Anyone from Montreal got online test invite and/or oath ceremony

[happysheep]

I wouldn't do that. If you were still waiting for the test, then maybe, but after DM is not a good idea. How long have you been waiting? 6 months?

Thanks very much for your advice!
Until now I’ve been waiting for 5 months and 4 days. My DM was on July 3, 2021. The system updated on July 5, 2021.

Just got my certificate today - appears to take ~ a week to get it from "Complete", very closely mirroring @Orgcom 's experience (My timeline is in my sig)

Congrats! One small step left. I sent my passport application from the US...

Thanks - it's certainly been a /very/ long ride, indeed (and, admittedly, not nearly as long as some more unfortunate souls here). It's not over, yet, but one inch closer.

Update (Nov 2020 single applicant, DM on Dec 1 2021):

Logged into the tracker just now to find that I've been scheduled to take the oath on Dec 20!

Wow you’re so lucky! Are your application in Montreal office too?

Yes I'm a Montreal applicant. I should add that I ordered GCMS notes twice in the last 3 months and the second time I specifically asked to be informed of the exact reason, if there was any, for why my file was being held up - I don't know if that had any bearing on anything, just mentioning it.

Congrats. That's super fast. Have you received your second notes? And how you asked for the exact reason? I filled ATIP notes form a month ago, and I don't remember there was a box where we can add comments with the request

Thanks.

I haven't received the second set of gcms notes yet - I applied for them 3 weeks ago and seeing as I received my first ones in exactly 30 days I'd say the second ones should be due to arrive sometime next week. There is a space to add comments/relevant information right after the last question:

I ordered one ATIP notes in October and haven’t received any reply until now :’(
I guess you’re very lucky

OK, I must have completely forgot about it, probably because the box says to provide "relevant" information, and I am a law-abiding resident/citizen. Next time, I will use this box to complain/ask questions, to hit two or three birds in one stone.

I suspect that some files are being processed in Sydney, and those file are taking the longest for every single step/action/update

Would you mind if I ask should we choose”Personal information under Private Act” the free one, or choose “All government records under Access to Information Act” that costs 5 dollars?

Last time I chose Private Act the free one, and got a temporary tracking number. It said after my request had been registered I’ll receive another Email, but no Email come in anymore.

I guess maybe I chose the wrong one?

So my last ATIP request wasn’t registered at all, maybe that’s why I haven’t received any reply yet.

For my first request I left that box blank because I did think I had already provided all relevant info. But since my second request was less than a month after I had received the first notes (which btw contained nothing of interest, unusual or non-routine - just showed my file hadn't been touched since the test update) I felt it was necessary to explain why I was submitting another request within such a short timespan.
