I called them 3 hours ago and they sent me the zoom meetnig details less than an hour ago.

Call them. This is what I did today and they sent me the info

Thanks for the update. Tried calling twice now, but the lines are busy. Could not get through an agent. I'll keep trying. Appreciate you both sharing this.

I know the office. I have sent an email to them lets see when they respond back,

Similar situation. I am scheduled for 29th as well, I called them yesterday and they told me they will send an email again but haven't received anything yet.

Try calling them after 2 Vancouver time because I called twice after two and the wait time was not more than 2 to 4 minutes

Managed to get through. However, the wait time was 27 minutes. I requested a callback. Expecting an agent to call in about 10 mins from now.

@mesho @001876 Spoke to the agent who told me that they sent me an email about the oath on June 15. I told him that I did not receive any email. He then put in a request for the email to be resent and said that it will take 2 business days. But I already received it - barely took 2 minutes after hanging up the call.

The oath invite seems to be from the Mississauga office. What time do both of you have your oath? Mine is at 7:45 AM on June 29.

I'm in a similar situation – oath scheduled for June 29 (SCR office), tracker is stuck on loading, and no formal email yet. I'm going to call the contact center today and check what's going on. Will update here if I hear anything relevant.

I did not hear until about 8 days before my event, so for sure follow up, but you might get something in the next couple of days.

Yes, all sorted. Thank you! I've emailed them asking for an e-certificate. Let's see what they say.

Folks, I called IRCC yesterday, to see why my application is in ghost mode since March and regarding the note I saw in my GCMS notes "E-Grant Pending Docs", the agent told me that my file look fine and nothing is outstanding and nothing to worry about and in line for next step (even residency and prohibitions still in progress) and that I have to keep an eye on my email for any instructions, so I asked him what is the next step, he said ceremony! I am trying to consider this a good sign, but who knows how IRCC works!!!

Hi,
Has anyone defer/postpone their ceremery oath? And in what time or how long it took to get a new date? Please advise.

Highly recommend to avoid it if possible - there is no set timeline - someone I know had their oath in Mississauga in Oct 2022 - they were outside and ask for rescheduling - came back in Nov 2022 but got new path date only in Jun 2023 and completed recently. Hence unless it is something you cannot avoid, just stick with what is allocated. If you ask for reschedule you cannot follow up or do anything - it’s Upto then when to give you a new date.

Thanks, however somewhere I read in forums reply with the email from ircc is that the max time they can keep the application open is 6 months and accordingly the new expected date is within 6 months only.
Honestly, I am ok to wait another 6 months but just wondering do they again calculate the physical presence or they just consider the time when you applied. I am actually out of country and will be here for another 6 months.
