I sent my finger prints with my application when I initially submitted it (heard from a friend that they will ask for it later).


so far:
  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on November 1, 2017.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 20, 2017.
  3. We started processing your application on January 12, 2018.
  4. We sent you a notice on June 7, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on July 4, 2018 at 11:45 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.

I took my test in Scarborough and passed. The lady said I should be contacted soon for oath.

My status says "Decision Made".


Anyone else waiting for an Oath Date ?

There seem to be a lot of us waiting for Scarborough. My husband had his interview on May 8 and DM May 9. The officer also told him that he would receive his oath invitation "soon". Nothing since then. Patience seems to be the key here.

We are in the same boat: Applied on November. On April completed the FP. After that, no news. Still waiting for the write test invitation.

Yours is virtually the same timeline as my own (11/20th; 01/15th; 02/20th), and I know for a fact that mine's held-up in the queue at CSIS, awaiting their security assessment/advice opinion.

So you're likely in the same boat as me. CSIS will likely have prioritised PRs' background checks for citizenship as less urgent/important than other people's (e.g., irregular-entrants / refugee claimants).
