Hi Vnexpress,

You are right, usually the ECAS changes on Fridays early in morning around 1200 AM. But, getting Oath invitation are varies, which I have no clue why for some people it takes too long.

Hi all,

this is my first post in this forum, I applied for Canadian citizenship and I passed my test on(May / 25th) at Vancouver office ( Suite 200 - 877 Expo Blvd ) at 10:00 AM, and the interview went well, my ECAS changed on (June / 16th) from in process to Decision Made and it is stil DM ever since.

When I click the Decision Made to see the details, there is new updates other than the Citizenship test Notice, nothing else is there, no further updates.

Is there any one her from Vancouver office ( Suite 200 - 877 Expo Blvd ) ? would anyone has a clue why it takes so long and no new updates yet?

Also how can I add my time line? how can I make(establish) a new thread in this forum cause I am new and this my first post.

Thanks to you all in advance.

Hi Im from Montreal as well and will have my oath taking on wednesday JULY 15. They also sent that 5th LINE with me saying they sent a letter and didnt include the details but when i got the letter its an OATH taking ceremony. So dont worry it might be an oath letter. Ecas sometimes is not reliable ...Goodluck.!

Yes, I just received my oath letter today also (also applied from Montreal), after line 5 appeared last week. We are scheduled for July 28th, so for the earlier poster mentioning there are no ceremonies scheduled after July 15th, don't worry. This is almost certainly your oath invitation, and as my letter was sent on July 9th, I would expect your ceremony to be approx July 28th also. Almost there!!!!

Hello Today I had a test. I pass 19 out of 20. but I am so much worried friends ..please help me out if anyone has knowledge about my question

CIC officer asked me question about my Past USA history. I visit usa only one week since last 5 years but I used to study there on student visa before I came Canada . Also My family also living there. My parents and sister. So i didnt lied to them I told they living there

I told her I like canada because of lots of things and I have a good job here she didnt ask me that will you go back usa or not but I have doubt that could she reject my application because of USA connection?

Thanks friend..appreciate your reply

Unless the officer said there were concerns or needed to review further you're probably fine. I went to college in the US, worked there 10+ years and STILL work there today (from home since I came to Canada), the officer made a lot of questions to me but said she was satisfied in the end and I will have my oath ceremony on Wednesday. As long as you don't lie and you comply with the requirements (physical presence/etc) then you should be fine.

It was an oath invitation, FINALEMENT!

But the only thing is the passport from my previous country is in the hand of the consulate, and they wouldn't be able to hand it back to me until two days after the oath.

I don't want to tell the consulate that I need the passport for the oath taking.....

and they don't have a rush service for passport.............

any suggestions?

Call CIC and tell them you can't make the oath date and they'll re-schedule it. They will ask why you can't make the ceremony and this may delay your application if your reason isn't good enough (in their own minds). If you had asked I would have advised you to not do anything with your passport until your application was finished. I have personally declined work trips (at the risk of being fired) to ensure I would attend all my citizenship appointments and would have all my paperwork in hands.

That sometimes is a pattern for "oath letter on the way".. but even when there's an entry saying "we sent you a letter on XX date" it still could be a couple of weeks for it to arrive.
