Don't buy anything...just read discover Canada 2-3 times, listen to the important chapters a few times on audio and solve as many online tests as you can.

OK, Thanks a lot

when did you write your test?
reason i ask is i am scheduled for my test on April 25, 2018 in ottawa.
Wondering what is the time gap between passing the test and getting the oath at ottawa office.

Wrote test on March 21. So just under one month between writing test and date for oath.

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on December 7, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on January 26, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on March 13, 2018.
4. We sent you correspondence on April 3, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
5. I received the letter by Mail today .. it’s a request for fingerprints with a bleu paper stating the expo blvd office in vancouver - probably the local office processing my application. (I live in Langley, BC)

I booked an appointment tomorrow with the local RCMP for the fingerprints.

Anyone went thru the same process please tell me what’s next and how long it did take you before the test and oath. Is there a RQ situation after that??

Hello Guys,

Anybody still waiting test invitation? I did my FP and sent to RCMP on Jan 15, and RCMP confirmed that my FP was checked and sent to CIC office

in St.Clair, Toronto on Jan 17, 2018. Almost 3 months since I sent FP and still In Progress since Dec 16, 2017 on my ECAS. It takes longer than I

expected!! Nothing to do but just wait though. Location is Kitchener.

YES!
FPs were done in the first week of February this year and no response after that. I am sure that the application will be completed before 1 year of application submission.
Being an October 2017 applicant, there are still 6 more months to go.

No Test Invites from Toronto??

No Test Invites from Toronto??

Most Toronto applicants are actually processed in Scarborough,...some could've received their test invites and have been updated under "Scarborough".

 

[dominicanx]

Status just changed from IP to DM... noting that no one from Scarborough has reported an Oath invite, I guess now I'll be waiting a while...
