Your patience is commendable! There are people on this forum who applied this year, have been receiving quick and regular updates but are still losing their minds that the process from application to oath ceremony took 6 months!!! And I'm like, dude some of us have been waiting more than that between EACH update!

Good luck to you and everyone waiting - hope our oath invites come sooner rather than later.
bawling! got my oath invite!

Yes, we received our test invite from the Ottawa office.
Looks like Ottawa's "normal" is much slower than everyone else's. Most applications processed by Ottawa seem to go super super slowly. Many of us like myself got sent to Niagara Falls or other offices, but now I wonder if my file got sent back to Ottawa to rot away for oath scheduling, as it's not normal in any except the slowest offices to be waiting nearly 2 months after DM with no signs of oath.

I can imagine how frustrating that must be - to be stuck for months at the last leg of the process! Hope you get your oath invite soon - good luck!

I wish there was a system check on this process. I had my test done on 7th Feb, my tracker is showing the last update on 26th July, still physical presence and prohibitions are in process. I applied in Nov 2019 with 2 kids.

You are right about Ottawa office though. They are the slowest in Canada. The thread has some horror stories involving an officer with the initials JT who forced people to wait for months just to get their citizenship certificates. This is the reason why I moved to GTA from Ottawa, as I wanted to move my application away from Ottawa office. However, I don't think they will be doing back and forth with the files between offices as they are queued for processing unless there is a specific request or circumstance.

I can only imagine how frustrating this would be for you, especially when more recent applicants seem to have completed all the steps.

Hang in there! Your turn will be here soon too!
