March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[rajkamalmohanram]

Hello Admin,

Good Morning,

Please update spreadsheet. Finally, after almost two months of waiting. I have been schedule for oath ceremony on Sep 03, 2021, Just updated today. Not sure what documents do we need during oath. How long does it take to get the citizenship certificate after oath?

Thank you for your time.

Congratulations! I've updated the spreadsheet.

You'll receive an email about a week or two before the oath ceremony that will tell you in great detail what you have to do before, during and after the ceremony. Please post an update once you receive the oath invite email.

Here's the contents o the oath letter that I received.

hey folks, does anyone knows how long does it take, after the background completion, for the test invite to be sent out?

There is no need for passport for the oath ceremony if you have other IDs. Check (rajkamalmohanram)Raj's oath letter for the document/ID list. Its not interview. If its interview then they will call it as "oath interview".

Hi everyone, I called the call center today to learn what is the decision - my ECAS says decision made, the tracker shows all steps completed except citizenship ceremony it is not started - agent was kind to let me know that citizenship is granted, I will just wait for the ceremony to be scheduled now. I hope that gives hope to all. My application was with Halifax office @Mystico_90 @HeidiA

Well reasons for Urgent / Express Canadian passport would be travel outside Canada. At this time, they are requesting proof of travel (tickets) showing the travel dates in order to accept urgent/express processing of passport.

Oh I see, to be able to return to Canada I need a Canadian passport Because PR card will be in pieces after the ceremony thank you for the reply

What I saw from messages in this forum there is no certain time. I received mine 2 months after the background check completion.

I am not sure if this helps but my application moved after I submitted an online enquiry.. yours is more than 15 months so you can submit a status update request

Thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately you can’t do much until your office invites you… though, I think you’d get an invitation soon

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi All, is it normal to get a phone call for an oath date? I received a call and I was told the system will be updating either today or tomorrow with my scheduled oath on Aug 25!

@novascotia27 @HeidiA @NovaScotiaMarch2020 @missbreizh My ECAS changed to Decision Made a week ago too (Halifax). It is a ghost update as when I click on it no new line is added. I hope we receive some new updates. It'd have been nice if I could vote in this early-called election but I don't think there's any chance.

It's been a tough ride with CIC, especially with Halifax office being so sluggish. I'd say after all of this marathoNS is over, it'd be a nice to meet-up in person for a get-together/hike for congrats etc.
