Thanks!

I will try calling or sending an email. It will be 4 months tomorrow since BG verification. It’s quite annoying.
The issue here is that your file might not be with Kitchener IRCC just because you live in Kitchener. My friend here in Kitchener who applied in Dec 2022 just received test invite 2weeks back and the test came from Mississauga. What I understand is that some folks in Kitchener have their files with the Niagara office and Niagara redistributed the load to Mississauga and Scarborough recently. Before shooting Kitchener IRCC an email, I recommend calling IRCC call centre to confirm the exact office your file is at.

I was able to call IRCC and I’m quite devastated. 4 months after background check has been completed and our application is still in Sydney. :(

I’m not sure what to do next. It seems very hopeless that the application isn’t even in a local office yet. I will appreciate tips from anyone. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How long did it take eventually?

Is your test completed and are you now waiting for LPP? If yes, this might a good thing. As per many other conversations I am following, people have told, the application being with Sydney means your LPP is in progress. Once LPP gets completed, the application is sent back to the local IRCC office for oath. As you may notice, test & oath are 2 things that has to happen at a local level.

Unfortunately, we have not been sent test invites since the BG verification was completed Feb 14.

I called them yesterday too and I was told the same. Seems there are few ceremonies Kitchener every month because I don’t get it. From other threads, I know for sure 2 people got Oath invite for July 10 in person oath and then July 17.

Does anyone know the email address for Citizenship Oath invite from Kitchener IRCC? Is it the same as the Test invite email address?
