[AAA2133]

Hi Guys,

Do we need to bring another translation of the passports to the interview? I sent my original ones with my documents.

Thanks,

Got test invite on Nov 09 to appear for test / interview on Dec 06.
Please update on the spread sheet.

Officer asked me questions about being self employed in the past and then said she will do another review for my application. If she has no further documents to request, I will receive decision made shortly and then an invite to take oath in a couple of months. Any idea on why she asked about self employment ?

Updated. I'm assuming they're scrutinizing the self-employment claim because you could say you were in Canada, but you may not have been there. It's easier to say you work someplace and have someone else back that up as opposed to being in business for yourself and advocating for that; or so I would think.

Hello Faiz,
How did you get your test invitation?
Did you get it through mail or through your email?

Hi All,

I did my citizenship test in Calgary on Dec 10th and passed. However, towards the end I was told that my security is still pending but everything else is in order. Is there anyone else who is also in a similar situation ? Please share your experience and timeline as well as any indication of time it will take.. the officer I interviewed with said it could be tomorrow or it could be 3 months..essentially he didn't know or was avoiding to answer that question.

Also, feel free to update the spreadsheet accordingly.
Thanks

Hello Faiz,
How did you get your test invitation?
Did you get it through mail or through your email?

It was by email

Please update decision made - December 3

It was by email

So when you received invitation of test by email it did not change in e-clients that they have been invited you for test on so and so date?

If it remains in IN PROCESS then you should not worry.

I think those who have passes this situation should come up and post their experience.

No, it did not change when I received email for test/interview invitation

Hello,
Congrats
Have you received this message on e-client?
If yes then have you observed any change of your e-client message after your test and interview?
I am requesting to you because two members of this June -2018 Forum cleared their test and interview but no change in their e-client. It displays IN PROCESS only.

Please share your experience.
Thanks.
