Test Passed-20/20 in Calgary.
I just read the Discover Canada,listen to the audio version 3x and practice some free online questions.
Questions were easy and I just spent 4 minutes on all the 20 questions.
Interview was less than 5 minutes.
Citizenship Oath loading.......
Please do update accordingly,admin.
Thanks Admin for the group.

Is that period (i.e 2013 and 2014) within your eligibility time?
I am asking because for my travel log I filled all the trips that I have made after the landing only?

Technically yes, as it it counted as 0.5 day per day towards eligibility. But it wouldn't affect me in any way as the maximum presence bonus as a temp res is 1 year (and I've been here as a temp res for 5 years, so it translates to 2.5 year of presence - 3 weeks which I left for = still over 1 year). Bureaucrats what can I say. Either way, just waiting for the oath ceremony now. It will probably be sometime in early spring.

I recommend making a list of all travels during your entire stay in Canada (since coming as a temp res) or at least for the last 5 years and bringing it to the test.

great ,, thanks

How were questions ?? And how long does interview last ?

Easy questions but ensure you read the Discover Canada.
Interview was less than 5 minutes for me.
Officer just checked all my original docs and she was satisfied.
She said I will get invitation for Oath Ceremony within 2 months.
Hope this helps.
Good luck

i just finished my test at Calgary and passed and finished interview. Now interviewer said I need to submit PCC from India as I have been out of canada for 180 days,, does anyone have gone through like this ?? How long does it take to get PCC

That is strange. usually they should have asked the PCC before even starting the processing.
Anyways, I did get PCC from India. I am from Brampton and used BLS International for getting the same.
I got that within 2-3 weeks time.

Hope that helps. If you dont have BLS in your area, try contacting Indian Consulate and they would help in providing.

Cheers,

Hello

I recently got my current nationality passport renewed. Do I need to update IRCC ?
1. If yes, do I need to fill up any form and send ?
2. Or just a passport copy is fine ?

You don’t need to update them; just take it with you along with le old one the day of the test/interview

Yea, even I was wondering as why did my file come this far and than they are asking PCC again, they should have flagged at the start of my application only. Also, I feel it depends upon interviewer ( mine wasn’t friendly ) so may be that’s why.
Thanks for your reply, I did go to BLS and they said it will take 2 weeks to come by, hopefully it will come in 2 weeks as I am
Flying to India in 1 month. Fingers crossed
