Has anyone received an Oath invite from Windsor office recently? My wife's application is being processed in Windsor office. Her LPP got updated to complete yesterday and I am wondering how long it takes to get oath invite after LPP for Windsor office.

I'm in the same boat. Completed my test on June 4 and still waiting for any other updates.

Please stay connected with us as I think we have a similar timeline.
So I got an INTERVIEW request just now to do it virtually via Microsoft Teams.
However i'm out of the country my grandma is very ill I'm staying by her side literally.

Does anyone know if its ok to do this Interview while being out of Canada or its an issue that could delay my file for ages?

Email generally has the info about that. Is your email missing that?

They don't mention anything about being physically in canada for the interview.

So I'm not sure if the fact that it's virtual means I can do it remotely from any country,
or its just virtual coz it's easier for them and physical presence in canada is required for all interviews.

Does anyone know if those interviews can be done without being physically in canada ?

You can reply to the same email and ask. If they ask you to be in Canada, ask for reschedule based on your grandma's illness.

That is good news I guess (with the virtual interview)

I am sorry to hear about your grandmother.

The problem is I don't know if I'm able to do the test virtually or I'm expected to be physically in canada.

The emails says NOTICE TO APPEAR so does that mean I need to physically appear?

Just wondering if anyone did this citizenship Interview via Ms Teams from abroad and what was their experience with it

Hi Everyone,
I have a question. I have done my test in last week of May2023 and my Interview was done on Sep08, 2023 and the same day my language was updated to complete. After that no response and i am still waiting for prohibition and physical presense to be completed. Is anyone going through the same situation? What can be the reason of this delay?

What type of questions they ask in the Interview? Do require some preparation?

Do you know how long after LPP for ceremony invite? My LPP also completed on 12th and no update yet.
For me, it was 4 days on the tracker (Scarborough office. btw) - still waiting for the email with all the details, but they have another week before I'll start to worry about that.

Aor March 2023
Test and BG completed May 2023
Requested ATIP Oct 4 (Haven’t gotten it yet)
Ghost update Oct 14

What does ghost update means? Does ATIP trigger the status date and shows a ghost update without any change in the application?

Or the ghost update means they actually working on my application?
