the schedule of my oathtaking ceremony. I think my application together with the others is stuck with Mississauga office. I sent them an email and no response at all. So frustrating!

Mine also from the Surrey office says 11:00AM (Time Zone) (Canada). I am assuming it is Pacific Time. I am going to call tomorrow to make sure.

Hi everyone,
Praise The Lord, my citizenship is update on January 11th for my oath in February 2nd, I am an applicant of April 2020, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, can't wait to see me pledging allegiance to the Queen and faithfully observe The laws of Canada and the constitution, the aboriginals treaty, Inuit and metis people.
I am so happy.

It looks like my morning routine will no longer include tracker checking!

Jan 20, 2022 - Citizenship oath status has been updated to Completed
Jan 21, 2022 - Your citizenship application status: Closed. Reason: We have approved your application to become a Canadian citizen.

Now I (im)patiently await my certificate.

EDIT: ECAS system also updated to complete with a new line added; 5. You became a Canadian citizen on January 19, 2022.

Hi All,

I just got an update today saying that my Physical, Language, and prohibition have been updated. Now the only thing remaining is the oath ceremony. Since it took 5 months for me to get an update since I took the test on July 8th, I don't have any real hope I will be invited to the oath anytime soon.
Did you get any update after that?
How long it took for you to get this message after competing your test?
Was your test status changed to “Completed” at all?
