    Residing in one province, IDs from another province

    Hi all, I reside in Ontario, but that was not always the case, and I still have strong connections to Quebec, where I have a mailing address for some things like Quebec health insurance. I have also maintained a Quebec health insurance, since as a federal employee, I am exempt from residency...

    All Ottawa October applicants

    Someone said the judge asked for the driver's license... which makes me wonder.... what if I have applied in Ontario because I live in Ontario at the moment, but some of my paperwork is still in Quebec ? For instance my health insurance is in Quebec as I get exempted from the residency...

    Adult Citizenship App Form - NOT OPENING??

    Always gives me a 1 page view of the PDF, with a message on it (don't remember what it was)... you have to download it and open it outside the browser. This is the case on multiple computers and browsers that I've used.

    Bad interview experience - help, please!

    Not saying that the officer was right or wrong. But here's a related anecdote: I have a friend who had a bad experience where an officer demanded the original of her previous passport, which she did not have (she had submitted photocopies), because in the country where she is from, when you...

    Does it mean it was sent, or does it mean it was received from the local office? Because it says "we started processing", which to me means that it was received by the local office. If that is the case, the local office must've scanned the application , in order to generate a IP status... which...

    In ECAS it gives you the option to change your address... off the top of my head, you can just use that to change your address.. but just so that they do not think you simply moved, and then assume you had not included that particular apartment in your application, I would also send a note to...

    December 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

    My guess: it's that time of the year where public servants/officers get renewed (most of them probably are term employees)... so they got a push from managers , on being more productive vs being let go + productivity goes up when contract's up for renewal because employees think job performance...

    All Ottawa October applicants

    I am surprised I got IP so fast.. not to jinx it or anything hahaaa. but I was one of the ones who got AOR later than those who had submitted after me ... Maybe what happens is, they process AOR then send it off, then the ones that come in later end up at the top of the stack... and get treated...

    Also, the OP states "sign" the photos. I thought we are not supposed to sign it, but put our name on it... no?

    Did anyone see the video about the citizenship test? I do not know if it is a new one (post-C6), but in it , it says to bring certain documents, and that if you do not pass the test after the 2nd try, you will have to see an immigration official for interview. Does this mean that otherwise...

    Also, I just checked ECAS today, and I now have 2 lines, 1) we received your app on Dec 11, 2) we sent you AOR. When I checked yesterday it wasn't active. Means someone did something this morning. Hopefully my application is now on its way to Ottawa!

    Yes, apparently they do send them on weekends even. I didn't think so either. I wonder if they schedule this and it gets sent automatically, or if someone is physically there and working overtime/weekends (which is strange since that is quite rare in government, I guess they are way behind...
