Hello Guys,

where can I find the spreadsheet? More over my new tracker shows all segments completed apart from oath ceremony. My question, how long does it take to get the oath ceremony invite after the update?
my timeline
Processing office: Mississauga, ON
Application received: Oct 25/2019
AOR: Jan 25/2020
Background: Feb 14/2020
Test: March 15/2021
Test completed : March 18/2021
Prohibition/language/Physical presence completed : July 16/2021
I've attached the spreadsheet in my signature. I did my test in early March and am still waiting Prohibition/language/Physical presence to be completed.

Hi Guys,

I have a question - I have to travel out of the country in the next couple of months. In the event I receive the oath date and I'm not in the country on the oath date - if there a way I can reschedule it?

(Bit of history - App sent Oct 2019 - Process started Jan 3rd 2020 - Test email received on Feb 8th 2021 - I had given my test on Feb 22nd 2021 and have received no further update. Tracker shows only BG completed but rest still in process. Last updated on 23rd Apr 2021. So I'm currently in limbo.)

I believe you can inform IRCC to reschedule.

Follow the instructions on the IRCC website :

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/citizenship.html#tests-interviews

You need to be in Canada to take the Oath of Citizenship. If you get your invitation while you’re outside Canada, reply to the invitation email to explain your situation in detail.

In your email

  • put “Outside Canada – Oath of Citizenship” in the subject line
  • In the body of your message, include
    • your full name
    • your application number
    • a detailed explanation of your situation
We’ll contact you with your next steps after we receive your email.
Once you send that email, IRCC will respond with further instructions. Follow them. At the end of the day, you should be able to re-schedule if you aren't able to attend oath ceremony.

You should assume you can't take oath outside Canada and follow the instructions on the IRCC website if you can't come back to Canada to take the oath.

Just make sure you can get back to Canada while your PR card is still active.

You need to be in Canada to take the Oath of Citizenship. If you get your invitation while you’re outside Canada, reply to the invitation email to explain your situation in detail.

In your email

  • put “Outside Canada – Oath of Citizenship” in the subject line

    • your application number
    • a detailed explanation of your situation
We’ll contact you with your next steps after we receive your email.
If your Language, Physical Presence and Prohibitions are set to "Completed" (you'll see "Decision Made" on ECAS ), you will most likely not receive an interview or any document request after this.

Thank you!

I even called IRCC to let them know that I haven't received any notification and it has been 5 months since I have the test. Tracker also not updated.
The agent put me on hold for few minutes to check with someone, but came back to say everything is fine and this application doesn't need to be looked at, it has been assigned to an agent and will be completed in due time.

Any thoughts? Is this normal?

Most agents are useless/cant do anything much fruitfully. They are just there for namesake.
Very few agents help by sending message to local office about the pending file. Few agents know little deeper or able to help.

Submit webform and see if anything changes.

You will never see "Decision Made" on the new dashboard. Check ECAS
