December 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Clemency30]

First of all congratulations buddy!! Now, did you reply back to your Test invitation email or did you write a new email to the email address that had sent the test invitation?

Also did you ask anything specific like what's the wait or when is your oath date? Or simply asked for the status of your app?

Thank you. I started a new email. Stating my uci and my application number, told them I called twice and the officers mentioned that there are no further actions required for me. I also mentioned I have a few job applications pending because they both require only Canadians as my citizenship application has to be finalized. I ended the email with "looking forward to hearing from you regarding the oath date.". I emailed them last week Friday.

.
Sure. I just emailed them. Keeping my fingers crossed

Did you get any response from them?

I got email from Scarborough office for test invite. I sent them email yesterday, asking for Oath date. They responded on the same date but they said my case is being processed by Mississauga office. Not sure why and when was my case transferred to Mississauga office.

Did you get any update from them?

I reached out to Scarborough office (email address that I got test invite from) but they told me that my case is being processed by Mississauga office. Can you guys please share the email address for Mississauga office (if you got test invite from Mississauga office).

I just found a website, which might be useful to figure out whether a ceremony will be in-person or virtual.

There are certain dates specified along with the location. I believe these are the in-person ceremonies.

If the date/location is not listed then it’s a virtual ceremony

So far I see various dates till Feb 4th. Hope this helps.

My oath ceremony is on Feb 1st and I didn’t find this on the website, so I’m assuming that mine is a virtual ceremony.

What was the title of the email - if you don't mind? Thanks for sharing your experience. I am just trying to find anyway that might help. It's been over 4 months since the test was marked completed on the tracker and nothing happened since then (other than the system wide updates). I'm a Dec 6th applicant, and background was completed early August. I finally was able to reach them over the phone last week after a couple of months of trying! and all they had to say that's nothing seems outstanding right now, and I just need to wait. So maybe I'll try to send another email. Thanks again and Congrats!

Following on your steps, I just got off the phone and was told by the agent that nothing is out of place and confirmed the same information I see online. No new information.

I can see some movements in the Vancouver office with the last few messages in this thread. Really happy to see that. Hopefully will be included in the subsequent batches of updates. The next step is to email after waiting a bit to see any update in the coming days.

Vancouver applicant: Online submission on Dec 2021, Feb AOR, Sep Test Invite, Oct Test Completed, and All BG and LPP are In Progress and Oath Not started. Its been 4months since the completion of Test and 13 months since the submission.
