Any updates regarding your oath ?
None! I've been calling every other day and submitting urgent processing request weekly. I also submitted a complaint yesterday citing the lengthy time of my application vs applicants from Sept/Oct 2023. Their upper mgmt needs to look into this more because they are getting away with faking stats in clearing backlog but really its screwing over older applicants.

yes, I think we are the unlucky ones!! I am in the same boat as you are.
I filed a complaint on the timeline vs Sept/Oct applications being processed faster. The older applicants are getting screwed over just so their stats look good. Everyone needs to submit a complaint and obviously write the message professionally and politely but they need to know that everyone is paying attention.

Right here: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ClientContact/en/Feedback

I've used this before on other issues I had with IRCC which I was able to resolve so they definitely look at them it just takes time. So enough people submit feedback it will bring it to their attention and maybe they get their shit together in the offices.

You are not alone. There are lots of people like you (including me). You can order GCMS notes to find further details. It helped me to find out that I am stuck at security clearance for the past 8 months. Other than waiting, we can't do much :)

Can you followup based in the gcms notes? Were you able to followup that what is security clearance and why is it pending?

Not really. That is all is written in the notes. I filled out a webform once but I received an automated message just saying that my application is still in progress and I have to wait. I also applied for ATIP on CSIS to get further details but all I received was an acknowledgement that they are doing security checks and they can't release more information. So, waiting is the only option.
I don't know why my application is going through enhanced security clearance, or how long it is going to take, or what it really means and what they are checking. There is not really that much transparency unfortunately. I just am trying to care less :D

Question, when traveling and returning back to Canada do you get sent to the secondary examination line to talk to cbsa as a current PR holder at the airport?
