I hope you get your oath invite soon. I got my oath invite the next day of DM likely due to a delay of more than 5 months for my DM from the test date.

Better to be over prepared, than under prepared.Before we took the test, the CO warned us to not post/share the questions on social media, otherwise, they may cancel our citizenship. I gotta admit I over prepared for the test. The only advice I can give you is, study the Discover Canada book and practice a lot with the online tests, and you'll do great!

Everyone has to go through a short interview after the test. Nothing to be worried about, they ask very basic questions to determine your knowledge of either English or French. Mine took only 5 minutes.
Hi every one
Maybe this is a repetitive question but please help me to be clear about that.
I passed the citizenship test on 16-April-2019 but after 6 weeks from test date I have not receive any update on my application and still shows In process.
Is it Normal?
Because on test day (Mississuaga) they said we will complete whole process in less than 4 to 6 weeks. And now after 6 weeks nothing happened for my status.
I read from many forum that they received Decision made status one day or two day or max one week after the test
My application received at 22 of March 2018 and they started working on at 14 June 2018 So now it is more than 13 months (based their criteria of standard processing time that counts from the receiving date).
Thanks for your help again.

Unfortunately, there is no timeline on when they would complete the process. However, in the interview day they usually tell you which steps are remaining. If the security checks are pending, the timeline is wide open until they receive the results (IRCC has no control on this). Residency checks can also take a long time. In short, there is no definite deadline for the completion of process. Currently there are many applicants who receive the decision made after a couple of days passing the interview, whereas some have been waiting +20 months without any results.
Having said that, however, I wish you receive the decision made as soon as possible without any further delay.
