LOL! Not at all! Congratulations on both counts.

Hi All
I need some help on below matter...

I had contacted my MP to look into my case file and apparently I have passed criminality verifications as well as security verifications (it notes currently valid)
however they says my immigration verifications have not yet been initiated.

Does anyone know what does it mean? / How long once initiated is that process going to take?

Welp, today I got the invitation to take the oath. March 20th at 1pm. What's really making me emotional is that 14 years ago, at the spry young age of 14, I stepped off of a plane in Detroit to come to London to see where I would be moving to. On that day, March 20th 2005, I took my first step in Canada- and felt at home. 14 years later, at the age of 28- exactly half my life so far- I will become a citizen and cement my feeling of being home. Now it's time to get emotional and drink maple syrup by the gallon.

Edit: Apparently I can't edit the spreadsheet anymore, so someone has to update it for me.

After going through the journey of obtaining PR then waiting on citizenship, I finally became a Canadian today!! Took the oath at the Mississauga office. Ceremony was well planned and organized. Lasted just over an hour and then almost everyone stayed back to take pictures with the Judge. For those still waiting for test invites or oath ceremony invitations, hang in there and best of luck. Hope you hear from CIC soon.

Many many congrats. Always happy to hear someone having oath. Makes me a bit more positive.
