Citizenship Applications after Bill C-6

[Kan_Sri]

@Joshua1 suggestion is to "coach your wife"??? i hope @ morenawela doesnt get killed... wife usually knows everything!

On a serious note - citizenship oath is a beautiful ceremony - you really want to enjoy that moment with family and friends; it will be worth the wait - is my humble opinion! but i agree with @Joshua1 - take her out for dinner! she would be stressing out tooo...

You should file for divorce.
Sorry, I could not resist! My wife got FP... I told her how disappointed as was that she didn't disclose her criminal record before... and that I had spoken to my lawyer...

But since nothing was found on the RCMP database, I warned her not fail the test, that would be the last straw for me.

On a serious note: they will just reschedule her for another test within 2 months (or more); but if she fails again (run for your life)... they will send her a notice telling her to appear for a hearing with a citizenship officer

Note: since your applications are together, you will need to wait until she completes the process to take the oath.

My suggestion: take her out for dinner, have a laugh a and coach her. Cheers!

Hey Any body knows how long the Background check .. I was asked for finger print did it start with the finger print or the Background check starts after they recieve the finger prints ?

Can I get the test invite during the Background check or it has to be done first?

DO you know anyone who checked ECAS to confirm??
I need to know if it's better to send back the returned application so that I can maintain my queue among October applicants.
I sent two applications, on the second I got AOR and on the first i got it returned as incomplete?

If I call the agents, they'll tell me what they think not what the formal procedure is, I don't trust them an ounce.

No, I do not know anyone who did do that..but that's just something I would do if I had sent in 2 applications. I agree about the agents though!
Did you check on your ECAS? What does it show there?

Hi,

So i ended up sending 2 applications as i used the wrong form on the first application but it was Complete

The first one was delivered on oct13, 2017 and the second one was delivered on oct16, 2017

I got my AOR on Dec4, 2017 and the ECAS says application received on Oct16, 2017 so it definitely was the second application

Now saying that I still have not received the first application back but i dont think It will get returned because in essence it was complete but if it gets returned saying you used the wrong form on this application, that is possible.

I sent the second application with a cover letter explaining what happened and why I am sending the second application. currently waiting on test invite. I will update the thread if I get something back but frankly just hoping to get the invite as I see some movement for Brampton applications.

Hope this helps

It is good news that Mississauga office is scheduling tests for March. Moreover, the test date assigned as of today's invites are March 07/08, meaning there are another 3 weeks left (between March 08 and March 31) for more scheduling. Therefore, in coming days, applicants from Sept and/or Oct will see invites for March from Mississauga office.

Thanks, that makes sense .. I'm from Etobicoke, but my app is processing in Mississauga based on my chat with IRCC .. I called them twice, firstly they simply told me where my app was being processed, 2nd time after couple weeks, they said background checks are completed so I should wait for correspondence from them on next steps .. hope my test invite comes soon, would be a huge relief to put this long journey behind ..
