I called them twice and asked them about it, but they told me that I don't have any problems with my profile and I've to wait. I was wondering if anyone of you guys have the same status

I passed test in late Jan and husband passed March 13 (second attempt) - immigration officer specifically said all is good and done and now just wait for oath invite. We're both still "in process".

I'm in the same situation. I did my exam mid-Jan in Montreal, and my status is still in process. During the interview the officer told me to wait for an oath invite within 4 months (that was pre-covid of course) ... So I assumed there's nothing to worry about. I'll call them if my file goes beyond 1 year.

Montreal is undeniably among the slowest of all IRCC offices. I did my test last November 2019 and been DM since then but until now, no schedule for virtual oath ceremony. It's been more than a year already.

I don’t think any one received test invite since 15-Mar.

Service Canada will resume work in certain locations, hope this could be a sign that the IRCC might resume tests and interviews.

Anyway to know if applications are been processed.

Good luck to you all!

The ceremony took me 17 minutes with 3 people and me through Zoom.

I had to cut my PR card into 4 pieces, sign oath or affirmation of citizenship during the oath and send the signed form to officers after.
