With a bittersweet sentiment sharing these news with y'all that my journey to become a Canadian citizen finally ended on 4/25 after 17 long months.

I would like to share some interesting facts I came across during my chat with clerk and judge "Anton" - a wonderful mate!

- There are multiple ceremonies held during a day (up to 3). Not sure if this is applicable to only that location.
- Some people wrote their tests on 4/24 and they were called in for oath the next day 4/25. I spoke to one of those individuals and she said, it wasn't urgent processing case and the whole process took about 11 months.
- Some 33,000 people were granted Citizenship in last 6 months through the Mississauga office alone.
- Designate office does another round of security checks (CSIS, RCMP) after the invite for oath was sent and before the ceremony.
- The reason you can't apply for passport right away, after the oath, is the clerk has to confirm that you took the oath and upload that information into the system, which may take up to 24 - 48 hours.

Happy to answer if you have any questions.

Finally, I wish all the best to fellow November applicants and hope that your special day arrives sooner than later.

Just an FYI...although I was a Mississauga applicant, my test and Oath was scheduled in Scarborough at two different locations.

I will be applying for a passport soon, and will definitely share my experience here. All the best!

Eventually after getting my MP involved, I received my test invitation today!
I am Mississauga applicant...applied in November 2017. After waiting for a year, got my MP involved last year in December 2018. MP office sent a couple of communications in between and this morning I got the surprise!
Hence, please get your MP involved if you haven't already done. And if you have, wait a bit more and eventually you will hear good news soon!

I became a Canadian citizen on April 5, 2019.

I would be around and happy to assist 'anyone' who needs help; based on my experience.
