Waiting for oath ceremony
I have written the citizenship test on Nov 04 2003 in Mississauga. We were told that we will receive the notice to appear for oath ceremony in a couple of weeks. Its almost 15 weeks and did'nt hear anything from cic. Can someone tell me how much more I may have to wait before calling CIC. I am also checking on the status regularly on the CIC website.
Thanks

A: If you fail the test (and how could you!) we will call you today or tomorrow to arrange an interview.
B: Those that pass the test will most likely be sworn in in Late April.(8 to 10 weeks)
Frankly even taking into account varying workloads between CIC offices, I am surprised you havent heard anything in 15 weeks. I would try and follow up with them.
What does your eclient status say?

Don't stress about it. The exam isn't the final step, there may be
other security checks still remaining and the like. Furthermore, 3-4 months
from the exam to oath isn't abnormal. The 'couple of weeks' is a generic
comment from someone who doesn't necessarily know your case and a 'couple of
weeks' is certainly off base anyway.
Relax, enjoy. Dream about how you will celebrate making your oath.
