February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[pras_tcs]

Looking at the tracker, January 2020 applicants have only 2 weeks between oath letter and oath date. So why are FEB 2020 applicants getting oath dates for 2022 5-6 months after oath letter?
I was hoping to get this all done with before end of Nov so that I can qualify to get a work visa in Germany, Would this be a valid reason to get urgent processing? Feels like this citizenship process is neverending.

Hello,
I am a November 2020 Citizenship applicant. I also have plans to get a German work visa after getting Citizenship. Are you working in IT ? and Are you planning to apply for German Jobs from Canada

Hi, I am seeing `Decision Made` on ECAS but when I login to the account, I am still seeing Citizenship ceremony as Not started. I have not received any communication after decision made. Is that normal?

Yes I believe it is normal. I was in similar situation for about a month.

How long it take to get the oath invitation?I dont know when the status changed to Decision made. No entries added to the detailed steps.

Is there an option to delay the oath ceremony?

Yes, that is normal. That's how the status progresses.

To avoid disappointment, expect it'll take at least a couple of months after DM to see oath notification.

The ceremonies are already delayed. You don't have to do anything to delay the ceremony lol. Currently, 2020 applicants are getting ceremonies scheduled for December, Jan and Feb 2022. So, if you receive oath date sometime in the next month or so, you might likely (depending on your office) see an oath date for Jan 2022 to March 2022 window. If you still want to delay the ceremony until after that, you can respond to the oath invitation email and request them to postpone the ceremony and provide a valid reason.

Good luck!

DM is usually the date the remaining fields in the new tracker marked completed.

When they send you the invite, you can email them back and ask to postpone it.
