October 2019 - Citizenship Applicants
- Thread starter callixtus
- Start date
After 2 years still nope. It pissed me off when I see people getting it under a year.
Something is weird with the trackers...
If you look at 2020 and 2021 applicants, no one has an oath ceremony scheduled beyond 2 weeks from now. Like, seriously... no one. How come?
I understand some applicants are invited weeks in advance and others are only given a few days notice. But I find it super weird. Maybe there a some changes coming. Maybe the self-administered oath thing they mentioned in January?
I know that the trackers 100% depend on people self reporting their application status and admins updating the spreadsheets... But it is still super strange that not a single applicant has ceremonies scheduled beyond the 26th of April.

Many records are not updated nowadays. Some update in some threads and some dont have access etc.
I have oath date on 2nd May which i know on 31st March.
thanks! good to know
I was starting to feel worried that something was happening.
It frustrates so much how seemingly random oath invitations are (some people get invite within dates and for others it takes months). I cant seem to figure out the main factors influencing this.
(Congrats on your oath, by the way

Thanks. Seems like DM and oath are happening for many in the last few days especially for 2 year old applications. So hopefully they clear the older files this summer. Good luck.thanks! good to know

I think that after DM, our files moving to some centralized location for oath hence moving quick for oath after dm. Hopefully you too get oath notification this month.
The website is down. Not expecting it to be up atleast until the IRCC workhours start
The frustration continues to mount. Received this from my MP's offer two days ago:
"Hi,
Thank you for your patience. I’m afraid as this is the last step, really all there is to do is wait. I understand this is certainly not an ideal answer, however, there is nothing else we are able to do on our end.
Thank you for understanding.
Best,"
Has anyone from this group gone to the media yet and if not, should we make a group and go to the media? Previously people who went to the media had their files expedited..

Yes, unfortunately, I also got a similar response when my MP's team called IRCC a few weeks ago. May I ask if your MP is Liberal? (I get the feeling that Liberal MPs have less incentive to get into a fight with the current administration).
I tried contacting the media. Many stories have been published over the past year and a half, and many news outlets seem to have grown tired of it. I tried the CBC, CTV news in Montreal and in Vancouver as well. I has very close to getting an interview with Radio Canada in Vancouver, but the interview got called off because the team got called to deal with another story. After that, it all fell apart, unfortunately.
I dont know what our chances are to get their attention again, but yeah, maybe as a group we might have more traction.
How you reached MP office, in person or by phone call or email?
What is the step to reach MP for such help and support?
You can send an email directly to the MP that appears on the House of Common website (just google your MP's name). Explain your situation in detail and someone from their team will reply and ask you to sign a consent form and they will contact IRCC on your behalf (there is a special client support line for them).
But dont get your hopes up... they rarely get more info than what is already online. It is just a matter of pursuing every possible alternative.
Hope this helps!
