IRCC Scarborough Applicants - Online Test/Interview/DM/Oath

[chowyto]

I got email in next hour or so.

My advice is to speak to agent tomorrow morning and help them sort it out for you. Errors can happen and perhaps officer has sent email to the wrong applicant (in my case the CIT520 had someone else's email address, however luckily our application number and other stuff was absolutely correct).

Got it. Thank you for the advice. Will be call back tomorrow to figure out what happened with the email

I know 1 guy from Scarborough who gave interview today. Another one gave interview today but not sure if that person is also from Scarborough.

There was Oath ceremony on 30 March then today and next on 13 April (or 14th April).

A very initial data set, but my thoughts into Scarborough functioning for March and so far is (I may be fully off - fetch some popcorn and read on) as follows :

Sequencing of test, interviews and Oath ceremonies:

1- Scarborough is on full speed sending test invites and conducting interviews. This may probably be going as much as officers can handle
2- Looking at past 3 ceremonies every week, I am expecting Scarborough wil be conducting 1 ceremony a week.

Future Oath ceremonies:

What I have seen here is that people with 13/14 March DM have received Oath invites for ceremony on 30 March, today and for the ceremony on 13 April.

Apparently, ceremony candidates are divided into 2 half DM slots (first 15 days and next 15 days).

I believe the first half of DM for March will be taken care of by 13 April ceremony. I am expecting the next 2nd half DM (from 15 March to 31 March) will be in batch for next ceremonies that will take place on 21/22 April and 29/30 April. This cycle will continue depending on how many DMs are there in the second half of March.

We can revisit above hypothesis by end of this month to conform to above hypothesis.

Good luck everyone!

I just checked the tracker again, there seem to be oath happening on 13/14/16. That’s very encouraging

I know it's only been 8 days since I finished the interview, but I'm just impatiently waiting and trying to hold temptation to contact them :/

You should contact them. I suggest you write to the officer who made Decision on your file and hopefully you can get some clarity.

I hope I dont have to wait that long, but if it comes to that I am going to contact my officer in the last week of April as I would have crossed 60 days timeframe given during the interview.

My theory on DM backlog:

I looked at the tracker and I can see there are many Feb 2020 DM applicants who are probably getting majority of Oath invites.

Perhaps that is why there were few 2021 DM are channeling into the Oath stream.

Does anyone know how long does it take for a fingerprint result to be delivered to IRCC once RCMP mails the result? And does it appear right away in the system once IRCC receives it?

2 weeks from mail out from RCMP to IRCC Vancouver office. Follow up with IRCC in about 2 weeks and you should be good.

RCMP sends all mails in batches (based on my discussion early last month with IRCC agent, I was given to understand RCMp sends large chunk of mails in a single batch).

Once the batch mail is received by IRCC Vancouver then they open up individual letters and update the files. There may be a hit and miss and delays.

Hope there is no delays. But thank you for the info

I'm going to give them a call and see what they say. If nothing useful I'll shoot the officer an email.
