October 2021 - Citizenship Applications

Why has in person oath ceremony not started yet when mask mandate and social Distancing have been lifted?

Would be much more special than virtual in my opinion.

Yeah also they give you certificate right away during the in person oath ceremony

Montreal office is known to be one of the slowest if not the slowest office when it comes to issue decisions after marking the test as completed.
If you take a look on the timeline of peoples from Montreal, the DM take between 3 to 6 months for a significant number of applicants.
I'm also from Montreal, I submitted my app online 1 month after yours (Nov) and completed the test also 1 month after yours (Apr).
So the answer to your question is we just have to wait unfortunately there is nothing we can do. Personally I wanted to contact them but when I analyse the timeline of the other applicants from Montreal I realise that everything is normal for my app regarding how Montreal office treat its applicants.

I have a question regarding travelling after applying for citizenship. Is it the rule that we must notify IRCC every time we travel outside of Canada for more than 2 weeks? Would travelling a lot affect the citizenship process or timeline?

I got status update on 31st May, everything is complete, except oath, i am guessing its around the corner too ?

Almost same timeline. BG completed 4th May, everything else on 1st June. I expect Oath in next 2-3 weeks.

Online applicant, requested for urgent processing with papers, no response from IRCC in 3 months.
Requested local MLA office, this is the response I received,

As per your request to have your application processed on a priority basis, please note that the powers of a Member of Parliament are limited to intervening in a file to inquire on its current status. In addition, neither __MLA__ nor his staff members can order or recommend that one case be prioritized over another, out of concern for fairness to all claimants. The processing times established by Immigration Canada cannot be followed as expected, as there are delays that have been added due to COVID-19. Although IRCC and employees of the House of Commons of Canada both work for the federal government, we are two different entities, and neither can intervene in the management processes. I am very sorry that I could not give you the answer you expected.

IRCC is a mystery and completely useless.

Any Vancouver online applicants here that have gotten a test invite?

Hi everyone,

Question, since applying and when I check online, the top right corner where it shows "Updated" date never changed until today. I checked weekly and the date was always December 20th 2021m and today it changed to June 1st 2022. Does this mean anything, perhaps someone is finally checking my file.

Appreciate any feedback.

It means a ghost update, Yes an agent checked your file and did something.

Thanks, I know you got it - I recognize your username from other threads. But also, you're not an October online applicant

I am asking specifically here to know if anyone in October saw movement
