decision made updated on ECAS.. whats the approximate oath invite time line from this group?? thanks
Congratulations! I’m happy for you!Yay! After many years, I am almost done with my struggle to get my citizenship LOL
Arrived here in August 2010 on a caregiver visa.. Sept 2011, I lost my status and restored it in January 2012
Became PR in August 2014.. It was delayed for 3 months because I was waiting for my police clearance from the 2 countries where I worked for a few years..
My citizenship timeline is:
March 26 2018 - Passed my application
March 29 2018 - AOR
May 17 2018 - In Process
July 2018 - I received a letter that there will be a delay on my application
April 16, 2019 - I went to our MP (Member of Parliament) and asked assistance why my application was delayed. I assumed that it was my last name. I have been using 4 different names coz the country where I came from have different rules in using the last name.. Then I got married when I was a PR and been using my husband's last name and my middle name (became too complicated) that I couldn't fix it without going to the lawyer
Seems like going to MP about my application really helped.
May 3, 2019 - CIC mailed me a letter asking me about the right name to be used. Or submit a change of name from the province. Or they can just process using my PR name (which was wrong in the first place because of my country and Canada's rules). I went with using the PR name and thought of just fixing it after citizenship is approved
June 14, 2019 - I received an email for my test
July 10, 2019 - I took the test in Surrey.. Got 20/20 (super easy) - Guess what, during the interview, I was told that the explanation I submitted about my name when I first submitted my application in March 2018 was actually accepted and my name has been changed since then.
July 11, 2019 - Decision made
Today, August 8, I received the schedule of my oath
SEPTEMBER 5, 2019 - OATH TAKING IN VANCOUVER
OH MY GOD! I THINK I AM GOING TO BE BAWLING IN TEARS! THIS HAS BEEN A LONG WAIT FOR ME.. AFTER 9 YEARS, AND 20 DAYS, I AM GOING TO BE A CANADIAN CITIZENNNNN!!!
(Sorry for the long story!) I am just sooo happy!!!
To everyone who are still waiting, you're next..
Remember that patience is key. Patience is a virtue; and patience is bitter but the fruit is sweet.
Thank you so much! Appreciate itCongratulations! I’m happy for you!
Anyone took the test on August 8th in Surrey and already got date for oath?
I think we took the test in the same place. Please let me know here if you get a call for the oath.I gave test on aug 08 in surrey. Waiting for oath.
That looks like a normal timeline to me. It is 12 months from the time you submit your application to the time you take the Oath.. They send test invites 2 weeks before the date.. Then after the test, they'll tell you 2-3 months wait for the oath ceremony. I think, you're still good..Here is my timeline:
app sent on November 09 2018
Aor: Jan 17 2019
IP: Jan 29 2019
I am still waiting for test invite....
Anyone know why mine takes so long, should I call them or just wait.?
