August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[forw.jane]

I am in the same boat, haven't received the oath invitation letter but have been scheduled to attend ceremony on Nov 27th. Which IRCC number did you call on? I have been trying 1 888 242 2100 from IRCC's website but my call isn't connected to an agent citing the excessive call load.

Guys!
I just received the instructions for certificate download.
However:
- oath not started
- I had selected to receive the certificate in paper.


2 questions:
- how long until the oath now?
- can I change it to digital certificate? I have a trip next month and I'll need the expedited passport.

Ps: Vancouver office as far as I can tell

I am in the same boat..

Hi, my processing center is Montreal too .I have very similar timeline as yours.

No update since the. Background check is in progress and that is making me stressed. Is your Background completed ?

We did not do it with third party but I called in last thursday in RCMP where we had our finger prints taken and they said it will take up to three weeks in terms of processing.

Your timeline is beautiful

Talk to Oath officer. It depends on them.
