Question for GTA/Toronto people here who have waited in line to apply for a passport recently, what time did you arrive and which location did you go to? I'm doing my oath on Tuesday next week and have travel booked for the long weekend. Trying to figure out the best way to get a passport asap...

Do you have travel planned or anticipate a need to travel? In my circumstances if I were in your situation I would renew my card as I want to have a travel document at all times (mainly for family emergencies). But if you don't foresee any need to travel it may be worth waiting. With that...

The important thing for your application is that you meet the physical presence requirement and complete the physical presence calculator that you submit with your application completely, truthfully, and accurately. You do not want to miss any absences or mix up any dates on the form - and be...

This morning I got an email with the details for the oath ceremony. I'm scheduled for next Tuesday (June 14) so it came exactly 7 days beforehand.

I was not invited to an interview, nor did I have a request for fingerprints or any additional documentation. Anything I post regarding your question is pure speculation, but I believe a quick virtual interview may be an easier and more efficient way for officers to request to see documentation...

Congrats to all whose applications are progressing to DM and to those getting oath dates. I've come here to vent. It's a long post. We are coming up on one year since our applications were delivered. Some of us have completed the process while others are still waiting. I am fortunate that my...

Did my test today and unofficially got 20/20 correct :-). It was hard to get a good photo of my ID (PR Card). Lots of reflection off the card and the webcam couldn't focus well. On the photo I ended up going with my birth date and the expiry date were barely legible. Hope it gets accepted.

Update to my last post: I got an email with all the test details today. Lots of discussion about fingerprints going on in this thread now. I've never had to submit fingerprints or biometrics for any IRCC application previously, and with this application my background check already passed in...

I logged in to the application tracker today and saw that my Citizenship Test window is now between March 18 and April 7. Haven't gotten any emails yet. The site was updated today but the application history shows that the update was done last Friday (March 12). I've checked all my message...

Got my ECAS in process today (Oct 29). Application received June 3 and AOR Sep 15.

Woohoo! Just got my AOR - Updating tracker now

Still no AOR-love for me - Paper application delivered on June 3. Hope this isn't a bad sign.

Congrats to all those with AOR - I'm regretting choosing to submit a paper application now. Hopefully the timelines won't be too different from one another.

My application was delivered today via Xpresspost. I see there are some additions to the spreadsheet but nobody yet from this thread. Hoping I can be added too. Type: Paper application Location: Toronto Physical Presence Days: 1100.5 Application: Single Application sent: June 1, 2021...

Getting ready to send off my (paper) application tomorrow (June 1). It's printed, signed and in the envelope ready to go. I am a single applicant (in Toronto) and have 1100.5 physical presence days. Fingers crossed the process is speedy!
