Congrats… quick question. How do we know decision made ?
 
My oath is scheduled for April 10 as per the tracker since Mar 19. I haven't received any email instructions yet. Any guidance? Should I call them?

Hi, it's the weekend, so it might come by Monday or Tuesday.

Mine came within a day but it was during the week. Perhaps, if it doesn't come by next week you can call IRCC and see.

Thank you! I will wait for a day or 2 and call them if it doesn't come by then.

On Mar 2 (Saturday), I received an email to download e-citizenship certificate at the email address I used to submit my citizenship application.
However, ceremony date is still not available in the tracker.
  • On Mar 6 2024, my oath ceremony was scheduled (Mar 20). I tried to reschedule due to a potential out-of-Canada travel, but then decided to put off my travel and take the oath on that day.
  • On Mar 20, 2024, I joined the Zoom call while physically in Canada and took the oath. During check-in, an IRCC officer checked my IDs and location (asked me to open the map app on my phone and show my location), then asked me to cut my PR card into 4 pieces. I was also told that my citizenship certificate would probably arrive by the end of the next day if I emailed the signed form on time (I was also given the option to choose a physical one instead, but I stayed with an electronic one). The whole process took about 50 minutes. I emailed the signed oath of citizenship form right after the ceremony concluded.
  • On Mar 21, 2024, I got the e-certificate on the IRCC portal, thus concluding my immigration trek.
 
My test was completed on Jan 26th 2024 and I got my background verification on Feb 7th 2024. I have not heard anything since then. Is this normal?

That’s a very smooth oath ceremony and e certificate process.

I attended the online ceremony on March 18 the officer asked if I am in Canada and if I have any travel plans and I said not until May. I sent the signed oath form right after the ceremony but there’s still no e certificate to be downloaded. On Friday I sent my document on the webform and tried to call IRCC but couldn’t get through. I will keep trying today.

does anyone have any idea why it’s taking longer for me? I just want to apply for the passport :/
