November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[fafa1004]

Hi everyone! my portal items all show completed now after a long wait, except for the citizenship ceremony, which is in progress. I noticed this almost 2 weeks ago, and although I see a ceremony date on the portal for next week, I still haven’t received the email with details / time / URL.

does anyone know when one usually receives that? I’m wondering if I should contact them now, or wait only until 2-3 days before the date shown in the portal?

Hi,

I didn’t get email for my test invitation, I called and found out they did sent the email but somehow I never get it , probably there was a glitch and whatnot. Have you checked all spam&junk mail ?

Please don’t wait until 2-3 days before the date. Call sooner at least a week before, like FutureImmi said. It’s not an easy thing to talk with an agent. It took me 3 days to be able to talk with actual person ! I kept get answering machine that dragged me around and in the end ask me to check the website. If you end up need to call them, call them first thing in the morning when they open at 8 am (even then I still get the line “all of our agents are busy “ ) but based on my experience the probability to talk with an agent is higher in the morning.

All the best and please wish us (people who are still waiting) luck as well

Hi @fafa1004,

Can you please share their number

Hi @fafa1004,

Can you please share their number

It’s 1-888-242-2100 . Workday From 8 am to 4 pm , local time . Prepare to wait. I tried for days and for hours and I waited about 15-30 minutes when I was (finally!!!!) in the waiting line queue

Get your UCl ready ( it’s off the record but at one point I was just so tired to call over and over without success , so I randomly selected the option. I chose I don’t have my UCI even though my UCI is engraved in my memory at this point. And that particular call got me talk with an agent. My advice is : do what you gotta do to talk with an agent!)

All the best

Hi early applicants, if you would spend 5 minutes of your time to sign the petition to the Minister of IRC for providing reasons on the prolonged delay on 2019-2020 applicants it would be great. Last date is 4th June.

Feels like this group is dead. I'm still waiting for a DM and Oath. Anyone else?
