Updated! Are you being processed at Scarborough or St. Clair ?

I'm at the Scarborough center.

Just called.... apparently my case is being processed in Scarborough... sooo slow...

Test passed. Because of my numerous absenses and unverifiable stamps on my passport though the citizenship officer has to request all entry information from cbsa before approving it so mine may be a slow application.

really easy. you need 15/20 to pass.
i read the book 2-3 times. finished the exam in about 5mins.

the officer just confirmed my extensive travels b/w canada and the US. and mentioned that they dont have the security clearance yet. and he doesnt know how long it would take. well. just gonna wait i guess. in the end, he said everything looks fine, i will be called back for oath in "a few months".

You have to read the book at least one.. and do the online tests. You will be fine.

The test isn't difficult - but don't underestimate it. As others have suggested, read the book 2-3 times at least, and solve as many online tests/quizzes as you can.

I would recommend you also download the audio version of the book on your mobile handset and listen to it during your idle time, (e.g. while commuting on train/public transit/..or when doing routine activities such as grocery shopping...etc).

Interesting. Do you have an approximate numbers of entries in your residence calculator? And what do you mean by unverifiable stamps, can you give us more details on this?

What is extensive travel? Like every working day, once a week, once a month, couple of times per year ...?

Can someone answer me? I’ve posted this two times but no reponse

I had my test done and passed (please update) but because i was abroad for over 183days the officer asked for a police background check from the country i was at. However, I wasn’t in one country the whole time, i was traveling, she told me to give her the dates of when i traveled and when i left ( because they don’t stamp your passport when you travel within the European countries ). Turned out that I’ve stayed in each country less than the amount of days and she didn’t say anything about it she just asked me to bring the original copy of my immigration sheet with me when i come to my oath ceremony beacuse I didn’t bring with me to the interview . Do you think i still will be asked for the police background check or not. Because if so it will take quite a time since i have no one in those countries

 

[CANADIANZ]

I have about 9-10 trips outside Canada during my eligibility period.

There is one trip to UK in which passport control officer at airport stamped my passport but the ink on stamp was not good. So it only shows border of stamp without any dates or information.. I think this kind of situation makes in unverifiable... not sure what officers will do in this case!

When you will get an oath invite it will be a letter, telling you date and time and what to bring on that.

Based on your question, you do not need a police certificate. And will not asked to provide one if officer is satisfied that total days spend outside Canada are less than 183 for any particular country.
