Update on my status: My +1 got citizenship on July 27th (yey), but since I was out of the country, they have to reschedule me (i tried hard for an exception). I've been trying to reach out to them since Aug 10th, when i came back, but no response yet about a new Oath date. Can't call the 1800 as it always states they're busy. I travel extensively abroad, the MP office mentioned the following this morning:
"Unfortunately, as of yesterday morning, IRCC reoriented most of its resources towards the Afghanistan crisis. Therefore, we can only contact them regarding Afghanistan cases or other very urgent life or death cases. So, at the moment, I can’t contact them regarding your case. Your only option as of now would be to contact the IRCC centre yourself. I am very sorry, however, this situation is completely out of our control.
I know this situation is stressful for you, with all of your travels ahead of you. This is why last time I wanted to ask you when you would be gone, so that I could ask IRCC to ‘’block’’ these dates in the calendar and not schedule your ceremony while you’re gone (but I think you still weren’t sure of the dates yet at that time). However, please note that, when we ask IRCC to ‘’block’’ certain dates, it can take a while before an agent actually does so. This is probably why, last time, they scheduled your ceremony while you were abroad: they scheduled it before any agent had the time to block these dates off the calendar."
It seems everything will be a bit more delayed, eh?
