My friend (Scarborough office) got DM less than a couple of weeks after test...we actually live within 20 minutes of walking distance, somehow my file ended up in Mississauga... must have been picked up by the wrong truck

It's not a wrong truck. From what I observed, there are two reasons a file gets transferred; 1. Help in offloading. 2. Files that require more experienced examination are sent to Mississauga because it appears they have the most expertise than any other office. The last one I read from IRCC operational manuals.

I have no idea how my would need any extra experience to process - not from any “sensitive” countries , full-time employment with only one job change, only changed address once, single, over 1500+ days... must be one of those most boring applications that would take a lot of energy to find something wrong with it - but I do recognize it’s not just me, most people assigned to Mississauga office are not really seeing any movement

And that friend doesn’t even live in Canada anymore- moved to another country about 5 months ago before IP

The processing is extremely random. There seems to be no clear rationale behind the processing pattern. Currently, its absolutely miserable situation for Mississauga Applicants. Lets hope things change for better.
 
Mine is in IP since March 2nd. Hope for the best
 
Does anyone know if CIC needs to know of marital status change after citizenship application has been sent out? Assuming the marriage happened after the application was sent.

Hi everyone. Its my first time on this thread.
I wrote the citizenship test on 2nd of dec 2017 at the Mississauga office and have not received any oath taking mail till now. I called in to customer service in feb 2018 and they told me i missed the ceremony which was on the 22nd of Jan. I told them i did not get any mail inviting me to ceremony. No emails, no hard copy mails. They told me to write a letter explaining. After 3 weeks they told me the oath taking invite letter was returned to their office because Canada post did not deliver it. Now they told me to wait for another letter and i have been waiting for over a month now.

I need to travel out of Canada by next month and my pr card expired in march. I do not want to travel without a travel document and apply from outside canada. I want to renew my pr card but it takes 3 months and i do not have the time.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any kind of advice will be appreciated.

What about ECAS status?
Did they update your OLD oath Date on ECAS
 
Do you know where your application is being processed ?
No...we sent it to the central location in Sydney, NS. I assumed it would be processed in Mississauga since we live here since the beginning. IP since 9th Jan.
 
Anybody planning on renewing PR card? Mine will expire in about 9-10 months, given the speed in Mississauga office , I am not sure I will get my passport before that ...
our PR expiring in July. Applied for renewal in Feb. Online status says decision made. Still not received
