Canceled Citizenship Ceremony

[Sky999]

There’s no reschedule yet for me. I’m just wondering what happened. People I applied before them are swearing in without any issues. Has anyone been rescheduled since Sept. cancellation?

Still waiting from July 30 last year

Nothing yet, unfortunately! It seems it might take months of waiting. Hopefully, less than 6 months. People are stuck from mid-July. Unless for some really weighty reason (job opprtunity abroad, etc), they do not seem interested to get thing done quicker. Our oath date might come today, it might come in March, it might come (God forbid!) in September. They refuse to tell any processing times. I only know that any rescheduling should not take more than 6 months, but a friend of mine who missed his ceremony is in his 8th month of reschedule wait now. It is heart-breaking to be treated like that when being just a step away from becoming this country's own denizen.

Hi any good news yet?

We applied on Dec 16, 2022, and our upcoming ceremony was cancelled on Aug 30, 2023, 7 days before the ceremony date. The USA job offer letter helped us a lot in January 2024. We also gave through WebForm a detailed explanation why it is important for us to get our application expedited. I submitted through WebForm first, and my immigration consultant made an explanation. Then IRCC notified me that this letter was put in queue to be reviewed by an officer. Unfortunately, during 1 month and 1 week there was no action on part of IRCC. I contacted my MP regarding this and she contacted IRCC about 4 times to ask about the status of the review. We also sent the copy of the letter by regular mail to Scarborough office. I also sent it by e-mail to Scarborough office. We also went to Scarborough to talk in person but could not meet with anyone apart from a security guy. There was no any action. Finally, when it was 1 month before the expiration of the offer, my MP raised a ticket and escalated the case. She said the officer was "unwilling" to do so as the application was "non-routine and with no processing times" (BS!!! Always say so, on no grounds apparently) but she insisted saying that the expiration date is nearing. 2 days after the escalation we got the new date (Feb 5 2024). About 10 hours before we got it I also wrote to Marc Miller (I do not know if it really helped). That's the story.

Hello, My re-scheduled Oath was also cancelled due to booking error in October 2023. No re-schedule received yet.

My original Oath was for July 2023, re-scheduled to October and cancelled due to 'booking error'. I haven't heard since. Have you got yours re-schedule yet?

My Oath was 2023-Sep 7th, I didn't get any email and almost have mental illness from waiting.

Now, this is what you'll do. 1. Request GCMS; from there, you will learn the true status of your application. 2. Write to your local MP and explain your situation, however, most of these MPs are difficult to reach, you may need to write multiple emails, make calls, or even visit their office before they can react. 3. Send many webforms to IRCC, may be it will wake-up your application. 4. Send an email to marie-josee.dorion@cic.gc.ca, explaining your circumstance. 5. If you have an international job offer, present this letter to your local MP, and attach it to a webform and request for an urgent update. 6. This is the final step, apply for Mandamus, this is a formal legal proceeding that you would be taking against IRCC to request that they process your case and render a decision.

I thought all people from September 2023 cancellation got their ceremonies rescheduled! Me and my peers did. In my case it was my MP, but the IRCC officer called Marie was super-effective for helping others. Try write to her. It's abnormal that they did not reschedule you yet. That's all I can say, I do not have time to keep correspondence with anyone, here, sorry. May God help you!
