:eek:
Could anyone share the waiting time from citizenship knowledge test to taking oath?

I know it is very close to final success, but still need to wait, there is also chance to receive RQ or more documents request.

I heard it will be around two to four months.

took the test on Nov 13th, wondering if I can get my passport before Mid Feb?

I took my test back on February 21st, and took the oath on May 27th. I wanna say about 3 months total. But a coworker of mine got his oath within 2 months. I don't know what dictates the waiting times.

My wife also took the exam on November 13th. Haven't heard anything back yet. I'm thinking we should get the letter early January maybe and the oath might be end of January. But then again, there is Christmas break in between and might delay it by a couple of weeks.

The good news for you is, that you can apply for passport a day or two after the oath and receive your passport within a couple of days with the urgent application.

UPDATES for my case:

Applied June 13th, 2013
Processed Oct, 2013
Test Nov 13, 2014
Oath Jan 13, 2014

I forgot to check the mailbox these days, when I opened it today, I found that the oath invitation was there already. Exact two months after the exam, I will become citizen.

I have another question about the invitation letter, there is a page "permission release and consent", should I sign it and mail it back to CIC immediately?

I took my test on Oct 24th (attended for interview anyway as I am over 55) and still have not been invited to an oath ceremony. I see a lot of people who passed the test in November have been invited to or already attended an oath ceremony. Is there anyone else still waiting for ceremony who took the test in October or November.
