I am really tired... applied in June 2019 still waiting for the Test.... what an unlock month it is for me ... 2020 applicants from Toronto are getting invites and we are stack in here... So have a question I have asked my MP and they got back to her and they said criminality and security are valid but it shows on my new ecas that background check was completed back in oct 22 2019.. nothing since than. how are they valid I know they are valid only for one year ? anyone can halep, new Ecas also shows background check completed.

Criminality clearance is valid only for 1 year. Security clearance is valid for 4 years.

It is likely that they will have to obtain another clearance for criminality your previous criminality clearance would have expired in October 2020.
 
Congratulations!

I have updated the spreadsheet.

Please post an update once you receive the oath email.

All the best!

Thank you mate. Will definitely post an update once I receive the official oath email.

If a decision has already been made on your application, which appears to be the case here, there won't be any interviews.
Thanks! I have oath scheduled for Oct 25 2021 now.

Officially received the oath invite yesterday. It is scheduled on August 17th.
 
Does anyone know how often IRCC Hamilton conducts Citizenship Ceremony?

My Test was on July 5th and status updated to "Completed" the next day. Prohibitions, Language Skills and Physical Presence were changed to "Completed on 26th July. Only Oath Ceremony has "Not Started". When should I expect my Oath invite?

On the old tracker, the status is "Decision Made".

Response is greatly appreciated!

For me my status got updated on 23rd July and after a week my oath also got scheduled. I think my file is in Scarborough.
 
According to the stats sheets on the tracker, the time between DM and Oath Invite can vary substantially. it seems to vary by location.
My DM was July 5. if I look at the stats it seems to be an average of 24 days till invite to oath. Yet some have waited 45 and a few even 90. days.
It is said the oath is usually within 90 days of the Test. That would mean we ought to hear very soon.
Patience I suppose.
The good news is that it does move along eventually.
We check our status daily.

I’m on the same boat as you even with the exact same dates. No test invite yet. I feel stuck, I don’t know what to do. It’s taking way too long. I sent them a letter by mail, called them, completed a form online expressing that I feel my application has been dormant. I really am lost and don’t know what to do, it’s been over 2 years for me.
