March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[viperD]

Hello,

For those of you that have applied for the passport, is it possible to pick one of your last names and then use it as the "official last name" in Canada afterwards?

In my home country we have many last names which is a bit cumbersome over here.

TIA!

Try to use the one you have on all the documents. Specially how it is on the Certificate you receive. I have similar situation where all documents I do not have Given name. On the certificate as well. I want to change it but then I saw the Section I of the form which explains everything. I think you have to match it with the certificate otherwise there is a process to change it.

Hi posting again in case someone can help please.

I applied for citizenship in March 2020. I am a frequent traveler to US. I was asked to submit I94 entry/exit details but I94 website only have last 100 entries. I have too many more trips in last 5 years. So I requested FOIA. But it came with only few records from2015-2017 only and have many missing and incorrect entries. I have submitted the appeal now nd waiting.

Can anyone please suggest if they were in similar situation? Or suggest what can be done?

Thanks for the help here!

Congrats. 100+ people is a good number. I mostly say < 50 people per ceremony. Also, 90 minutes for 100 people is a remarkable time (not long).

So IRCC can hold more than 5 oaths per day.
Hope they are.

I am not sure if they hold more than one ceremony per day in different provinces. In one ceremony they can have applicants from multiple provinces, though. To have two oaths in the same day and in the same province/office, that's unlikely.

The test may be taken on any day of the week. In fact, I took mine on Sunday. Good luck!
