Hi All, just received an Email from IRCC stating that my Citizenship Ceremony will be on 15th Dec @ 13:30 pm

** Interestingly on the Tracker under 'Oath' it still says - 'Not Started'.

My passport arrived today after I submitted my application at a service Canada office on August 29th.

Good luck to the rest of you completing your journey

Both of you have gone silent on this thread. Have you had any progress at all? Nothing on my end, I'm afraid...

I saw two October applicants get test invites in October. No test invites at all in the whole of November... I think we have been forgotten

I honestly don't mind a 2 or even 3 year wait from application to oath, but considering I have had zero progress, I am starting to fear that the overall timeline may cross 3 years, which puts me (a US resident) in danger of giving up on my Canadian citizenship altogether...

Unfortunately nothing since then. After fingerprints received no update. I called and the gentleman told me it looks criminality and security completed. It's like the officer totally forgot my case

You need to have your citizenship certificate in order to apply for the passport. That can take a few weeks to be mailed out after the oath

Hi Everyone, so today my passport office received my paperwork together with Canadian citizenship certificate for my passport application. I reside in Ontario so as per the form I mailed out to Gatineau, QC, K1A 0G3. I submitted all the documents via Canada Post. On their website says documents received by Ottawa. I feel the documents should be submitted at Gatineau instead of Ottawa. When I called Canada Post the guy over the phone couldn't give me any answer. Any idea if Canada Post did anything wrong?

Finally received the oath ceremony invite for Dec-19 1:30pm EST to be held on Zoom. (SCR office)
Moderators - Could you please update the tracker.
I didnt get a chance to read the invite letter completely, can someone let me know if any document(other than PR card) that I need to be ready with or any print outs?

Finally received my GCMS notes. Requested them in early July, received five months later. And the copy I received is dated mid-July... So, a useless outdated document overall.
