Mississauga is dealing with a huge backlog at the moment - they recently updated their processing time to 27 months - If your case doesn't meet standard processing flags, it could possibly take longer. BG completed is a good sign already.
Mississauga Citizenship Applicants
- Thread starter mohammad2222
- Start date
I have ordered GCMS notes, but they didnt say much besides the secondary office being Mississauga.. and there were some due dates assigned to each of the parameters (Language, Physical Presence, etc.,).. I believe these are not going to be relevant?? Do they have to follow these dates and do they actually do that?
I had asked my MP to reach out to IRCC, I did notice that in the GCMS notes..
Its been 19 months for you, I am feeling horrible, hope and pray your file moves faster..
I did see that they revised their timelines to 27 months, that is too long.. other offices are processing within 12 months.. in my case only BG is completed, but others have even given their test and are waiting..
What are our options.. just wait and wait?
Yup when you finish waiting .. they want you to wait more ! Ours took 24 Months
It took 3 months for me for status to change in new tracker & oath after another 1 month.
Thanks for your reply. It seems I still need to wait for several months
More manpower, simple math. Try to drive on Rainbow Bridge and see the difference.
Anyone reschedule their Oath Ceremony due to being out of the country in February - 2022 and got their rescheduled Oath Ceremony date/invitation????
I keep getting e-mail they will reschedule me at a future date and I have read it usually takes 6-9 months atleast as they put you in low priority.

Hello, how much time does it take to receive the citizenship certificate after the oath ceremony?
I never would've rescheduled in the first place knowing how unreasonable and unreliable the IRCC processing times are. It's a game of "you snooze, you lose." Now you wait endlessly as they dig your file out from the bottom of the pile where it's buried while you were unavailable. Knowing you almost had your freedom from the initial wait, is going to hurt much more than this new wait which I gathered is since February. However, if whatever made you reschedule in the first place is well worth it, then it makes this new wait... worthy too.
Sorry, just be patient. They'll get to it eventually.
Thank you for sharing the email address of Mississauga office. I used this address to send email to them on May 9th. As my application was sent in August 2019, I mentioned in the email about the longer processing time of my case and request if they can speed up. Several days ago, when I checked the online tool, I found that all the items turned to completed except oath on May 10th. Then I also found on eCAS, the status is now "Decision Made".
I'm not sure if my email causes this movement, anyway, it moved.
Just want your suggestion that if I should send another email to Mississauga offie again to request oath ceremony? or just wait?
Thanks in advance. Hope we can reach the end soon after the long journey.

No harm in following up for oath after few days. Although I think they are prioritizing 2019-20 applicants.
