Nice, all great, I am carrying exact same/everything you'd mentioned except missing a couple of boarding passes, and I don't have CBSA declaration forms/pictures. Also, same on not having boarding passes/tickets from trips to/fro US/India or others prior to move to Canada, rest all is same...See you on 08th
Citizenship exam is completed and I received interview for application
- Thread starter amandeepsingh.2792@gmail.
- Start date
Interview was done today, was brief 10-15 minutes. Filled a basic Green form with No criminal record and prohibitions declaration. Then was asked to sit for a bit. My number came at 1:30 pm for 1'o clock appointment. The officer checked IDs and all passports first (including one renewed last year). Then asked basic questions, majority was like what you do, position, Job details (basic), with questions on the entry/exit and address history. The way I made entries into the system made it bit complex to calculate Physical Presence per them. They reviewed each page of old and new passport from the system Vs actual, checked I-94 randomly, checked address history and IDs again, then made a few entries into the system. Finally, stated that you'll get an email if anything is needed and if not, keep an eye on the tracker. She stated that it may take a few days more to review considering the 50 entries they've to go through! So lets wait for LPP now..
Surprisingly, the Attorney Physical Address related entries (for Work permit and during PR I had attorney) also showed up in the system, so they were not sure, instead added a few notes therein per my clarification
I got there around 11.15 for my 11.45 appointment. Filled out the prohibitions form and waited probably 5-10 minutes max. Officer was very pleasant and courteous. Checked my passport and PR card, asked for my DOB to confirm identity. Asked about job and address and how long I've been at this address. There was one particular trip back in 2020 he wanted to know more about (this was when I hadn't yet moved permanently to Canada) because he said I had listed that as vacation (I had not) and it was a considerably long trip to the US (6+ months). Explained that to him and then he asked if I had spent more than 6 months outside Canada since my permanent move. Asked about my most recent trip outside Canada - which was in June. He asked if I had taken the citizenship test outside Canada - he seemed surprised when I said no. I did send them an email asking if I could take the test outside Canada but eventually decided to come back and take it here. Looks like once you ask them that question, the system flags you as being outside Canada. So explained that to him and offered to show proof of my presence here but he was satisfied. He said he'll be approving the application. I requested him for urgent processing due to travel requirements for a health issue. Told him that my trip in June was also an emergency trip due to health concerns and gave him the proof of doc/lab visits and medical reports with the dates corresponding to the June trip (and before too- from Canada). Was asked why I needed to travel for this and why I couldn't do whatever was needed in Canada. Explained the reason to him. He said he needed to take the documents (medical proof) and discuss with his supervisor. Came back after a couple of minutes and said that they had approved urgent processing but however, oath scheduling is booked for the next 5 weeks and they can't do anything about it. But since this is urgent processing, if anyone that's already scheduled cancels their oath (not no-shows...actually requests postponement or cancellation), they will invite me. If that happens, it will be in very short notice and may even be on the morning of the oath ceremony. So he just asked me to keep an eye on my email. He once again said he was approving the application. I asked him if I should see it in the tracker and he said yes. All of this probably took 10 minutes. Was out of there by 11.45-11.50. Now hoping LPP is updated in tracker within the next 2-3 days.
Indeed good luck! Glad to hear. I was in ER as well few weeks back and still contemplating if I should plan a Doctor appointment back home considering hospital wait times here, never knew that they do consider medical urgency, which I should have mentioned, lets see. Its hard even to get an Endoscopy appointment with wait, fingers crossed.
Yep, same here. Been on multiple specialist's waitlist here for 3.5 months and decided to go back home to get the necessary tests done asap. Need to do a couple more tests and hence the request for urgent processing. I called and asked them 3 weeks back if they can do urgent processing but was told that I'd have to submit a webform with a doctor's note and it likely wont make much difference because my interview was already scheduled. Also, from what I read online, webforms tend to have a 1 month response time. So decided not to submit webform and instead make the ask directly during the interview.
It's really going into an infinite loop with one ER to trying another ER another weekend, to trying urgent care, to referral, then finally got onto with a specialist, but they can only do certain aspect, so back to square one, without diagnosis or affirmation. Felt so worried and unattended/lost in all this over last a month or so, imagining what could or may happen when absolute do/die situation. Not having family doctor and awaiting for that, its another wait, apart from all this, and now the worry when Citizenship will get through as add-on item for worry, lets see, hope things fall in place one day! Keep in touch mate
