November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[tenhag]

When ordering GCMS notes, should I use the application number as the file number?
I can't find a file number anywhere else. Even the AOR/tracker only has the application number

Hi all, need help in applying for guarantor via public notary. Does a minor child also need a guarantor PPTC-132 form filled? Or can I include him in my form. Thanks!

Update
Oath scheduled in Person on August 14th
In the Oath email invitation, only in the email message showing you are invited to IN-PERSON. There is only one attached pdf file OATH OR AFFIRMATION OF CITIZENSHIP, including the seat number only, where I can find the location and the time? there is no address in the pdf file as well as in the email message.
Can you please advise where I can find the date?

Should I sign the OATH OR AFFIRMATION OF CITIZENSHIP form and send it back by email in the form showing return to: IRCC Kitchener ? or I can share during the oath day?

Where can I find the notice to appear?
What is the personal release and consent form, they asked me to bring both and there are no additional attachments?

Need your help guys, thank you and good luck everyone.

Hey Jose,
My tracker shows that I am scheduled for Aug 14 for ceremony. But I haven’t received the email yet. Do you mind sharing the email address you got invitation from (dm me please)?So I can followup.
The one email address I had has mail box full and my email keeps bouncing back. I have tried webmail and calling live person. Hasn't got me anywhere.
Please help.

In case you were thinking that sending a webform actually helps, I thought I would let you know how mine went.
-Applied early Nov 2022
-I sent a webform on Jun 1-2023 politely asking what the hold up might be and if I needed to do anything.
-End of june I got my oath invite for July 5. so I thought that maybe the webform actually did something.
-Aug 2 I got an email response to my webform (a month AFTER I did my oath and 2 months after sending the webform):
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
