Hi all,
I have a question regarding traveling out of the country for about a month. I have completed the test and now waiting for Language skills, Physical presence, and Prohibitions to be cleared. No oath has been scheduled for now. Do I need to update IRCC about my travel plans? If I need to then how should I do so? Anyone, please let me know.
Thanks

Even if you update them, they will take about two to three months to read your notice for them. I have many friend got the ceremoney invitation a week or two after they flew outside Canada. One of them got it with very short notice (6 days) and it was two days before she was supposed to fly back. She had to pay 3000 $ to change her flight and had her ceremoney in the connection airport.

It's so bad to be waiting with no specific time frame. I want to fly too but I can't plan it until I hear back from IRCC

Hi everyone,
Is there certain information people are selecting to get into the Ecas system? I usually check my updates on the usual tracker- but despite all my attempts to check my file on Ecas- it always returns that they are unable to verify me. Just wondered if there is certain details folks are entering.

Also- all my statuses changed to completed on Jul 27 and I had a ghost update on Aug 5 however no oath activity yet. Application on tracker still says ‘in progress’
TIA

Hello,

Can I know what is processing office is? I applied from Halifax NS but my home address is from Saint John NB.

There are two offices where citizenship application is being processed.

1) Primary Office : Primary Office is always Sydney, Nova Scotia, where all the citizenship applications are submitted.

2) Secondary Office : Once the AOR is generated and sent to the applicants, the application is forwarded to the Secondary Office, Based on the theories from the forum, the secondary office is responsible for holding test and oath ceremonies. Earlier, the Secondary Office was determined on the basis of the location of the applicant (in other words the place where the applicant is residing) as it would be easy for the applicant to visit the centre for the test or the venue for oath ceremony because both the test and oath were in person. Now keeping in mind the different backlog scenarios in different offices, the applications can be forwarded to any processing office (anywhere in Canada) which has a relatively handled backlog situation, irrespective of the location of the applicant, mainly because nowadays citizenship tests and oath ceremonies are held online rather than in person.

Someone shared in the forum, in July 2022 Citizenship Application Thread, that the Primary Office (Sydney, Nova Scotia) checks whether the application is complete or not. Even after forwarding the application to the Secondary Office, the Primary Office handles the elements of Prohibitions, Language, Physical Presence and Background Check.
