Wow, there is about 20K applicants waiting for the oath in Quebec?!! Did I understand French correctly?

Correct

 

[CaBeaver]

Correct

The question is then: how long will it take to clear this number? Things will only get worse with the passing of time as the backlog is growing with their slow an incompetent processing

 

[CaBeaver]

I am losing my patience with this process. It's been 25 months since I submitted my application, and I am afraid I am close to a 3rd background check, which if conducted before I am invited to the oath would delay my application by another 3-4 months. I have sent them webforms and complaints .. etc, but no response and no actions. I am so frustrated how what was supposed to be a joyous journey towards the citizenship, has turned into a miserable experience

I just had the citizenship oath ceremony yesterday. Around 70 people participated. At that rate, it would take roughly 57 weeks to clear the 20000 people waiting for the oath. However, it seems that there were several ceremonies per day so... maybe less? Very difficult to know without more information.

However, it seems that there were several ceremonies per day so... maybe less? Very difficult to know without more information.

An agent told an applicant once during the registration for the oath ceremony they do 2 ceremonies a day 5 or 6 days a week (I forget which), but I assume these numbers are for all of Canada, and not just one office. Let's say they host 100 applicants each ceremony and do the ceremonies twice a day and 6 days a week. This will be 100*2*6 = 1200 applications a week. This is very slow to clear the oath backlog. It will take them 17 weeks if they allocate all seats to Quebec applicants, which means in reality these 20K applicants will have to wait significantly more than 4 months for their oath, because other offices schedule their applicants for the oath as well. They need to make the percentages of each office's share in the oath proportional to the backlog size. For example, if the total applications waiting for the oath is 40K in all of Canada, and Quebec has 20K applications waiting for the oath, half of each oath participants should be from Quebec. If they don't do this or scale oath ceremonies capacity, I can just imagine a much worse situation in few months.
