this is what I wrote exactly.

Hi,

I would like to check when we can expect an Oath Ceremony invitation.
Everything other than Oath has been completed and Oath is at "Not started".

Thank you for taking the time to respond to the email.


What I have seen is they only responds on Friday.

Just checked the tracker and see below update for all 3 family members. No email or anything so far so dont know if it's virtual/in person.

Update is dated March 29th but showed up today.

Take the Oath of Citizenship
Citizenship ceremony
Waiting on you
You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on

@admin : Please update the tracker.

I did send an email to Ottawa office(on March 8th) asking for Oath updates and got standard reply to wait for 12 weeks.

you should send email to above email address. Looks like all those who sent got invited so no harm in sending email.

I feel I got a standard response. "high volume of ceremonies to administer", "Notice to appear within 12 weeks", "you are in queue"
Already completed 8 weeks at LPP completed, so 4 more to go.

I'm curious to see what will happen to the self administering oath regulation. More details should be out by next wednesday (04/12).

You are almost there @forw.jane.

This is the standard reply we all got sadly. I think @88civic got latest reply with 8 weeks info since he had received earlier message of 12 weeks.

Not sure but I think giving them a nudge is the only thing that is going to help here. My update was ~3 weeks after I got the reply(email sent on March 7th and updated Oath on March 31st).

Hi Gus, May 2022 application, decision made and LPP in November last year, sent email end of February, got an answer start of March asking to wait for 12 weeks. When I take a look at next ceremonies they're all in Mississauga, I really wanted to get to a ceremony in person but unfortunately it looks like it will be mostly a link to click. Hopefully i'm wrong !!
