When you do your ceremony do you have to sing the anthem in English and French? The website says they do the English/French version...?

I called IRCC again and agent was helpful, she stated please wait for our correspondence and application is in progress there are no issues or concerns.

Hopefully receive updates soon. Anyone else waiting before or on Oct 24 online application submitted.

Thanks

Submitted my FPs on July 15, and just called RCMP this morning, apparently my application was still not processed since they're dealing with a big volume right now...Hopefully they process mine soon and send the results to IIRC before the deadline (I believe is a month after they sent the FP request letter)...

2nd ghost update appeared today July 21. Nothing changed though, nor test invite!
So I called IRCC this morning and the agent told me that my background check has already started, criminality passed, however screening is still ongoing by assigned officer. What does that mean?

I called IRCC last week nd they told me the same thing. Criminality is passed and security check is in progress. The agent told that you will get updates when the officer gets to your file. I did receive a FP request on May 25 and nothing after that. AOR Dec 07.

Did you get the test update?

Anyone else waiting for test after Finger prints ?

No test update for me, and doesn’t seem to be forthcoming anytime soon.

Today is the day of my ceremony!
Congratulations and I hope all goes well!

I have not had my oath yet, so was hoping someone with experience would answer your question regarding the anthem.

From what I have read and heard, you will be asked to say the oath in both English and French. If you don't know the French words you are advised to silently move your lips to the French.

Same with the anthem.

You are reciting it as a group, so you should be fine...

I have the copy of English and French lyrics printed for the anthem... Same with the oath.

It's more my pronunciation I am concerned about... I think you'd get away with bad pronunciation in a real life setting better. But I feel that on video it will be more obvious

Hi guys, I just gave my test on July 22 and waiting for the tracker to update the same.

Just wondering, what are the next steps after giving the citizenship test?
Does everyone require to give fingerprints and I see few of them have gotten passport request for inner pages. Is this for everyone?

The next step should be an invite to take the oath.

Not everybody gets finger print requests, same with the passport request. I did not.

Yeah, just recite the French parts softly or silently (just lip syncing).
