August 2020 - Citizenship application

Dear Seniors, a very quick question. How much time they are taking from test completion to oath invitation? Is there a rough estimate or time range? Just asking because I can go back to sleep again and not bother them even by thinking about them.

3-5 months depending on where you live(your local VO) this can change considerably.
Also if you get PP request or Residence Questionnaire request etc. add another 1-2 months minimum.

Hi guys,
I think you’re right royce110. It can even take longer than that- at this point we never know if they’re really working or not working at all! As stated in many other posts I completed the test on June 15th and still waiting for an oath invite? Btw, what could the timeline be between these stages:
Scheduled for oath
Oath invite notification/email
Oath date and ceremony day???
Guess even after you get an oath invite there’s still a month or more to go before the oath date???
I don’t really want to believe it but my estimate is that I’ll finally have the passport in hand by April May of next year!! Or is it still too good to be true??
Best of luck to all!

Quick question, a few months before I had requested my atip notes and on one page it says : pages 17 to 25 are withheld persuant to section 16(2)(c) of the access to information act. Is this normal ? Thanks

Hey Anjushka, Nobody can give a clear estimate of those timelines since these vary case by case depending on the office, their # of slots for the oath etc.

If one had to take a guess;
Scheduled for oath - 3-6 months provided no other requests for PP etc.
Oath invite notification/email - 1-2 weeks prior to Oath date
Oath date and ceremony day??? - From being Scheduled from oath to the date - currently anywhere between 1 month to next year March - April 2022.

On a side note I spoke with someone from my MPs office in detail today and was told oath ceremonies can very well be pushed to Summer of 2022 since IRCC has dedicated most of their resources to the Afghan Crisis, they are prioritizing 40,000 applications in the next few months so we should expect delays.

Thank you so much for your reply royce110!
You are right about the timeline and delays. Yet, some applicants are still lucky enough to get invites. Btw, what stage has your application reached?
Good luck!

Yes some 2021 applicants have been scheduled for Oath in October

I just got the test update yesterday, will complete the test as soon as it opens up next week. And then another waiting game would begin.
