March 2022 - citizenship applications

[esse]

SCR office seems to be sleeping with all our applications. I too completed my test on Nov 14 but no updates since then. It's been 3 months now.

The website says 4-6 months for the Oath invitation. We have some time to go. It took an eternity to get the test invite and there it was one morning at 9:00 am when I opened my email. It will be the same thing for the Oath invite, at least we are not alone.

My Application is stuck in BG since last June and my wife's application has all been completed since last September. Last month I emailed IRCC to separate our application and last Friday I notice that her status changed to "Decision Made" and my son's prohibitions step completed.

Did IRCC approve the separation of our application? When will my wife expect to have the ceremony from the DM status change?

Congrats! It is as if our applications were stapled together

I'm also scheduled for citizenship ceremony on Mar 15th. See complete timeline in the signature.

Yup, pretty much the same timeline. Good luck to both of us. I hope the oath ceremony is an in-person ceremony. Will see what it says in the invitation email. Hope to receive it soon.

Mine is SCR too. Test completed on 1st Dec 2022.
Also sent that email to the ceremony mailbox, got a response saying application in progress and sent to appropriate unit for review. Wonder what that means.
Basically timelines are a hit or miss. Feels like a raffle draw on when your application will be picked up and processed.

Luck good or bad seems to play a big factor. There is definitely no FIFO order.

So I emailed the citizenship ceremony mailbox: IRCC.DNSCRCitizenshipCeremony-CeremonieCitoyenneteSCRRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca
I got a reply within an hour saying that I have been 'rescheduled' for the ceremony on the 6th of April at 11AM and that I will receive a notice to appear 1 week prior to this date.

Is this legit? The status on my tracker still says 'not started' against the Citizenship ceremony..

Yes it is legit !

Your tracker will probably update tomorrow.

I received my update in the portal on the Saturday and they answered my email at like 9 pm on the Friday with my oath date !

give it 48 hrs-72 hrs

I Actually sent an email 2 days before the ceremony that my wife will travelling and they asked for proof, though they said there is still time but will ensure we get it within one week, and they actually sent it within one week.
