November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[americanincanada]

Was asking myself the same question in my opinion anyone who can read and understand French or English can study discover Canada and pass the test regardless of where they did their schooling.

I didn't say people can't study and pass unless they went to school here, just that they probably wouldn't find it as easy as someone who did. My word of caution was just to tell people they should definitely study and not blow it off because everyone claims the test is so easy!

Definitely not true. My wife is Canadian citizen. Born here and definitely does not remember a lot of the dates when it comes to history.

Remembering dates is only one aspect of the test. I'm sure your wife has at least some familiarity with Canadian history even without the dates. Someone without any Canadian background (my partner went to school in India and then the US) may be more or less starting from scratch and there is a lot of material covered in the guide.

It was marked complete in the tracker as of Mar 28, so the turnaround was fairly quick.

Thank you for replying. Now I know for sure I’ll have to call after 3 weeks of nothing.

Hi fam. I had my citizenship Oath ceremony by Zoom Video today. Wondering how long I will need to wait again? I am in the Kitchener Ontario area.

Is your PR card considered a travel document? For the passport request, do I need to include that as well as my passport?

No, PR card doesn't count as a travel document.

Thank you! I am sending them my copy of passport now. Do they send you a confirmation of receipt?

welcome @Roger1985. Nah, they don't send you out anything upon receiving your passport copy. If there's a problem then they will contact you. On my case, after submitting the passport copy, a month later on the tracker. Language Skills, Prohibition and Physical presence activity status set to "Completed" from "In Progress"

Received my test date this morning FINALLY! Taking the test between April 4 - 24th! The curse of April 23 has been lifted!

Hey folks, I send my passport photocopy end of last November to Mississauga office and still waiting? Anyone know how many months estimate to wait

 

[Roger1985]

I am so happy for you. Anytime I open this forum I always look forward to see a change in your application

You are so kind. I feel like your positive words helped me get my test invitation in some way. I will be studying for the next week or so

How long time takes for next update once you complete your test? And what will be next step? Oath Ceremony or they still required passport scanned copy?

 

[americanincanada]

After the test getting marked as complete, does anyone know whether the status tracker or ECAS tracker gets updated first?

 

[Roger1985]

Definitely know that but I never thought they would put it officially on their site now.
