As I understand this time period is only an indicator, but it doesn't mean there are not many applications left older than that.

This is how they define it:
"In the past 3 months, the majority (80%) of the applications we’re finalizing were received during this period."

But who knows what it actually means... It cannot be that 80% is from that week because 1) they are finalizing many other applications from 2020 and 2021, 2) it can't be they are working 3 months on one week of applications
I would guess they meant to say "80th percentile of applications ... in last 3 months... falls into that week".
Does anyone have more insights?

This also means 20% of applications processed recently are older than this period. And there are many more out there.

You can expect an oath invite if everything on your tracker (except the oath ceremony itself) shows completed.

Hi All,

3 days after oath (on Jan 18), today (Jan 21) wife got confirmation of oath completion on the official status page.

My tracker says it was updated today (21 January 2022) but there is no actual update? Any idea what it means? My DM and all sections (except Oath) were marked as complete in September 2021 but no update since. Oath still says not started.

For everyone who is waiting, you can order GCMS notes and see where the file is stuck. Ours was just stuck on the "Oath scheduling pile". So they just have a biggg backlog on the oath scheduling.

Which office?

according to the tracking sheet his wife’s application was handled by the Calgary office.

that timeline sounds promising when I am due for the Oath next Tuesday.

 

[VSw]

Which office?

Yes, ours is Calgary office. Just want to add that we plan to travel very soon. so we added a travel ticket along with the oath sign off letter and requested them to send the Citizenship certificate soon. Seems they accepted our request at least this time
