There is currently a Bill that is pending final approval in the Senate to change the Oath of Citizenship to:

“I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada including Treaties with Indigenous Peoples, and fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen.”

Could this be the reason for the delayed oath ceremonies?

I personally don't believe this is the reason for delayed oath ceremonies. If this receives royal ascent, IRCC will update the website and send out a slightly different version of the oath text to the ceremony clerks - none of this suggests the significant backlog and bottleneck for oath ceremonies that has been present for a few months now.

Hi all, I received an email about the new citizenship tracker. It says in the email that my application (which I submitted in September 2020) was created in their system in December 2020 and that it is currently in progress.

I never received an AOR yet, so I can't create an account to track the progress of my application. I am kinda worried. Anyone else in the same boat?

Call IRCC on Monday morning 8 AM local time and ask them nicely for your application number. They'll give it to you. Have your UCI handy (and other personal details).

Also, I don't see you on the spreadsheet.

Could you please provide your information in the following format so that I can add you to the spreadsheet?

Location:
App Type: Single / Family (# of applicants)
Physical Presence Days:
App Sent:
App Delivered:
AOR: <You can ignore this>
In-Progress:
Test Email:
Test Date:

Also, from the new status dashboard, can you please provide the dates of the following :

Background Check "Completed" date

Once you get the application number from IRCC, you can register on the 'new status dashboard' mentioned above and provide the status.

All the best!
 
Hi
I opened my ECAS today and found decision made.in the details no update since they started processing the application.
I open my status tracker and also no update since April. What does this mean and why no any update. How do I know the decision??

Holy crap, that's fantastic! Congrats! That was quick!!!!

"Decision Made" after the test means that the application is approved! Congrats!
