Scarborough -DM-Oath

[Vladizza]

Don’t feel disillusioned. It’s very frustrating, I agree, and I’m wondering, with so many ceremonies scheduled for May, how come no one on this forum (after the first few two weeks ago) has got an invite.
Clearly there is some internal issue that we’re unaware of.
But, because of this process that is, quite clearly, affecting many, don’t feel that this wonderful country doesn’t want you.
You’ve come so far...it’s more streamlined than it was in years past, it’ll happen, and you’ll, all of a sudden, forget this angst.
Good luck to all.

Thanks!

Was this before C-24? or after?

Before C-24 it used to take years, i know someone who's citizenship application took 4 years end-to-end, that was in 2011 which was not very unusual at the time.

After C-24. She got DM in 3 months or so but had to wait little over 12 months for oath.

And what's the deadline now? 12 months? Where to complain if nothing happens?

There is no deadline. 12 months is the service standard. If we do not receive any response, we should probably contact local MP's office and have them ask for status.

I do not know the reason of delays but applicants from Scarborough office are adversely affected compared to others when it comes to oath invites

I wish that the officers working towards our oaths were as active as this forum

The officer told me only that by 1 year mark I should get an answer (or everything done). I think she said 'an answer', then she asked me to leave because there were many other people waiting to be interviewed. Strange.
My friend told me that there was no explanation (probably there was something very general, like not enough proofs that she will live in Canada, because the law was such that they could do almost whatever they wanted, it was 6 years ago) and that she was in shock as well as her lawyer who wanted to go to media and escalate it further. But my friend gave up finally, because she already moved to Spain for work, and actually didn't care much. OK, that's an ugly story, and I applied almost two months after I gathered 1460 days. Let's hope we don't share the same destiny. My daughter is born here, I'm staying anyway. With PR you can live equally more or less the same life, but it's somehow nuisance to always be in a second tier, and with the feeling that the country that you're living in doesn't want you.

Based on the information provided regarding your case, there is nothing that show that Canada is a "country that does not want you". If Canada "does not want you" you will not event be here to apply for citizenship.
Like someone wrote above, your friend's story is an anomaly. People just don't get rejected for citizenship, I am sure there is more to it. Good luck and keep positive.
My PR took me 13 years and that has taught me a lot about patience and I still maintain my positivity as that is what kept me going.

Hi Devs,

Finishedy teat Mar 22nd and status changed to DM next day itself.

As per what your saying is that it will say that on the online status it will say oath letter sent ?

Also do you get an email when oath letter is sent ?

My test date was Jan 10 in Scarborough.
Decision was made and online status updated on March 23
My online status was updated today stating a letter was sent on April 12 and my oath date is May 4

This should help you estimate your timeline.

Did you call to ask?
Also I saw someone talking about something called GCMS note that you can order to check detailed status

 

[Poshy]

Status online only changes after oath, apparently.
You get the oath invite via email.
