September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

It can sometimes take longer, nobody knows why, someone had to wait a whole month plus a few days for it show up as completed.
Do you remember if you took a clear photo of your ID with the basic data legible and not blurred? I had to retake the photo for almost 30 mins to get it right and my session expired one had to login again.
Well that is actually the reason I am concerned about it. The photo I took from my ID didn't have a good quality since my Webcam was old. I did my best but it still didn't take a good photo from my ID no matter what. So that's why I am afraid there is something wrong with the photo I took from my ID and that is the reason it hasn't been changed to Completed so far
. I also don't know what will be happening if they don't accept the photo I took from my ID? Will it be another exam again?I read in a news article that someone was asked to re-do the test due to technical issues during the test, not sure if bad webcam quality or internet attributed to this. If they are not convinced with the quality of the image they will contact you with the next steps. Worse case scenario might be a re-test but lets hope it doesn’t come to that.Well that is actually the reason I am concerned about it.

Congrats, depends on so many factors like the office processing your file, availability of dates and slots etc., could be 3-5 months or within 3 weeks. Nobody knows or can estimate this, the sample data on the spreadsheet is only a small representation of the overall # of applicants across Canada
Congrats. I have updated the spreadsheet.
The current average is 60 days to oath, but it could be anything from 3 weeks to 3 months or more. At least DM mean the main headache is over, and you don't have to worry about the grant process anymore...
Congratulations on your DM!
The waiting for the Oath varies a lot. My office is Montreal and next week it will be 6 months for me after DM. Still waiting..
Careful with expectations..

Ok. I think the VPN or Webcam monitoring issue I mentioned may have an affect after all.
My wife gave the test the next day (Dec 18th) after me and passed. I had ofcourse disabled VPN for her test.
Now, her status is shown as COMPLETED on the tracker (Dec 20th), while mine isn't.
OH JFC that's ridiculous. There's literally nothing left to do, what the hell is the holdup?!Congratulations on your DM!

Very sorry to hear of your troubles, I hope it resolves quickly.
I was expecting delays due to the pandemic, but after I got DM I was hopeful that I would not wait much longer. I was wrong.
I hope yours doesn't take this long, a lot of people here get it sooner, but just be careful with expectations and plans.
