Today I have finally received email to attend virtual oath ceremony on 17th Sep. It has been a journey with lots of excitement. Good luck to everyone!!
Update: Background Check completed today. Thing is tracker said 3 updates but there is only one that said" September 3rd - Background verification updated to completed". I am not sure what the other 2 updates are about. Ghost updates again?
Don't worry about the number of updates it shows. It is only 1 update, BG completed.
The IRCC tracker has a bug and shows all previously completed steps also as a new update whenever there is any update. When you have Oath scheduled, it will show that you have 8-10 new updates
August 14, 2024: Interview required
September 5, 2024: Interview attended. The reason for the interview is because I took the test outside Canada (which I informed them previously via email). The officer just asked several questions regarding the travel history. My current and expired passports were not really checked (only the bio pages were checked). The whole interview was less than 5 minutes. They told me everything was clear, and I should expect the oath, which would be scheduled by another team.
Update: Background Check completed today. Thing is tracker said 3 updates but there is only one that said" September 3rd - Background verification updated to completed". I am not sure what the other 2 updates are about. Ghost updates again?
Here is my data for the spreadsheet. Godspeed to everyone!
