Vancouver Citizenship Test Invite - Masterthread

[yawnman]

Hi people of Vancouver, lets gather here and keep each other updated.

Where are you with your application? Did you get an invite yet?

I have been waiting since July 2019 and couple of folks I know from FB group are in the same boat.
Makes me wonder if they started sending test invites in Vancouver / BC.

Hi AshesNdust,
Thanks for your timeline. See some of my questions as below?
1) Are you a single applicant?Or if you applied together with your child who is less than 18 years old, did they send you both certificate together? Any idea?

2) After you receive certificate, how is the procedure to apply passport? Any PDF to fill in and write your credit card number in the form? Any information or link to share?

3) Did you apply express or normal standard? By mail or by appointment?
Thanks and please let me know.
