Vancouver applicants - (C-6 10/11)

[srbhsoman]

Hey fellow Vancouverites!

I have good news! (chants: oath, oath, oath!)

My oath invitation has finally arrived today in a scroll carried by a very slow-flying pigeon (just kidding, it was by email).
After five weeks since Decision Made and a fair bit of desperation and despair, I am summoned to take the oath on June 22nd, 2018 at 8 am.

I cannot be more thrilled to finally become Canadian (and to be done with the endless waiting and uncertainties but that's beside the point).
I hope this is a sign that Vancouver office is picking up its rather sluggish pace during the last few weeks and is sending out more invites for you guys!

I will update you guys after the ceremony.

Here are the dates:

Oath Invite Received: 2018/05/25
Oath Ceremony: 2018/06/22

Please update and good luck!

Congrats!

Official invitation received by email on May 25th, exactly 3 weeks prior to June 15th.

EDIT TO ADD: June 15th date confirmed with CIC through email, will receive the official invite 3-4 weeks prior to event

I received an unusual email today.

Some background: IP since early Feb, applied with an address from a remote Vancouver island location (though I moved to Vancouver more recently)

To summarize, my email says IRCC will be delivering citizenship services on those locations and dates:

Victoria, BC: Fall 2018
 Nanaimo, BC: Fall 2018
 Kelowna, BC: Summer/Fall 2018
 Prince George, BC: Fall 2018
 Whitehorse, YK: Summer/Fall 2018


However, I am given the opportunity to pick a date and come to Surrey or Vancouver and do test/ceremony on the same day

Friday, June 15, 2018
 Friday, July 20, 2018
 Friday, August 17, 2018
 Friday, September 21, 2018

Those dates are for Van, I also got 4 similar dates for Surrey.

I have to email to pick a date (first come first serve), and will receive my invite 3 weeks prior.

Also, no guarantee to do the ceremony as that depends on the test+interview.

Hello all! So my ceremony was yesterday. There were 72 people from 27 nationalities. I shed few tears, that's for sure... 8 years, 4 months and 10 days since I got here as a worker, but who was counting? Work permit and visa renewals, backlog on PR process, changes on rules for citizenship... Now it's over and I am a proud Canadian. Monday first thing in the morning I will be applying for my passport.

Wishing the best of luck for those of you still awaiting for updates on your process. It is all worth!

Hi all,

I have been in progress since Feb 14th but still no test invite. Anyone in the same boat?

I thought of calling the call center, but it's hard to get through for one and not sure if it's worthwhile - I assume they will just say stuff that I already know.

Please share if anyone has Vancouver IRRC email address?

Thanks for sharing the info.

I guess for some reason, our processing is taking longer than others.

Wish good news will come for you and all those of us that are waiting...
