August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Kumr]

Congrats, Kumr.

What date is your oath scheduled?

Not sure why I wasn't already scheduled for an oath ceremony...

Thanks Islander216.
Oath is scheduled for 2/14 (Virtual).
You will get the Oath update in couple of days in the Tracker.

 

[Islander216]

That's great, not too far off now. And then the journey comes to an end finally.

Congrats, have you gotten the email with the details yet?

Thanks!
Not yet. Still 13 days to go, so I am expecting the oath letter to arrive by end of next week else I will call IRCC in the beginning of the Week of Jan 15.

Citizenship Oath Ceremony shows 'Not started'

Got a very similar timeline to you, I just hope that the oath ceremony doesn't take long to be scheduled.

 

[Frisk]

LPP completed on Nov 2, Oath not started. Mississauga office.

I'm travelling to the US in early February, so I hope my oath is scheduled either before my trip or after. I've heard rescheduling the oath can take months and tbh I'm getting tired of waiting and having my life 'on hold' over this.

I know this is getting ridiculous.. it has been almost a month this week since my LPP completed. I’m trying to stay optimistic and hope they send us our path invites soon

Just go. Not trivializing it, but at least it's the US. Tickets may not be that expensive to come back on short notice. I haven't been home to India since I arrived and I'm also in a similar position of "should I, should I not go?" A forummer informed that we can inform IRCC via webform of our travel plans, but that involves the risk of them shelving the application until our return or forgetting about it.

But believe me, I understand your pain. I wonder if they are hoarding applications at LPP complete and then when they need stats/ quick number boosters, they schedule in bulk and clear them.

I haven't been to my home country since I first arrived to Canada close to 7 years ago, no intentions of going back either. My trip to the US is for an event in particular I really want to attend, if I have to reschedule I might as well not go at all.

I already informed IRCC of my travel plans, sent an email to the Mississauga Oath scheduling office too but I haven't heard back from either.

Congrats for the LPP! Can you please share your timeline!

[Islander216]

No offense, Frisk, but when I saw my oath ceremony wasn't scheduled yet, I was thinking I really hope I avoid your situation....

2 months is a long time to be left waiting after LPP is done. And even then, it doesn't mean it's necessarily happening soon, it could be another month or more from when they schedule it.

So it sucks, but hang in there. Are you in Toronto?
