June 2020 - Citizenship Application

[Dr Nonsky]

Finally got my test invite e-mail on Nov 3rd. Took the test today and passed. How does one find out about what their local office is?

The e-mail sent to me was from: DN Cit SCR Scheduling / Convocation SCR Cit RN

Congrats. When did you first get the test update on your dashboard?

Updated. Given where your e-mail came from, I'd venture to say it's the Scarborough office.

Then would you say if I received my test invite from IRCC.DNVANBCISTESTS-EXAMENSBCISVANRN.IRCC <DNVANBCISTESTS@cic.gc.ca> that my processing office is Vancouver?

What is the average window from Test to Oath? I've come across someone saying 3 months. Is that a reasonable answer?

If PR card renewal was sent and in-process, and then oath invite comes, what steps to take then?

If you check the 2020 apps tracker, you will notice that majority of them fall in the 3 to 5 months range from test completion date to oath ceremony date. The CIC has standards and accountability to maintain therefore they are doing their best given the current circumstances and it makes no sense for them to be holding up apps for no good reason.

Yes, it looks like it!

It greatly varies from person to person, and I assume it also varies from office to office. Your best bet is to compare with other timelines. But 3-6 months sounds about right for a lot of cases.

I'm also based in Vancouver but my test invite was coming from an email with "SRY" in it, which makes me think Surrey office is taking care of my file.
