November - 2019 Citizenship Applications

[canvisa13]

An agent told an applicant once during the registration for the oath ceremony they do 2 ceremonies a day 5 or 6 days a week (I forget which), but I assume these numbers are for all of Canada, and not just one office. Let's say they host 100 applicants each ceremony and do the ceremonies twice a day and 6 days a week. This will be 100*2*6 = 1200 applications a week. This is very slow to clear the oath backlog. It will take them 17 weeks if they allocate all seats to Quebec applicants, which means in reality these 20K applicants will have to wait significantly more than 4 months for their oath, because other offices schedule their applicants for the oath as well. They need to make the percentages of each office's share in the oath proportional to the backlog size. For example, if the total applications waiting for the oath is 40K in all of Canada, and Quebec has 20K applications waiting for the oath, half of each oath participants should be from Quebec. If they don't do this or scale oath ceremonies capacity, I can just imagine a much worse situation in few months.

do they assign the oath dates in the order of Decision Made date? (or) is it also random?

I had DM since mid August and still waiting for the oath. Someone else got DM beginning of Nov, and already scheduled for the oath, and they applied 13 months after me. Random it is the affairs of IRCC. There is no fairness and order in IRCC. It's chaotic and shameful.

Check your New Ecas. Usually they will update a status like 'Scheduled to attended on ... ' the green/blue timeline, apart from general status update. This indicates that they have indeed planned you. Usually this happens 7 to 10 days before actual oath date.

Not sure if this was talked about previously, most likely, but is the IRCC working overtime (as in, on weekends), now that they have this enormous backlog?

 

[ronwahd]

Does anybody know in which case IRCC asks for passport copies? I see many people have been asked for that. I am waiting for DM. I am worried if they ask for passport copies. it delays another couple of months.
