Vancouver applicants: let's post updates

[jonka5]

Looks like the Vancouver office has completely shut down operations (at least based on updates on this forum). Losing all hope at this point.

Let's post any/all updates to help one another to get through this nightmare together.

Where did you get this information?

There has been a huge wave of test invitations in late Aug and some folks have received their DMs recently (last one I see in Sept 9):

Wait may feel unbearable, but the finish line is near, don't despair

Got invitation to oath ceremony in October last week. So it's not completely shut down.

There's another Vancouver office thread here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...-citizenship-test-invite-masterthread.721269/

After a couple of online complaint forms to IRCC and a handwritten letter to the Vancouver office asking how their oath "queue" actually works my wife is finally invited to take the oath on October 8th. We had contacted a lawyer to start the mandamus process but will not need to continue with that at this point.

So, is it about 2 months in Vancouver's office between DM and Oath invite?
I wonder if I reach 3 years in total, if reach March-22 ))

Nobody knows. I’ve been waiting almost 3 months since DM and it’s been radio silence.

For my wife, DM -> Oath will have been about 3 months.
