Hi Members,
I wrote my Citizenship exam today and passed. My application date was Nov 18, 2018. To my surprise the officer asked me questions about the entries in the absence calculator sheet and matched them against my passport. He latter found a few discrepancies and mentioned that he will have to contact the Border Security to confirm the dates I went out and returned back. Couple of questions:

1. Is this usual during the validation of the original docs on the exam day ? Why I am surprised by this is that they waited 1 year with my application to do this due diligence.
2. He did mention that this is going to delay my application but did not mention by how long. Any clue ?

Thanks in advance.

Mine took about 3 weeks to verify & reach “decision made” status. They were confirming travel between the US & Canada because the border agents don’t always stamp the passports when crossing any more. Hope that helps!!

Thx jamdon24. Thats the exact problem. The agents don't always stamp hence the discrepancy. Hope things move quick because the holiday season is coming and things do slow down during this time :( :(

Hello everyone,

Did my test on Nov 23. passed with 20/20. officer told me that there are few stamps missing from Canada side while entering by road. She said she will contact CBSA and request for travel report.

She also told me that there will be holiday season and we don't work from Dec 23rd to Jan 06. and expect Oath in February.
