October 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[ay1993]

Oath done. Thank you so much all. You all have been wonderful. My application was with SCR office. Waiting for citizenship certificate and passport application.
Applying for passport seems to be an expense that IRCC should do away with. They request us to cut the PR card (travel document for us) in 4 pieces - well ideally they should be providing with a new passport (new travel document) within the same application (and in the same cost as well).

Hey! were you able to download the e-cert? I did my oath on 12th as well from Calgary (virtually).

How was your experience? I have virtual oath scheduled. What documents did they ask for in ID verification?

I'm sorry to hear that; I am in the same situation that ICES requested in February.
In the notes, each eligibility assessment shows a due date - in my case, the Language Prohibitions and Presence have the same due date, which is November 2024.
I decided not to worry about the application anymore and just wait. The process is completely out of our control, and before the posted 15 months pass, you cannot even complain about the process being slow.

I hope you hear good news soon, I know of a person who waited 5 months after ICES request to get LPP finally.

Can I know whats this ICES request is all about..

Can I know whats this ICES request is all about..

Don't remember what the acronym means, but ICES is a database where the Canadian Border Agency (CBSA) logs movement in and out of the country of people. IRCC request CBSA to share data on the applicant to verify the physical presence in the country. I think it is usually initiated when you presence is less than 1200 days.

Just had a question, did you include clerk/oath officer initial in the subject line of the email when you sent the signed oath form?

I am just wondering if this is important. My oath was done on Mar 13 and still not able to download the certificate. I have already sent 4 emails with different format in the subject line.

The email oath form sending info provided during the ceremony does not match with the oath invitation email attachment.
