Hello,

Who can i call to check "why" my status hasn't been updated from "In Process" to "Decision Made"? Scored 20/20 on my test about a month ago... wondering if I can follow up with a real person via phone?

Hi Steve,

Make sure you get there about 30-45 minutes early. The line gets long, quick.

Bring along original copies and all the forms you submitted with your citizenship application, your passport(s) (old and new), any visas (or other travel docs), your PR card, and another piece of photo ID (e.g. AB identification or driver's license). You don't need to bring any photos along. The test takes about 30 minutes (it's not hard if you have a good understanding of the Discover Canada book - make sure you go through it and study).

It looks like you said you were in Edmonton (on your above comment). Your test is in a room on the first floor of the Canada Place building (pink building) - just ask the security where the room is (kinda tricky to find - but it's on the first floor). After your test is over, you walk to another area down the hall to talk to an immigration officer. They have your file but they may ask to see originals (your citizenship application had photocopies).

Perfect thanks for your detailed words

Hi, Marticus,

I have a question here, all the forms applied the citizenship? you mean all the forms I have already submitted for my application? I have to refill them and take them with me? I asked someone else, they said to me, only landing paper is needed, others like time calculation form, application form are not needed at all, thanks

 

[steveca2012]

you need to carry all those documents that you submitted with your application but not in original like passport(s), PR card, DL, Proof of english language etc.

Hi， thanks a lot,

so does that mean I have to carry the application form and time calculation form? I think I sent my original ones to the CIC office, and I don't quite remember how to fill them now...

The invitation letter asks for just the original documents that you submitted as a copy like passports (old and new) language test and any original document that you submitted with the application. I wasn’t asked for forms nor anything like that. On the interview the person was checking my travels (from the form I sent with my application) with the passports I took the test day.

I would say to take the documents mentioned on the invitation letter.

No, you don't need to carry any of the forms or your photo. They already have them in original.

Just got invite for the ceremony.
It's on July 6th in Winnipeg.

It came as a separate e mail for each applicant, so 3 e mails for our family.
