Ottawa Applications
- Thread starter lostincic
- Start date
Seriously, there is no prediction with Ottawa office. There's a member that reported finishing his oath and he was a April 2020 applicant, so that's that. While people from October 2019 are still waiting.
Sept 2019 - App submitted
Dec 2019 - AOR
March 2020 - test cancelled
March 2021 - test invite
May 2021 - Oath
By stages I mean each step in the process. My application was on hold for a year between test invites. Other than that, it seemed to be moving every 2-3 months.
OK. Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps I can surmise that if my file hit the Ottawa office in May 2021 - I might get a test invite in August? (3 months) - probably not though.....!
I still don't understand how a file that was deemed complete in Nova Scotia in September 2020, only arrived at the Ottawa office at the end of May 2021. Even if they put it on a donkey it would have gotten there fast than that- surely. Hopefully it won't take another nine months for someone in Ottawa to pick it up and review it.....
At my wits end.

Hello , Can you please let me know the test invite , test completed , oath request and oath taken date ? I My test is marked as complete on Jul 12 , no updates after . I know it may be little early . But just curious .. My current passport expires on Aug 21 . So thinking if there is a chance to get oath invite by then . Thanks in advance
Nope, they park it in Nova Scotia until an officer is free to deal with it, the backlog is unreal in Ottawa and it's not helping that they are deliberately putting citizenships on hold.
I wonder what happened to the officer who was free when they transferred it in May......
Ottawa office is an outlier. They are busy with 2018-2019 applicants. Other offices are doing a mix of of all years 2018-2021. and may be this is because of the prioritization they are giving to the other types immigration files.
Based on current ottawa timeline from 2019 and 2020 spreadhseets you can expect mid next year to see some movement on your file. Until then your file will be either in-transit or in registry.
They didn't do any work in July. It's their vacation monthI wonder what happened to the officer who was free when they transferred it in May......
I am really hoping that you are joking. Mid NEXT year? You can't actually be serious........
My status got updated to "Completed" after waiting two months post oath ceremony.
I'm September 19 applicant and I know someone who applied in December 20 and got AOR in April. Who knows how long they will wait to get something for them.
I don't want to disappoint you but that is the reality, if you check the spreadsheet records for Ottawa and Gatinue office, you can see it for yourself, there is limited movement.
From the recent ATIP documents it showed that applicants are categorized into three, streamlined low risk , routine and non-routine. So If you are from the first category, this could be earlier than the rest.
