Just got my final updates, eh!
My citizenship ceremony is booked for February 3, 2025.

Thanks for all the support, and to everyone still waiting on your applications — may your maple syrup be sweet and your paperwork be never-ending. Keep your toque on, you’ll get there!
Do you mind sharing us your timeline?

Im a few days after you, same situation, waiting for oath for 1.5 months at least
Called IRCC last week but it was pointless. I lost a few hours of my life, got 0 information in exchange, other than the obvious things which are written front of me in my tracker, that it's "in progress" and after this I was humming the songs they're playing while you're waiting in line all day long.
But it was surprising that I could reach someone from the Olympus.

Interesting, last time I called I was done within 30 mins.

I know they don't have much more info past the tracker - but it does suck you've been waiting so long for the oath now.

Maybe try calling again in a few days just to see if a different agent knows/has slightly more access to view than the previous.

Good to know not always takes that long to reach them.

Yeah, I'll give a try this week as well.

Waiting for everything sucks but waiting for oath is even worse because basically you're right before the finish line but then nothing. :D

If anyone being processed at Scarborough office gets an oath invite, please update here. Been waiting for over a month now since test was completed. I know it's standard processing time but I need to travel mid Feb..I am worried about having to delay my oath now. My trip is only 1 week long but I can't count on my luck not being bad lol.

Hey, my application is with the Scarborough office and got an invitation today for the oath. Hope that helps!

Generally I'd agree with this statement but CSC was quite helpful with the citizenship application, might I add with minimal amount of attempts and wait time to speak with someone. Early November, I got a ghost update that was for security clearance and the following day the test schedule. After test, my application was sitting stale with no updates waiting for criminality clearance to happen so my background check can be completed. Towards the end of November, a CSC agent sent a correspondence to the processing office to see if they needed my fingerprints. Sure enough in a couple of weeks, got a fingerprint request and after that the application was wrapped up pretty quickly. I suggest talking with them again and perhaps send a webform too? Good luck!!

Of course, what I mentioned was my experience. In my case it wasn't helpful at all, just stating the obvious what I already knew. But it's great that it helped you and I'm sure it's different with each agent. I'll give it another go.
