Southwestern Ontario, no tests or Oaths, WHY?

Ok here's my RANT about the fact that NOBODY from the Southwestern part of Ontario has been invited to take the knowledge test or Oath invite. I have been told by my local MPP'S office that they get a list of all Citizenship applicants who have taken the Oath of Citizenship are in their riding. When asked I was informed that Nobody has been made a Citizen in over a year. This is simply Crazy that an area the size and location of Windsor ( board of Canada and the United States and a major land crossing for truckers importing products to Canada) up to Sarnia and over as far east as London Ontario has been ignored by IRCC officials for Citizenship and Immigration. Now I am not saying that London Ontario has NOT been invited for tests, but I have checked the spreadsheet to see if anyone has taken the Oath and noticed that nobody from this forum has been invited the Oath.
Ok Rant over, nothing can be done and we are to do nothing but sit and wait, and wait, and wait for who knows how long, while others who applied after us are going forward in the process.

I could find only one recent entry from south-western Ontario in the tracker. IMO, there might be others (a lot of people don't update their statuses).

This frustration is shared by many but unfortunately, the processing times at the LVOs differ.

Hopefully, you get your test invite soon.

All the best.

The only problem with the information you provided is that it is not in the areas I mentioned. But that is Great news for those who are waiting in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. Those areas have seen little movement.

I'm from Waterloo region, I applied for me and my family in May 2019, in process in Sep. 2019, and nothing more since then,
I have to accept the new reality that I’m living in something like a prison, That’s because moving to CANADA was my decision in the first place, and I hope to learn from this mistake in the future

Mustafa100. I have been a permanent resident in Canada since October of 2000. I figured it was time to get my Canadian Citizenship after 20 years. I guess it's going to be a while for mine but I guess I've waited this long it's not going to kill me, but it sure would be nice to get a passport in Canada since my other one has expired.

Well, you said south western Ontario and I read Kitchener :p . Anyway, there is also a FB group by the name 'Canadian Citizenship Test' (can't post link here). You might want to check that group because applicants are extremely active and there are a lot of updates going on there.

Wish you a speedy application.

Good luck.
