All Applicants having their files in the Niagara office can keep track of the estimated timeline using the below Excel sheet, I have copied it from another thread: Niagra Falls office

Do we need to apply for Canadian Passport first or surrender Indian Passport first? and When to apply for OCI?

Hi. I got ceremony invite today from Niagara.


But tracker is not updated. Is it normal?

Also. We are family of 3. Does my child (under 14) need to take oath with us together? Can i cut out my child’s PR card on the behalf?

hey
My parents (both seniors) applied for citizenship in Feb 2022 and in Feb 2023 they got the invitation for Virtual Oath Ceremony. Since they were out of Canada so they requested to change the date.
Since then no update from CIC and they have been just waiting for new date. Does anyone got the idea how long does it take to get the new date?
TIA,
S

First get Canadian citizenship then you can surrender your Indian citizenship. You still need a nationality while having your PR status.

Happens to many where the tracker update no longer happens. Is it in-person or on zoom?
Did you child also receive an invite for oath?
