What is a ghost update?

 

[harsh cheema]

I applied 3rd jan, test completed 11th oct, updated on 15th oct, language and physical presence in process.
I need to go back home in feb, should I expect oath before that? Any suggestions?

Hi there. Are there any Citizenship applicants here from Calgary?
Im writing on behalf of my family member, who has been waiting for Oath taking ceremony. She was contacted 2 months back for the ceremony, but her event was scheduled in Mississauga, Ontario. She explained them that its been over 12 months, she moved to Calgary - and had updated her new address with CIC. Since then, there has been no response from IRCC. Curious - if other applicants had their ceremony scheduled in Calgary?

***UPDATE*** We just got an email today from IRCC that they will conduct Virtual Oath Ceremony on 15th Dec and has invited my family member. The day I posted this message above, I also reached out to the MPA of our area and explained them the situation. Ironically, he responded saying that he will contact CIC right away, but asked us NOT to expect any response before 15th December. So i dont know if its his contact, that put some heat under some CIC officer to look and process the file they have forgotten on their desk. Not sure how CIC really operates.
Glad its finally getting over. Wishing the very best to every one here and hopefully your citizenships and passports arrive sooner than expected.
