June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants
- Thread starter barsarah
- Start date
Does it say EST or PST? More than likely, the time is based on the office that sent you the invitation. Mine clearly stated PST (Canada) because I live in the west coast/and the office that sent me the invitation is from BC. Pls check your letter and see if it says PST or EST or something else. It will probably be EST since you live in Ontario But pls check your letter to be sure.

I passed the test about 3 months ago, and noticed a ghost update a few days ago on Aug 31st. Today I got a request to send a scanned copy of the passport pages. I guess this is a common request, and is needed to verify the arrivals and departures, right ? I'm not sure if my passport actually has all the stamps corresponding for all my trips, since somtimes the passport is not stamped by the visited countiry. I actually have additional documents, such as the USA I-94 arrival/departure record and flight boarding passes, that can validate all my travel dates. So an additional question is, if I should write a comment in my reply (along with the passport scan), to mention that I have other documents to validate my travel dates, and I can send them if needed ?
Thanks in advance ! Any advice or insights would be welcome.

I am in the same situation because of using the E-Gate, so I attached the passport copy as requested and also attached all the other arrival/departure records. This was about a month ago. I called the call center and they confirmed the documents were received with no issues.
I would say no harm in attaching your other documents.
Thanks. I'm also thinking of sending the additional arrival departure documents, but I'm not sure if these are actually needed by IRCC, or if including them would delay processing as they would have to spend time looking at them. So I wanted to know if it's better to just send them, or only mention I have additional documents documenting arrival/departure and can send them if needed.
No worries.
I had similar thoughts along the same line, but figured i'd much rather send them and they have it on file to review quickly if needed, rather than have to send me an email and me emailing back, then they may take more time to get to my emails and such.
No wrong descision here i believe, your call!
Hi,
I applied in June 2021 and got my test on Dec 2022. But I couldn't able to pass and meantime I moved to the USA and working here. I didn't get my re-test invitation yet. It's almost a year since I applied.
Will my eligibility would get affect if I continue to stay in USA?
Generally how long it takes for my second test?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. I'm really required this citizenship.
Please response to my doubts.
Regards

I sent it to the same email address that sent me the oath invitation. Hope that helps.
Yeah, actually I tend to agree this is a good opportunity to send the travel documents just in case they need the additional verification, and I agree it probably can't hurt.
BTW, I did notice one of my departures was missing in the CBSA records, and it's indeed for a flight from YYZ E gates, as you mentioned above. Is that a well known issue, of having no departure record when departing on a flight from these gates ?
I really hoped to take the oath of allegiance to the Queen... 
If it wasn't for 15 months...
If it wasn't for 15 months...Try to call them and ask why you havent been scheduled for a re-test. You also need to be physically in Canada when you eventually take the oath. I had a friend who took the just a few steps inside Canada and the officials said as long as he is in Canadian soil, it is fine.
