I received a survey email on June 17th, completed it on June 18th and called IRCC on June 20th. They don't need anything for me and I just have to wait. My last ghost update was June 14th, my spouse's was May 8th, and my child's application hasn't seen any updates since March 5th.

Hey did you get anything yet???
I am still waiting everything completed but no ceremony started yet.
And does anyone else know how to check which office is processing the file?

For this question- Have you ever held travel documents or passports during your 5-year eligibility period?

do we have to attach a copy of Canada PR card as well? Since it was used for traveling to canada?

PR is not a passport
You can add the PR when you need to add IDs

the question says travel document OR Passport ? PR card is travel document when travelling to Canada. Can anyone else respond?

It's not
Maybe others have different opinion
Easier for you to call and ask

Travel document here they mean the one given to refugees for example (blue) or certificate of identity (silver)
You had NO passport at all when you traveled from your country?
I know you're confused but you'll need to add your PR when they ask about your Canadian IDs anyways. That's what I would do

They are asking about passport. PR card is not a travel document. PRTD is a travel document.

Exactly!

Anyone else from the Surrey office waiting for an update? I just got my LPP completed last June 27 and updated June 29. Waiting for the Oath date next.

Anyone got an invitation to the oath ceremony on Jul 26th? Have you got any info where and when your ceremony will be?
My office is Montreal.

 

[dazzlingdia2020]

Is all the communication electronic or do they mail anything? I am considering moving which will change my address. is it better to stay at the same address till the process is complete?

Hey @ATLAS007 have you received log in instructions for the portal to download the e-certificate?

Language Complete: June 17
Physical Presence Complete: June 17
Prohibitions Complete : June 17
SCHEDULED FOR OATH: June 18
OATH DATE: July 8 (not sure yet whether online or in person)

I'm just so grateful to this group! Spcial shoutout to @Alalac and @SVJ2024! Cant wait to finally become Canadian!

You SUPER deserve this!!! Soooo happy to have had the opportunity to witness so many great people like you who worked so hard reaching the final step of this long journey!!

Saw that you are attending a virtual ceremony, I am certain that you'll enjoy it the same way or even more as if it was in person because it will be YOUR moment!! Enjoy it!! And after that celebrate it A LOT!!

I had the same feeling in the beginning with mine but in the end everything went soo perfect that I still can't find words to explain it!!

SUPER MEGA CONGRATULATIONS!!
