They didnt ask for any certain documents in my interview, just the original documents I used in my online application. Any idea why I received an interview or any advice/tips? Thanks!

@s_m_e_m would you mind sharing if the interview will be conducted online virtually or will it be an in-person interview? I've heard it's mostly done via Zoom now. Hope it'll be a good news for you.

By the way: when you applied back in May, did you upload just the bio page of the passport, or the entire passport book? Thanks!

Received an email on how to download my citizenship certificate after my oath ceremony. Kinda pointless as I don't have any oath ceremony scheduled or even the email to schedule it. I suppose this is part of the process?

Bit surprised to get an email 2.50pm PDT. These email usually come early in the day for PDT folk.

Are you applying for a citizenship e-certificate? If so, did you also receive an email invite to the IRCC portal to download the citizenship certificate?

I know it's frustrating for folks, but think about the sheer volume of applications that the officers are processing at the moment. And if anyone else got PR during covid, you'll remember how things ground to a halt and took years to get through the system. If I ever get frustrated by the apparent lack of anything happening, I just remember how grateful I am to have PR and to have an opportunity to be granted citizenship in Canada. Not everyone has that opportunity.

I got PR in 2011! Never travelled, so what’s my delay?

Received the oath ceremony email with nothing on the tracker lol. Last update is still August 18 (when I saw LPP completed). I've gone from seeing updates on the tracker and no emails for the citizenship test, to oath ceremony email earlier than the tracker apparently?

Not sure why it is earlier than you guys above, but I'm guessing its being organised by WST-CitizenshipClient-Notification@cic.gc.ca
