Hi similar timeline as yours… also no progress. Only test and background as ‘completed’.

Not sure if it works, but I got my oath scheduled for 9th January 2023. However, I have a flight on the 21st so this is very tight.

Not sure if the ceremony is in-person. Does anyone know if there way to work around this?

@BOYX: that’s great that you have oath scheduled for January! Congratulations!
please share if you contacted IRCC in any way (phone call, email) to make your application move forward, or did you provide them for proof that you needed to travel in January and to expedite your application.

Also, please share how long it took to get oath email, from the time you completed test.

Thank you.

Hey there, I contacted my MP since my application was well past 27 months of processing. Then I called IRCC and they confirmed that I have an oath scheduled.

hey email them and ask if you can change your schedule to in person for 6th January, you will get your certificate on the same day and can apply for the passport earlier, for passport if you are willing to pay fast processing fees you will get in three days max.

Hey there, thanks I just e-mailed them and they got back saying they will forward it to the appropriate team. Thanks for the info, much appreciated!!

My background check was marked as completed before the test. And didn’t receive fingerprint request. How about yours?

Update: I received confirmation that I will be rescheduled for the in-person oath on the 6th. Guess I might see you in-person @savj

And alas, the final tale of the tape for my citizenship application:

Citizenship Application Status
CPC: Toronto; Type: Single; PPD: 1115;
Sent: Oct 06, 2020; Delivered: Oct 09, 2020; AOR: Jan 28, 2021;
IP: Feb 23, 2021;
Test: Feb 27, 2022;
PP RQ: May 06, 2022;
Interview: Jul 14, 2022;
DM: Nov 22, 2022;
Oath Letter: Nov 30, 2022
Oath: Jan 06, 2023

This means the full process has taken 2 years, 2 months, 26 days. The timeline given was 12 months back in October 2020.

If I have any advice to offer myself back when I started my 5 year journey of dealing with the IRCC as a complex applicant (during both PR Card + Citizenship), it would be this one: everything is possible to those who persist and I should NOT take no for an answer. I should persist by calling/e-mailing my MP till they help; persist by calling IRCC for updates; persist by submitting frequent Webforms for updates; persist by submitting frequent ATIP requests. If all else fails and the file has exceeded the normal processing time, I should consider seeking a Writ of Mandamus as this seems to get IRCC working on the file no matter the complexity.

While it seems like the whole system is out to get you, it only takes that one wonderful, empathetic soul to make the world of a difference. And one can only find them by persisting.
