[mamad2020]

hi to all and merry christmas. i just want to clear out some doubt that i have test on 11 january 2018 .on that day should i take my son documents with me like pr card,passport,birth certificate he is just 2 yr old .any advice thanks in advance

If he is already a citizen, you probably don't need to take his documents. But I would take everything just to be on the safe side.

I submitted my application just before Bill C-6 rules came into effect. However, I received my notice from IRCC in the mail yesterday and it would appear that IRCC have actually applied Bill C-6 rules to my application so now I don’t have to write the knowledge test (because I was over 55 years of age when I signed my application) but I still have to attend my appointment on Feb 2nd to verify my identity and check my original documents. Needless to say that, despite studying the “Discover Canada” book for the past 2 months, I am actually relieved that I don’t have to sit the test......but I am very happy and proud to have a good knowledge and understanding of Canada for when I do become a Citizen.

Please could someone update the spreadsheet accordingly?

Many thanks and good luck to all......and best wishes for a very happy 2018!

I got a FP request and sent it in electronically about 2 weeks ago. Should I see something in ECAS indicating that CIC had received it?

I don't think you will see anything specific to the FP. I did mine in early December, and can only assume it was received, but nothing in ECAS. I assume the next thing I will see is a test invite...
