    Samira Whilst they ask for all the original documents which you should take if you have them, normally the only documents they look at are as stated by thecoolguysam "Usually the originals are: PR card, all passports, landing document, 2 pieces of ids" with provincial driving licence and...

    Cananadian father and noncanadian mother ( second wife)

    Dilvin As far as Canada is concerned he doesn't have a second wife. If he wants to have 2 wife's then he needs to move to a country where that is legal. To become a Canadian Citizen you have to swear "I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada" did this man lie when he took the oath?

    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    UOC CIC offices are a federal government responsibility not provincial. The biggest reason that Ontario has such quick processing compared to Alberta is because the Liberals are in the process of destroying the Ontario economy which has caused a much greater % of immigrants to move to Alberta...

    The Canadian Government needs to make immigrants feel more wanted...

    Bigudi If I understand what you are trying to say with your photos correctly I think you miss understand the conservatives. They are extremely pro immigration (just look at the numbers) their aim is to drive down wages for the 90% by ensuring an excess supply of labour thereby boosting the...

    The Canadian Government needs to make immigrants feel more wanted...

    One of the reasons I believe immigrants often don't feel wanted is because there are too many of us for the economy to absorb comfortably. If immigration levels were reduced by say 50% of current levels so there was no longer a surplus of new immigrants, but a slight shortage, then I bet we...

    In our case we were just asked to produce the requested documents then a quick comment about my wife's expired passport (not a problem) and my job and that was it. We weren't really asked any questions at all.

    freetorch You do not need to renew your old passport. My wife had her citizenship test in May and 4 weeks later took the oath and she didn't have a current passport as her old one had expired 12 months previously (about the time we applied for citizenship). The CIC officer who did the interview...

    You could just post your old passport as "documents" rather than a passport (having taken a scanned copy of every page first). If you really can't get your old passport then you have no choice other than to take a scanned copy to CIC. Not being able to produce your actual old passport will...

    Fingerprint request on citizenship test day!!(cic- calgary)

    Sanny27 A fingerprint request may simply be the result of someone with a similar name being in the system or known to CIC . If that is the case whilst your application might technically be considered non routine it might only add a short time to your application time.

    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    We received a prohibition form to sign at the test and just before oath so yes that appears normal. CIC are getting very hot on this area now. If you are prohibited and falsely sign the form multiple times then you have a big problem. If in doubt declare any issue, its the only safe option.

    Gregmah Not exactly sure what you mean by a ban (but if its not criminal your friend should be fine) but if in doubt its always best to declare the issue because CIC take false statements very seriously.
