I had sent them an email and got a response that I am in queue and they are unable to share any further details of date.
Waiting for oath - Mississauga office
- Thread starter Pra257
- Start date
Applied Sept 2019, AOR Dec 2019, FP Request Feb 20, 1st Test Request April 21, 2nd Test Request July 21 (Still abroad but took it), 2nd FP Request Nov 21, DM Jan 22, Oath Ceremony set for 15/02/22. Will be travelling in from UK to do this as I'm on contract here until the summer.
For the love of God.. i simply cannot understand how the hell does the queue system work for Sauga... i cannot understand the rhyme and rhythm the folks are using for inviting ppl for oath. They are blatantly lying about the number of oath ceremonies per day... it can never be more than 100 else we would have got our invites sooner... or is the 60K delay completely in Sauga?
True. I know someone who applied in July 2021 and is done with oath. I have reached to my MP 3 times and still no oath invite yet. I wonder what else to do.
My guess is that the 60k was a misleading figure & no one can prove it either way. I've been in the corporate world long enough to understand how metrics are measured and achievement boxes ticked, so no reason to believe that a government department would function any other way.
So far, I've submitted webform, sent a query via MP, written to various emails and the lawyer has advised to wait for 6 months, in light of the new announcements, before filing mandamus. I hope it doesn't come to that. It's a needless expense; one I could do without.

I waited 3 months after completing my citizenship exam before I decided to email our MP, Omar Alghabra. By this time, my application for citizenship has already been with CIC for 2 years and I thought I don't want to wait any longer! The MPs office emailed me back to say that they will have someone take a look at our application. Then within a week, I got an email from CIC that my Oath has been scheduled!
I think its unfair to have our applications just sitting around and all it needs is someone to take a look at it. Those applications that are older and buried should go to the top of the queue!

Anyone still waiting for Oath from Sauga office? Any tips from people who waited and did something that moved their files?
The only options open to applicants:
1. Webform Query
2. Urgent Processing request
3. Email to the processing office
4. ATIP notes
5. Local MP to follow up on status
6. Writ of Mandamus
7. Loads of patience
I sent a snail mail letter to the interviewing officer about a year ago. I found out from my ATIP notes that the letter was received, duly noted, request for expedited processing denied and physical letter attached to my file. Two weeks later, my paper file moved to an 'ageing inventory' list. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. We'll not know. The other option that I used was requesting my MP. They followed up and said everything was ok. Oath should arrive in one-two months. Lawyer had advised to wait for 6 months, with so much that is going on now, before filing mandamus. It's not a cheap option. Anything from $2000 to $7000. I don't have 7k to spend on something which I guess could come if I continue to be patient even after 40 months. So that is the only option I haven't exercised. Hang in there.
