Thanks for sharing ! I’m taking oath tomorrow, hooray!Hi All,
Wanted to share my Oath experience with you all.. Finally I am a Canadian.. Horrrrray...
- Reached the Mississauga center at 8:50 AM
- Stood in line - when my turn came - they took away my PR card - checked my invitation letter and asked me to take my seat
- My number was 88 - there were 100 candidates in total
- Clerk came and explained the ceremony process
- Said we can apply for passport after two business days - so Thursday
- Judge (funny guy) came and we all stood up.
- He cracked few jokes and briefed us again about the process.
- We all stood up for the Oath (goosebumps.. may be couple of tears too)
- We took the Oath - one clerk walked around and made sure everyone present was saying the Oath
- Row by row, we stood in line to sign a document to confirm
- Stood in another Q to get the certificate from the judge
- Went back to my seat - when all were done - we stood again for the anthem
- Judge left - came back to take pictures with all
- Left the hall at 10:50 AM
It was very straight forward and well organised event.. they allow guests to be present in the hall... You can take pictures/video of the whole event except Oath and Anthem. I was in an out in 2 hours... The only thing I didn't like was there were couple of babies who were crying/cranky and the clerk was rude to their parents and asked them to leave the hall.
I wish everyone in this forum good luck and speedy process. Also, thank you to all the members who have helped during this long and tiring journey. It's kind of assuring when other people post messages saying they got it through and also little calming when you know/read that you are not the only one and other people are with you in this journey.

took my test on May 27 and passed! 19/20. i just checked online and it says ''decision made" mississauga office
We wrote test and passed yesterday, checked ECAS this morning and status has changed to Decision Made. Our case officer ( a nice and very friendly man) told us he has granted us our citizenship after the interview and we should expect our oath email so the status change was expected. We are grateful to he almighty for how far he has brought us.
Admin please update our status
To all those waiting all the very best. I believe the flood gates will open this month for sure since they have began working on long standing cases like ours.

hello guys
i m on my way to fill up the application. one question about it is that how the one or two day trip trips to states will be counted, like i have no problem in manually counting the stamps made on passports. but is there any other option we can choose, the reason why i ask because figure out on cbsa travel history link that there is a question i think 14 in application we can choose IRCC to collect info on our behalf from CBSA
any member please guide me in this process. which option you think is the best one as i live in surrey and lots of time we travel for a day across the border.
thanks in advance

You have to list all trips in the calculator to check and prove the residency obligation. It is clearly mentioned in the instructions of the calculator. IRCC takes your consent to counter check the records with CBSA.
Just read 'Discover Canada' few times and go thru online practice tests and you should be good.
Okay thanks for your reply....can you please suggest any online practice test?? Thank you
