Congrats catchvb
I hope I will also get a good news this week.

Good News: Just called CIC call center and the agent confirmed that my oath is scheduled on 7th May (Thursday). They have prepared invitation letter today and will be posting it. No e-Cas update yet.

Confusion/Question: I have to travel by road on May-15 to USA. Earliest I can apply for passport (after two business days of oath) on Tuesday 12th in-person. I am sure I will not have my passport by 15th (in normal processing.)
So shall I travel to US by road with Passport+Copy of PR Card+Landing Paper+Driver's License+Citizenship Certificate?
Will CBSA let me in Canada without Canadian Passport?

I called CIC this morning and the agent says my oath invitation letter was mailed yesterday as well. He says my oath ceremony date is May 17th though (which is a Sunday)... hmm?

Hello catchvb and eltorpe;
Have you received your invitation letter in mail box? or as an update in ECAS?

Hello catchvb and eltorpe;
Have you received your invitation letter in mail box? or as an update in ECAS?

Nope, not for me at least. Since they sent the letter on Monday, I should get it either today/tomorrow or next Monday? No e-CAS update.

Hello catchvb and eltorpe;
Have you received your invitation letter in mail box? or as an update in ECAS?

No update ..no mail. Normally it takes them 5 days to deliver mail and no idea how long to update eCAS. I will update my status the moment I get letter.

Well, I called the call centre again this morning. First call, the agent refused to access my file because it isn't 24 months yet since I submitted the application. Called again, and this time the agent confirmed again that my invitation letter was mailed on April 20th and my ceremony date is May 7th (not 17th!). He emailed me the list of documents I need to bring to the ceremony and also the address/time in case Canada Post lost the letter. Still hoping to get the letter today though!

Congrats..you are over worried.. even if you don't have ECAS update or email or Letter ..get the PR card/DL/HealthCard (just to be safe) and come to ceremony.. That's it..
They will give you the one page there to sign and you will be all set
Wait is over
