@jsingh89
I submitted my FP around Aug 05 still nothing. But there are other applicants who have completed their test and got Oath invitations. So, it depends upon individual case.

Wrote the test Today. Did silly mistake. and got 19 out of 20.
It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you passed! Congratulations! I read the book once and then I start doing the tests online but I can say that if the exam would have been as "hard" as the online tests were, I would probably failed! o_O

Ah, and I remember with amusement, was a question about what symbol is on Canada's coat of arms! 1. Poppy flowers 2. Maple leafs 3. The beaver... and one more. I tended to answer "poppy flower ", then I just realized that in the front of the room we were doing our test was a huge canada's coat of arms made by bronze ...full of maple leaves. Checked!

Hmm...today is exactly 2 months and couple days from DM and still not invite for the Oath. As far as I can see people are aying that DM is a good sign and people get oath invitation soon after, however 2 months have passed and nothing.
Btw Toronto

It's frustrating to have this timeline :'(


  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on March 29, 2018.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on April 12, 2018.
  3. We started processing your application on May 17, 2018.

Imagine, I helped a friend applied for citizenship. We're from the same city. She already took the test last Nov 6.

Anybody here wrote a letter to the Immigration about expediting their application? I wanna travel in March but it's not an emergency as we are just going for a Holiday. But I'm worried that they'll schedule my test during the times that I am not here.

Have you ever tried to call them or make a web inquiry? I've heard about someone (I do not know the aplicant personally) that had a family member with bad health issues back home, so they provided a translated medical note and submitted to local emigration office and they got the oath sooner (few days after the Exam). I do not know the person, it's just a rumor but might be true.

I'm just afraid not to get the oath invitation on email. I came across with a topic from Montreal December 2017 when a whole bunch of people didn't get their oath invitations emails because of a system error.

I am from Regina and i have already passed the citizenship test. I got a letter saying i should go to US website for all my record of US visits, print it and mail it.
I have already printed the document.
I was wandering if i could personally submit this document to citizenship Saskatoon office(i am already visiting Saskatoon) or do i have to only mail??
Maybe you should just call them and ask them.

Hi,
I would like to know if there's anyone in this forum which has the same situation:
  1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on March 21, 2018.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on April 5, 2018.
  3. We started processing your application on June 26, 2018.
Until now I didn't receive any invitation regarding the test. I can see from other comments that others have already passed through the test step. Anyone here with the same issue as mine?
Yes, My file processing started on June 18, 2018 and nothing received after that. I am in Kitchener
