question for the ones with the oath ceremony scheduled and a family application.
Do all applications have their steps changed to completed before having their ceremony scheduled?

My application has all steps completed besides the Citizenship ceremony, my wife's app hasn't changed since her test changed to completed, and my kids are the same since AOR.
 
I got the Oath ceremony email from CIC-Mississauga. It is an in-person ceremony at Mississauga on the 20th of September.

Good evening,
Location: Scarborough,
Application type: Online,
Application submitted May 5th,
AOR: May 17th.

Radio silence since then,
Can someone plz tell what’s the next step?
are finger prints must? Is everyone getting this request?
It shows in progress for pretty much everything except for Citizenship test and Oath. For these two it says not started.
it’s disappointing to see online applications are taking longer I applied for online application thinking it will be faster.

How fast after if any fingerprint request do we get the citizenship test request.?

How long are online applications taking?
Thank you…

Fingerprint is not must for everyone. For most of the applicants background check gets completed and then test invite comes. Currently for online applicants Jan 2022 applications are getting test invite, so you can calculate for May accordingly.

I love how IRCC told everyone to apply online and just completely ignore Online applicants. At this rate it could be years before online applications are attended to, or they could claim they lost the online files and make us reapply
While applying online I thought I was doing the right thing, little did I know.

Thank you. Made a big mistake applying online. Looks like we have to go contra, if they encourage paper applications then Apply online…
