June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Shmak2017]

Again, it may only be a coincidence - I have really no idea if the GCMS request did anything to speed along the application. I requested the GCMS notes on May 2, and I received them on May 31.

It`s a coincidence only.

Hello everyone!

I just want to thank everyone for all the advice, support, and time to answer all my queries! I received my Citizenship certificate yesterday, June 7, 2022. My oath was June 1, 2022.

Wishing all the best for everyone. Next stop is passport! Will appreciate inputs regarding the process, if you have any.

Again, thank you very much!

This is a standard template reply from the webform's team..
Instead of that the email you received the test invitation from, write the same request to that email instead. Since they are your application processing they maybe able to advise you better...

Do you have travel planned or anticipate a need to travel?

In my circumstances if I were in your situation I would renew my card as I want to have a travel document at all times (mainly for family emergencies). But if you don't foresee any need to travel it may be worth waiting.


With that being said, I would still guess that there's a chance your oath will take place before September. Then the fun process of applying for a passport begins.

Even if you don't renew and you would have to travel, you can also get a PRTD. So plenty of options.

I would say give it another month, if still no movement then apply for renewal.
