July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[ksuresh24]

Did you previous already have an oath ceremony scheduled before the pandemic? Or is this the first and only invitation you got?

Yes, it was initially planned for March 26th but got cancelled.

Did my oath yesterday! Took 10 minutes! 2-4 weeks to receive the certificate and I am done!

Congrats!

Just wanted to check about the following:

Do we put fill only the signature and date in two places of the form(CIT0049 - Virtual Ceremony pdf) and leave the remaining sections like
File No, Client ID, Certificate no., Section Article, Seat No etc. on the top right box along with the bottom section where it says "Oath was taken before a citizenship judge or foreign service officer" for IRCC to fill up after we send them the form?

Yes, don’t forget your name in capital letters where it says applicant. The rest blank.

Hello everyone,

FINALLY !!!
I received the expected today, office location: Calgary; but not known if virtual or in-person. However, it doesn't matter for now.
I am still expecting a confirmation email which I believe will expatiate further the type of ceremony to be done.

Here;
"We sent you a notice on July 14, 2020 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on July 29, 2020 at 10:30 AM. The notice you will receive will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us."

Thank you all.

***Others (future applicants, current applicants, and co-expectants be calm, it's coming. Goodluck !***

Would you mind sharing your office location?
And whether or not you had a prior ceremony cancelled due to Covid?

None. It's been seven months since I did my test in Scarborough, have been stuck on 'Decision Made' since December 15th

Many 'decision made' clients plus those who'd prior scheduled oaths ceremonies but cancelled, are scratching their heads as to why they aren't being contacted by ircc for virtual oaths. They're supposed to be contacted first being "Ceremony Ready Clients". Contrarily, others who neither had DM status nor received any oath invite earlier, are relatively in fast-mode and receiving virtual oath invitations. It's complex, weird and confusing; don't know how ircc is dealing with.

***I'm guessing, previous DM and/or oath cancelled clients are undergoing some re-screening checks and re-clearances etc.***

I called IRCC today and was given a generic response: they are now contacting ceremony ready clients and I was asked to keep an eye on my email/ phone. Hope good news will come soon...
