Guys i got all marked as complete today with only citizenship ceremony marked still as not stated. My ecas status is now in decision made status. How much time does it take between DM and Oath letter?

i got my background check marked as completed. It Was marked complete on 2nd September which was updated on 5th September. I had 3 ghost updates if we allocate 1 of it for this. Hope i have another 2 completed status just fingers crossed

Congratulations! My oath is scheduled for September 27 and I have a trip scheduled on October 8. I think I'll attend the ceremony and ask for the citizenship certificate to be expedited. If I hear from them that I can receive it within a week, I will go ahead and attend the ceremony.

Hi @danielvalenca, please let us know what happens on your oath date since the queens death, things have changed and what updates are you getting?

Hi the @thaikashaikh, I’m in the same exact boat as you. Let me know if you receive any updates regarding your oath? I’m mississauga office. Which office are you?

Well according to what I read, right now there is Queen mentioned in all official documents so that will change and that might bring delays but I’m not sure.
From what i know you will have to take oath to king charles instead of queen and nothing else will change except the ceremonies for 19 sept might get postponed but well u never know
