Last Tuesday my family took oath as the citizens of Canada. I myself became a Canadian in September of 2015.

My journey started as a PR aspirant living in USA, way back in 2009 November. We became permanent residents of Canada in April 2012 and now all of us are citizens!

This forum had been very helpful all through this long process. Reading the experiences from many members of this forum kept my spirits up. Many members helped me answering my questions and sharing my frustration (particularly while waiting for my passport from LA Visa office). Want to thank all of you and wish you all the very best.

Here is my timeline,

I had my OATH today, went great.
On the pink invitation paper it said to be there for 1:00PM but we were all in the room around 1:40 and by 2:20 we were out. You can stay longer to take pictures if you want.

Overall it was a great and fast experience :) Good luck everyone.

Dear All,

I guess not many people will check their ecas status after taking the Oath,
if anybody checked, would you please let me know how long it took
the status to be changed from 'DM' to 'Complete' or from 'in process'
to 'Complete'.

Thank you, appreciate it.

Have a nice long weekend!
