Hello fellows

April 2019 applicant here (I know!), Scarborough office, test completed OUTSIDE Canada in August 2021.

After my citizenship application I had to leave Canada and due to pandemic got stuck outside till present. I had to write citizenship test outside Canada. Today I received the following letter via email from Scarborough office:

============
This is in regards to your application for Canadian Citizenship. You are receiving this notice
because Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) needs more detailed information
from you.
It is noted that you wrote the Citizenship Test from outside Canada. Please reply to this email
with the following information:
- The date you left Canada prior to Citizenship Test invitation
- The date you returned (or intended to return) to Canada
- If you are back in Canada, you are required to provide proof of your return, such as, travel
documents. This may include: travel itinerary, e-booking confirmation, flight confirmation,
boarding pass, Canadian entry stamp.
- A copy of your PR Card.
When responding back to this email please ensure that you include in the subject line-
- OOC – Application/File No.

Please provide this information within 30 days of this email to facilitate the processing of your
application

=============

Anyone received any letters like this? What does it imply? Any specific advice? I don't plan to return to Canada till this November probably.

Thanks in advance
I also got same email today morning. I also left Canada after filing application in March 2019 and did test outside Canada. I have responded back with date I left and my plan of coming back. I think they want to check our availablity for Oath and they do not want us to travel for Oath. It is my guess.
 
Hello my tracker status just updated with oath date August 17th. Is it normal to say? “Waiting on you”
Take the Oath of Citizenship
Citizenship ceremony
New update
Waiting on you

Did this e-mail come after your Language/Prohibition/Physical presence are completed, or before? I think the purpose of this e-mail is to ensure that you are inside Canada in order to take the oath of citizenship.
 
Folks whose s tracker updated with oath date did it say “waiting on your” is that regular to say this?

Yes, it'll say waiting on you until you take the oath and submit the oath form. Just like the citizenship test, it says waiting on you until you take the test.

Mine says 'waiting for you' without DM :D :p

Hi, I emailed the Scarborough office and requested to be scheduled for the oath and this is what I received

Citizenship entails several stages and the Citizenship Test is just one of these stages. Your file is still in process and requires a final review for a decision before your application can proceed forward accordingly.

When did you take the test?
