Hi January Applicants,

I will be submitting my application soon. I have 3 questions.

1. Did you submit a Canadian police clearance with your application (do we need this? Or just for countries outside Canada?)
2. When filling my employment/school history, should I also include my coop work term that I had while in school even though I have already accounted for that time period with my school?
3. Did you print out only the biodata pages of your passports, or pages that had stamps as well

Thanks in advance

I did not have the hard copy of my invitation for the test. I just showed them the email on my phone. after the test theres an interview with the consul, they will just ask for the pr and passport if you passed the test then they will ask you to sign a form.

Hello Folks. We got a test invite email last week (family based application) for test on June 28. However login to ECAS i see the below
"We sent you a notice on May 11, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on June 28, 2018" - Why will ECAS mention the may 11 date when we got the email for the test only first week of June.
Not saying this is of any concern to us. Just wanted to see if anyone see inconsistency in the dates mentioned in ECAS

I actually brought all the original documents but they only asked for two identification and passports; expired and current.

When you come to this appointment, you must bring with you:
 this notice;
 2 pieces of personal identification, one of which has your photograph and signature on it;
(e.g. driver's license, health card, Permanent Resident Card, etc.)

Just came from Citz Test and Interview. Tests completed in 15 mins. Pretty straightforward. Reading the book atleast a couple of time necessary. Interview was simple and crisp too. Officer was kind and gentle also had an eye for detail in our case. Verified English language proficiency for both self and spouse. Clarified dates on border crossing that werent on the passport but on the CBSA records and finally told that she has no concerns for both applications and asked to wait to hear from CIC for ceremony and oath. It could be anytime between now and January as our application was made on January this year. Hope the invite comes as appropriate based on its time. Congratulations for all who went through the tests and interview today at Scarborough Town Center and elsewhere. Hope we get the ceremony invite soon!
