Thank you,

They don't change, they stay in process until the oath.

They don't change, they stay in process until the oath.

That's good to know. So, have you received a separate email for each of the applicants?
Thank you,

@rajkamalmohanram Have you noticed any activity of Oath ceremony from Mississauga office? I feel they have stopped working or stopped sending out oath invites.

Hello all,

I applied in Jan 2020 and received my AOR in July 2020. My application has been in process since then and I haven't received any update since. Online application tracker mentions only background check has been completed. No test invite even.

Are there any other people from Jan 2020 batch who are awaiting invitation for test? Please let me know as I am getting worried now.

Do you think? Maybe! But seriously there is no pattern to follow.

I have seen few cases matching exact 60 90 days too. Not sure if its coincidence. Will see.

Sent my pp scanned in mid July. Still haven't heard anything back. I love waiting in limbo.....

I suggest you get an extension of stay for a week at your current place. The reason i say that is, making a address change at the day of your oath may delay the citizenship certificate from being mailed out. Regarding attending the oath, you should be fine attending from your phone.

Does any one know how long it takes to receive the certificate after the Oath date? Mine is a regular processing case. Thanks again.

Hi Admin- Received oath invitation this morning for September 01.

Members- I have a small hick up here. Hoping to get any insight. I am moving on September 01 ( OAth day). The oath is not scheduled until 1 PM CTS. I wont have my regular internet connection set up by then. I was thinking of completing the oath via my mobile phone using the cellular data. Has anyone had experience completing the oath via their smart phone. Thanks in advance.

Hotspot your Internet from your phone to laptop. Or go to local library.
