You are right . From another forum a user has reported receiving his oath date 3 months after the file was approved (according to ATIP reports). For the life of me I can't see the reason why applicants who have waited so long need to wait 3 months extra whereas newbies receive the oaths within two week of the test.

Hi Guys,

I did my monthly call to CIC, they told me that my RQ review is complete, now it is waiting for final decision?

Why don't you order a ATIP to know some details of your case! My ATIP shows my file assigned to a officer for review on jan 16 ,2015 which pretty close as you,also shows my applicant has been approved and granted ,file sent to cic Scarborough for ceremony. But iidon't know how long it willtake. Hope we can get oath letter soon.

You are pretty close to the final line. Give it 4 to 5 months for your oath. Once review is complete they will transfer your file back to your area office who will queue you for the oath.

Hi Guys,

I have been reading these posts for a while now so i am deciding to share my timeline:

We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on March 9, 2014.

We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on March 9, 2014. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

We started processing your application on April 16, 2014.

RQ received June and was responded to in June 2014

We sent you a notice on September 25, 2014 to appear and write the citizenship test on October 10, 2014 at 9:45 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.

Test passed: 100%

Oath Waiting

Additional Updates

*ATIP requested Jan 2014: No real update except that no hearing required
*ATIP requested Mar 2014: Still Pending
*Called CIC yesterday and was advised that my first was transferred to a supervisor (I'm assuming an CJ since I am short 43 days due to travelling for work) for final approval. Agent was very nice (first nice agent ever since I've been dealing with CIC for all these years) and said this is a good sign that they are not requesting additional information from me and that I should have everything by this summer if my case is approved.

Fingers crossed it will be soon :)

My application constantly bounced from Mississauga to st Clair to Scarborough. Good luck to all, who wait, just have patience and stay focused.
