Vancouver Oath Timeline after Test/Interview

[karliiita]

Hi everyone!

Here is my timeline:
We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 14, 2015.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on October 29, 2015.
We started processing your application on November 4, 2015.
We sent you a notice on December 22, 2015 to appear and write the citizenship test on January 7, 2016 at 8:03 AM.

I am still waiting for my ceremony invitation. Anyone have similar timeline as me?

When should I be expecting it as I really need to get out of the country by 3rd week of May.

Please help me as I am freaking out!

THANKS A LOT!!

Any news on your application? There seems to be a lack of information on Vancouver's timeline from 2015 applicants. I don't know what to expect.

Hi everybody,

although we live in Surrey, our applications were processed through Vancouver Expo Blvd

wanted to share our timeline (family of 3)

- We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on June 3, 2015.
- We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 25, 2015.
- We started processing your application on October 7, 2015.
- We sent you a notice on December 23, 2015 to appear and write the citizenship test on January 7, 2016 at 10:01 AM. T - we were out of country visiting our family when the letter arrived at our house, and we had to postpone that date, since we returned to Canada on Jan 10
- We sent you a notice on February 16, 2016 to appear and write the citizenship test on March 10, 2016 at 8:01 AM.

we passed the test on Mar 10. During the interview the officer was okay with the absent times of my husband (since he flies a lot back and forth to the US for work), but told me, she will make a request to CBSA for my absent times (way less than my husband's). we were told it might take 3-5 month to get an oath invite. I was quite worried about the delay, since now it would be a non-routine application :-(

I checked my ecase this Wednesday (Apr 6), still "in process". Today I opened our mail box, only to find the three invitations for the oath. Just checked back with the ecase, it only says "DM". I was crying, since I was so worried before. Now we take the oath on May 3 (3 days short of my birthday ) in Vancouver Expo Blvd.

So it took us some days short to 11 month for the entire process.

Congrats! I felt like you could have your oath sooner should you've attended the first test invitation. But congratulations, nonetheless!

not necessarily. what I understand from the June 2015-applicants, there have been people which took the test last November and still haven't got an invite for the oath. so I really don't care if it could have been earlier . we are still in a 12 month timeline, which is awesome compared to previous years.
