March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[dharmmie]

Ya, true. I will post here if I do get it and can you please do so as well?

I will definitely.

No. No travels after becoming PR, same job since 2019. It's very straightforward.

oh gosh,
it doesn't get more straightforward than that...
so weird how simple applications like this get so delayed and some other complex ones get the LPP literally the same day after doing the test.

Just shows how RANDOM they are at processing our applications,
the odds of predicting the lottery numbers are higher than trying to figure out a pattern or formula they follow!

have you moved provinces during your eligibility period ?

Does moving province have an impact?

Great! Congratulation! Finally the journey is over for you!

Did you specifically ask for an In-Person Ceremony to IRCC? Or it was done as a default?

 

[dakspatel5951]

I will definitely.

Check now buddy I just now got it.

Thank you!

It was a default. I was worried a little bit because I requested an e-certificate; however, everything went very smoothly.

Its here finally just downloaded it now.

Did anyone have oath on Aug 22 and yet to get their e-certificate? E-certificate isn't available for me yet.

I logged in so many times to check today that the login attempts have maxed out!

I am concerned because those I know who had the ceremony on the same date have got their e-certificates.

send a mail to the same id you sent the oath letter to

 

[krishere1982]

send a mail to the same id you sent the oath letter to

I was thinking maybe I should wait until end of day tomorrow and then email them if I don't get the e-certificate by then too?

They say that it takes 2-5 business days to get the e-certificate after sending the signed oath form.

Wanted to see if there are other people who wait 2+ days after sending the signed oath form to get the e-certificate.

I've check several times, but it's not there. However, as you pointed out, they do say wait 2 to 5 business days. So I'm not panicking until after Tuesday. If I don't get it by then, then I'll be worried.

 

[TriniKRN]

I checked several times today for the eCertificate, but it wasn't there. Just checked again at 4:00 PM and hooray!!! It's there. Downloaded and ready to apply for Passport.

I will keep y'all posted in here on the Passport application progress. However, the Citizenship journey is now officially over.

PS - If there is a better group that you know of for me to post First Time Passport Application Progress, please share.

Thanks to all of you in this group during this journey.
