Paper Application - 2 adults, 1 minor

Location: Mississauga
Total Number of Days in Canada: 1101

Application sent by mail: April 11, 2023
Application received by IRCC: May 25, 2023
AOR sent: June 6, 2023

Background Check Completed : June 21, 2023
Citizenship Test In-Progress: June 28, 2023 (Take between Jul 4 - Jul 24)
Citizenship Test Completed: Jul 21, 2023 (Took on Jul 19)
Language, Prohibitions & Physical Presence Completed: Jul 31, 2023

Currently Tracker shows Citizenship Ceremony as Not Started.

Q: Can anyone with their experience suggest, when should we expect the Oath Ceremony Email and the process to start and also if I get a date that falls during the time I’m travelling (August end) - what should I expect with the rescheduling process ? Are they accommodative or they just put you on a dead hold like the IRCC phonelines Lol … Does it throw me back by few weeks or does it throw me back by months for another Date of Oath ..? My Travel Plans are unavoidable with all the bookings already done and I‘m praying that the oath process starts in 1st week of september when we’ll be back in Canada already.

Thanks in advance for any sane advice :)

Post in your own month thread where more people could give you some sorta expectations? Very few of us here in May have test + lpp completed, so no one really knows.

If not, post in the guide thread and someone will answer your question

How long does it typically take for tracker to update after you responded to an email from IRCC for additional details? A week? Two weeks? Varies? It's been 3 business days, and it's still showing "waiting on you" in the tracker.

Mine still says waiting on you and they wanted additional info from last June. I called about it and agent said it just has not been updated in the tracker but there's nothing outstanding from me.
