    Scarborough -DM-Oath

    Usually, they just check the invitation letter and your PR card (which is taken away). But it’s safer to have all required documents with you.

    How much buffer time do you keep?

    The above posters already answered the question. Some agents are more thorough and scrutinizing than others. So, if you have a couple weeks and day long trips here and there during the eligibility period, but you forgot them while applying with a few days or 1-2 weeks buffer, you run the risk of...

    You asked, I gave you my opinion. It’s up to you obviously.

    How much buffer time do you keep?

    Providing you’re sure about your information, some of people wait between 30-90 days for buffer. I personally had more about 12 months because of C24....

    Finger prints request

    Don’t worry. That’s simply not true! My wife got FP and we had a pretty straight forward processing. If you take a look at various spreadsheets, you would see that most people who got FP requests didn’t experience any significant delays compared to those who didn’t. Some people make hyperbolic...

    Scarborough -DM-Oath

    I'm not sure what you mean by the above question, but you certainly need 2 new passport photos to apply for a passport. Your photos must be taken no more than six months before the date you submit your (passport) application. Application for citizenship grant and application for passport are two...

    Just bring what they ask for. Police certicate and physical presence... are not required.

    What to do if I have more entry/exits than what was reported in the application?

    This is why it’s essential to have more than enough buffer days. Based on what you described, you should be fine for the interview. Depending on how many stamps you missed, if I were you, I’d make coloured copies of all the pages of the passport just to be proactive. This could help the...

    No, there’s no need to notify them, unless you’re planning to bring the neighbourhood with you.;)

    November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

    It really doesn’t matter. The correspondence/email received is more important than the actual e-cas status. In fact, if you see test invite updated on e-cas, but you had not reveived the email or mail, that would be a problem, because you cannot (if I’m not mistaken) show up at the venue to take...

    Scarborough -DM-Oath

    As someone else suggested, you should take the DVP - Gardiner Expy W and QEW based on where you live. My oath was also at 9 in Mississauga, I drove on 404 from Markham and hit the the 401 by 7:05 am; got there by 7:45. Had time for breakfast with my family. Some people love to live on the...

    Forgot to mention small trip to Saudi

    This is why it’s advisable, for those who travel even a few times, to have several physical presence days as a buffer. Sometimes waiting couple months after eligibility to apply could save you all kinds of eventual headaches.

    Application received by cic on 28th Jun 18, still awaiting AOR

    I understand the anxiety... and would like to highlight the following; 1. Some people receive their AORs after 120 + days. 2. Getting AOR ‘late’ compared to others doesn’t mean that they will take the test, get DM or take the oath before you. 3. We should assume that clerks and agents have...
