In person interview at Scarborough office

[CCGS2015]

We (my family and I) applied for citizenship in May 2020. We were requested to an in person interview at the Scarborough ON office in 10 days. Has anyone attended to an in person interview after Covid? What should we expect? Just wondering if we need to prepare anything or just the documents that were submitted. Thanks in advance!

What is mentioned in email ?
Did they send any instructions?

 

[CCGS2015]

They sent an automated email requesting appearance on an interview at the Scarborough office. To bring the original of all documents submitted on the application and some covid rules. We have 3 different letters as we are three persons with different time slots so it seems it will be individual and not as a family

Is it right after your citizenship test ?

 

[CCGS2015]

No, I did my test in June 22,2021 so it’s been almost 5 months after

not sure but it seems like a good sign that in-person activities like test and oath ceremony are resumed now.

This is a first. If they want to resume interviews in person, then they also should resume test and oath in person.

But this thread talks only about interviews, which is one-on-one. I thought you read somewhere else about in-person test and oath, which are taken in groups. I hope they resume them soon. It's allowed for 20,000 people to gather in a stadium to watch a hokey game, why not for the oath

yeah. I know that some people got online interviews a while ago and now people get in-person interview, which was not possible previously. So I am guessing in-person activities are being resumed now, which means in-person test and oaths can happen soon.

Yes you are right, it would be a great step to have 20K applicants to take oath in a statium so the backlog can be quickly cleared
