Hi guys,
I don't see any reason to stress, because in the sheet that is available for us I don't see anybody getting their oath letter from (September, October, November, December 2021 Applicants) except one (unique) case from September 2021. There are only 3 applicants getting their oath letter because they applied as minors or as urgent processing.
Even on the applicants list from July and August 2021. I don't really see a significant number of cases receiving the oath letter.
I can tell that the closest month from the past with a huge number of applicants receiving their oath letter is June 2021. So logically peoples from the following months July and August 2021 should receive their oath letters after.
So this is a short conclusion for people from November 2021 who spend their test and are waiting for an oath.
For peoples from November 2021 who haven't receive their Test Invite letter yet, you are still guys in a reasonable waiting time in my opinion, It has been 7 months we sent our applications and in general that's nothing in comparison to many cases that I heard of, many applicants had to wait for over 2 years to become canadian citizens especially those who applied during 2019 and 2020 and it's clearly shown on the sheets of these 2 years.
I think the only thing we can do for our mental health is to avoid calling these guys and let them do their work except in an extreme scenario where it's mandatory to call. The long delays is something familiar for IRCC even before the pandemic and of course it became worse since march 2020 but I can say that in the last 3-4 months they are working faster than before, form example the AOR for online applicants went from 3 months in average (for us) to 2-3 weeks for nowadays applicants, I also see a huge number of peoples who received their test invite in the last 3 weeks.
Last thing, the delays are also based on the nature of each application, how long the applicant stayed outside Canada (Background check). If the applicant shares the same first and last name with many individuals in the country. If the applicant immigrated from specific countries requiring further background check. It's also based on which office is treating the application, some are faster some are slower and it's also based on hundred of reasons that we don't know.
