Check ECAS. You won't he having oath yet, even if they did send a notice, all were cancelled.

Thanks, Ecas is saying decision made, no other update. Would oath invitation be mentioned ecas? Yes cancellation is good. Hope they didn’t send any invitation between 7th and 14th.

Thanks

You are very lucky to have made the cut just before this weekend's announcements of cancellations.

Also, there are many of us who applied much earlier (March 2019 in my case) who still haven't finished the Oath, so be very grateful! Much luck and support in your future endeavours!

Thanks

Here is what my experience has been:

I am a March 2019 applicant, I took and passed my test the first week of Dec 2019. I wasn't approved immediately, but after 3 months I sent them the entry/exit documents they requested after I got them from the country they asked it from (a long 3 month delay, might I add). My application went to Decision Made last week in March 2020, but I received no email and no communication. Given the Covid-19 delays, I called them today, they said my application is approved and pending Oath now.

...but ECAS has no updates other than Decision Made. It shows "we sent communication in November 2019 for test in December 2019". ECAS is an imperfect system, it gives minimal information.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Thank you. I received oath cancellation letter. Let’s see when the process starts again.

Anybody tried urgent processing for oath after cancellation of ceremonies? I read somewhere that they may consider and process urgent processing cases. Not sure though!

I think if your case already processed as an urgent processing case then they find a way to do your ceremony faster but if your case is a normal processing case then you have to wait until they announce the next step (maybe it takes couple of months)
