I sent email to SCR office for request to schedule me for Oath. My test is been completed since 26 Jan. No update since than. Below is reply ( They are quick in reply for saying No. )

---------------------------------

Good day,



Citizenship Applications entails several stages and the knowledge test is simply one of these stages. A final review is yet to be conducted on your file before a decision is rendered. We will not expedite any applications for ceremony without a final decision on file.



It is your responsibility to ensure you keep all documents valid in the event you need to travel.



Regards,

Scarborough IRCC Team / L.TA (Citizenship Officer)

As I now moved out of Toronto to Niagara falls. Filled out webform today. Does anyone know if it makes any difference for oath ?

What email did you reach out to them ? I never got a test invite email so not sure where to email.

Thanks for the reply! I hope I don’t get an interview since it’s random from my understanding. Some folks claim that it takes a long time after the interview to finalize the application.

I am ready to fly tomorrow if they want, but hopefully I won’t have to wait long.. Also, it’s discouraging that people who applied late last year are already getting oath while people who applied earlier are not. I think their whole process is one big random mess.

Don't worry too much about the timeline, it's beyond our control. There are people who get the entire process completed in 6 months and some take 2 years( mostly applicants during the initial few months of Covid19). I am not sure you rushing back to Canada and updating IRCC on the same would make considerable changes.
My understanding is, that there are new staff at IRCC to cater to the volume, and they process normal applications without any issues. But when an application deviates from normal ( marital status change/ address change/ name change/ gaps in the residence in Canada, etc) they are forwarded to senior officers for them to process the application with related validations. So I would suggest leaving IRCC to their own internal processes and we live our lives better and happier. If ever there is an issue they will definitely contact you.

How was the oath invite before decision made?

Nice catch.. But online applicants won't have DM. That application for sure is Urgent or a miracle by IRCC

Even I was surprised, but that's what his timeline showed.

So guys, I emailed Scarborough office yesterday and they replied that would schedule my oath for end of June. Today AM I received the tracker update for 28 June oath ceremony.
Bottom line- they are incredibly responsive when you ask them to expedite the oath but not to accelerate your processing..
