December 2020- Citizenship Applicants

[cooldoc80]

Hello.
I've received an Oath invitation last Friday (April 22) to attend an Oath ceremony on May 9th.
I'm currently living in my home country with my Canadian spouse and I can't attend the Oath ceremony. I know that some people were allowed to attend the ceremony from outside. Anyone knows how to request Oath from outside?
Thanks!

Congratulations. There is no way to take the Oath outside of Canada. There has been a single report of a persone who has been sick and did it. another member send them a request and they said they will review it and decide and this is only for exceptional circumstances.

So my advice to you is to try your best to come to do the oath even just for a day and you can even fly back if you are in a hurry and make sombody mail you the certificate of citizenship and apply from your country for passport at canadian embassy.

Because if you postpond IRCC can delay you "legally" up to 27 months or even more! as they have recently more than doubles the processing time for citizenship applications

May I ask when did your ( Language , physical presence and prohibitions) categories in the online tracker Marked as COMPLETE?

All the best

Hi everyone, I have a random question for those who are waiting for the Oath ceremony after passing the test. When you login to the portal to check the status, at the very top of the page there’s a line that says “Updated: <date>”.

I just went in to check and everything looks the same, but for that field it shows yesterdays date. Does everyone see the current date there? I want to believe that before it would show “November” for me (when I passed the test) but I could be totally wrong… so checking in case my application is somehow moving slowly. Thank you!

Still shows Dec for me, that was the date I completed my test as well.
which indicates your application is moving further.

Does anyone know what office processes citizenship applications for applicants who live in the territories? Do the territories all use the same office, or does it vary? I looked around some and couldn't find this information.

I submitted my passport application by mail to Mississauga, they received it April/14th but I have nothing yet. Anyone knows how long it takes

Looks like no activity for December 2020 applicants OR is it just me who gave up any hope?

Hey all,

If you applied for Canadian Citizenship or PR Card in 2019 or 2020 and are experiencing delays, it’ll be good to sign this petition https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-3994

Finally received the oath letter for May 31. I'm sure things are moving , but not at our expected pace.
exactly 2.5 years since I started the application for citizenship.

I already checked out the passport backlogs, looks like it will be another few months before we can even travel. wishing the best to the rest.

I was wondering the same thing about the 2.5 years vs the 1.5 years
