January 2020 - citizenship application

[Svet81]

To those who did the test from outside of Canada - do you have to send an email back to let them know if you can take it from outside or now they have some kind of another way to acknowledge that you are outside and can still take the test? thank you!

Yes, I think you must inform them that you're abroad, and CIC can allow you to sit the citizenship test while abroad. I got a citizenship test invitation in March 2021, I informed CIC I'm outside of Canada. They postponed the test. Then in July 2021, CIC sent me another test invitation, this time they allowed I sit it from abroad. I passed the test, my status was updated with the result and nothing since then.

Hi
Have question for Pakistani members; our passport has last page of wording in Urdu language, so do we have to translate it anyway ? Your reply would be highly obliged.

From my ATIP notes I see 'Not Started' for Residence, Prohibition and Language. But the web tracker shows all three are "In Progress". Is this discrepancy common?

@rajkamalmohanram looking for your thoughts, again

No, this isn't a discrepancy. This is how the system is built, I guess. There is no "In Progress" status on the GCMS system for Language, Prohibitions and Physical Presence AFAIK, I did not see this status in my notes (I have 4 sets of GCMS notes for my citizenship application). They are either "Not Started" or are "Completed".

So, I got a test invite - my tracker says waiting on you but I haven't received any email yet. The test window starts from today (Sept 27 to Oct 17). What should I do? Take the test from the tracker - it takes me to the IRCC test website. However I was waiting for the email. Also, tried calling the 1-888 number and wasn't able to get through to an agent.

You will get an email. If not, try logging into the test website directly and mail yourself a link where you can take the exam. Do through the instructions before taking the actual test.

You should have a link to the test in the tracker update itself.

CIC asked for fingerprints so can we do fingerprints in USA ?

I completed my oath on Sep 1st but haven't received my certificate yet. I am Calgary applicant but oath ceremony was in Winnipeg

Hey @Salar123 I finished my oath last week. I’ll keep you updated when/if I receive my certificate.

When was your Decision Made and which office?

Decision made was July 20 and I think Mississauga but I am not sure.

Decision made was July 20 and I think Mississauga but I am not sure.

Which city do you reside? Or what is your address on the application?

That determines the office which processes your application.

In the citizenship test invite email I see they have written: "You can complete the online citizenship test even if you are not currently in Canada. However, you must inform IRCC that you are abroad before taking the test. You will also need to notify IRCC upon your return to Canada" I have mailed them back letting them know that I am outside canada and would like to still take the test - my question is do I have wait for them to get back to me or since I have informed them I can go ahead and take the test now? Thank you all
