Hi fellas,
I need some clarification regarding the interview request that I received for later this month. The email states that it’s to confirm my physical presence and requested to send colour copies of my current and expired passport ( during the 5 years eligibility) period. Now here is the confusion for me. When I submitted my application, the physical calculator displayed 1807 days and I’ve already submitted my current passport photo copy when I submitted my application. The current passport to me was issued in 2016 and will expire in 2026 and I don’t have any travel stamps on it because I didn’t go outside of Canada for the past 9 years.
the expired passport ( which I didn’t provide the photo copy to IRCC) was valid from 2011 to 2016, so my confusion is, do I still have to provide the photocopy of my expired passport even though, it was expired way before my physical presence eligibility started?
The IRCC system calculated my physical presence from 2019 to 2024.
Any input will be appreciated!!!

Since the email states it is to confirm physical presence, I think there is no need to submit copies or anything else of passports from before the physical presence period. (And I think you should not submit anything from before, will only confuse or delay further).

True, I have never call them before. I guess you just need to follow the voice command.
since Monday is family then we should have an update today or Tuesday morning

No email yet for the oath ceremony. Last update was on February 6th in the Tracker with Oath scheduled for February 28th. The whole system is weird with some people receiving the email first followed by an update on the tracker versus some receiving both updates at the same time versus some just receiving the oath update in the tracker with no email.

I called IRCC call center they just keep saying wait for the email to be sent with no guidance on when email will be sent. The whole system seems overly complicated to me.

Why not just send the email at the same time as updating the tracker for the oath ceremony.

How many people are on the same boat as me where you are waiting for the oath ceremony email?

When I called IRCC in 1st week of Feb, they said my oath ceremony is scheduled on 24th feb and I should receive the email in 1 week. Didn't receive anything. then I called again yesterday and person said I'll inform the officer right away to send you the email. I got official email in 1 hour after.

The only criterion left is *Language skills*
I wonder how long it will take for IRCC to validate that criterion!!!

How long does it take to receive the Oath Invitation once everything is listed as completed? And what’s the average window time between Oath Invitation and the Ceremony itself??

Hi there, looks like they are doing some quality assurance and making sure you meeting the physical presence because you applied with 1099 which is close to the 1095 minimum. This is one of the reasons I made sure to have well over the 1095 minimum days. I wanted to avoid any additional scrutiny.

I have more than 100 exit and entry records and I suppose it wouldn’t make a difference if I wait a month of two to apply, they would still want to audit it or regardless. I’d share how the interview go!
