Self-administered oath

[LazyLinh]

in Jan 31st 2022, IRCC said "Moving forward, we are exploring an option for those who wish to self-administer their Oath by signed attestation, and celebrate their citizenship at a later date. This would shorten the waiting time for those at the final stage of their citizenship process."

Typically how long does it take for IRCC to roll out new features like this? Can we expect this to become available anytime soon?

I'd have thought some debates in parliament etc and to push it through it needed a vote or something

I think that was when they were still trying to get people to believe in the 12-month standard. They have now given up on that and are giving honest figures, like 27 months. People seem to have accepted the switch, so the pressure is off.

I am 24 months in and still waiting for my oath. Something like this seems like an excellent idea to cut through the back log....
