Hi,

Please update - Received the invitation to take the Oath today (1st Feb 2022)

Thank you.
All the Best!

Mine is tomorrow.

A Generic Question to all, I read about cutting out PR Card during the Ceremony. How mandatory is that ? Since oath ceremony came like a surprise after long wait. Looks Like I can't find my PR card in the house. I called Immigration Customer service, they asked me to submit Solemn Declaration and convey same message to Ceremony folks. Did anyone had/heard the similar situation ?

Appreciate your response!

Sorry I have no knowledge about your question regarding the PR card.

Raised a webform today.
It's about 12-13 days left until the oath and still no invitation.
Mine was scheduled for Feb 01, i called them on Jan 24 at 9am. After multiple attempts i got thru them. told the guy that i didn’t receive oath invite yet, he checked my file and said he has no idea about it. I dint argue or ask anything else thinking he is just a rep and theres no point in asking/arguing with him. I thought mine would get rescheduled but on the Same day at 2.24pm i got oath invitation email.

so I suggest you give them a call.

Yes, the norm seems to be about 2 weeks prior to oath.
I got an acknowledgement of the webform I raised today morning - so going to wait till Monday before I call them.

Hi all, I just checked the mail, and I finally received my certificate of citizenship! It took 3 weeks and a day, despite my requests to have it expedited. Oh well. Now to see if I can manage to get a passport by Friday so I can make my flight this time.

My best wishes to those of you still waiting. The end is near!
Did you provided them with any supporting documents for the Urgent or you just informed them orally?. THx.

Updates: 2022-02-02
  1. Ceremony was very smooth, No issues at all.
  2. I had to fill Salomon declaration for Missing PR Card.
  3. Set signed copy or auth form and Solemn Declaration form same day.
  4. Citizenship ceremony status is Completed on same day.
I wish there was column in tracker to update these status, could help others.

Application Status is still Pending. I hoping that will be completed when I receive Citizenship certificate ?

I did plead them for urgent processing of my Citizenship certificate, but IRCC person I was speaking with unless I have ticket booked they will process it in a normal fashion.

Any Idea how should I proceed booking appointment for Passport while I am waiting certificate ?

Thanks!
