Yup, this is the interview.

Generally, they ask you to show all the pages of your passport but it is prudent to have the originals of all the documents that you submitted with your citizenship application handy, just in case.

Didn’t they call you first?
Also, have you received another document with the documents they want from you for the interview? There is a document for that, too.
for me, it was only the passport (and certified translation in case you have stamps that are not in English or French). But I believe they can request any document that you sent with your application. Have them handy for the interview.

Yes, this is identical to the consent form I got. Finished my oath last month. (Am also actually an October 2019 applicant.)

Was this the only attachment you got? The list of documents and interview instructions were in a separate attachment in the same email for me, requesting to email back passport scans.

I would suggest asking if there are any required documents, and saying that you didn't get any instructions for them, when you reply back ith the consent.

I never got a call prior, the email was the only invite to the interview.

Interview doesn’t mean oath is coming. Mine was on April 7th. No sign of oath so far.
But could it be the oath invite? I don’t know how it looks like. Is the consent form the same?

No, there's no consent form for the oath.

I thought all the recent interview cancellations meant they were moving away from Microsoft Teams for the interview, but I guess not.

Hi All,

I got reply from IRCC today that they didn't get my FP result yet. I had given my 2nd FP on 18 May 2021.
I had sent mail to RCMP also requesting the status. They have not replied back yet.

How long does RCMP take ? Oh and i have no Criminal record history :D

Regards
Sheray
Have your fingerprints reached IRCC and uploaded to your online tracker status?

Oh boy! I don’t think they’ll bypass you. But I’m sure you will pass the test again! This whole oral test think may bring some anxiety, but think that, this time, there is no reason for them to reject your results. Good luck!
