It was not even a name change. I had the issue of name split where I wanted to split my first name and last name.No other choice, so had to select name change which is what triggered the referral.
Did you change your name during the processing or before you apply for citizenship?

After 11 months of submitting my application, I got another letter from IRCC asking for Entry/Exit records from UK. They asked me to submit within 30 days. Form no is CIT 0520. Entry/Exit records is checked in the form.
I was unable to submit this with my RQ/QA documents.

Hi, I've test/interview coming up soon. I'd like to know how long an interview usually lasts. Would there be questions about about life before Canada, e.g. education, work, etc.? And should I take proof/ copies of the same for the interview or just limit to what has been asked in the Test invite letter?
Many Thanks

1. Typically 5-6 minutes max.
2. Usually no.
3. N/A. Just carry what has been asked in the invite letter, plus "translation" of entry/exit stamps (if applicable).

ECAS updated with oath date and time but I haven't received any mail/email. What should I do if I don't receive any communication before my oath date?
