I have 72 pages of visa stamps in my passport. I'm submitting them to a service for translation of non-English stamps. Some stamps have been smeared to the point of being unreadable. Is that going to be a problem during the passport stamp review at the interview?

If I add the US federal+state income tax rate to the annual cost of healthcare there and compare it to the income tax rate in the Canada+Canadian healthcare here, the final bill is much lower in Canada.

This just in.... Received our test & interview invite yesterday by email. Test & Interview date is March 21 I see no mention of the need to translate passport stamps. Should I see it mentioned in the invite letter? It was sent by the IRCC office at Expo Blvd in Vancouver. It arrived on the...

Yes, Singles at least.

Looks like Oath/Interview letters are finally starting to trickle out for post-C6 applicants in Vancouver, at least for the single applicants according to the spreadsheet. It is only a matter of time for the rest of us.

When is the age threshold considered? I turn 55 this spring. My application is currently in process (October submission), waiting for the interview/test letter and date. If the age thresh is based on the interview date, then I presume if the interview occurs before my birthday I should expect...

I understood that the 54 age limit applied only to the language requirement. Does it also apply to the citizenship test?

Here's an update for our entry in this spreadsheet: ID: hfinkel Application Type: Family (2) Location: Vancouver Physical Presence Days: 1,284.5 MAIL_DELIVERY_DATE: 16 Oct 2017 AOR_DATE: 23 Nov 2017

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. I based my expectation on the averages shown in the spreadsheet. But Vancouver seems to take a bit longer. In any case, I'm sure we're in the pipeline for all of what is to come. Happy New Year all.

Sounds great! Thanks for your efforts on our behalf.

How do I reach the google spreadsheet gods for this forum? I strongly suggest we split the spreadsheet file into separate files for each month for 2018. A common annual spreadsheet file results in too many users than google can handle. Surely we can link across spreadsheet files to accumulate...

Perhaps the thread would be deleted as a duplicate thread?:p

Our's just went In Process, yesterday's date. 20 days from 23 Nov AOR. Not bad. Suspect a test invite letter in early Jan and a test date around end of Feb maybe early March.

Moving right along :cool:... Does this mean our app package has been posted to a local office here from Sydney or that it is already here? Please update. Thanks. ID: hfinkel Location: Vancouver App Type: Family (2) Physical Presence Days: 1,284.5 App Sent: 12 Oct 2017 App Delivered: 16 Oct...

I share your curiosity. Another October applicant (user88) on a different thread in Calgary reports In-Process to Test Invite of 24 days and a test-invite to test-date of 51 days. It will be interesting to find out how we fare at the Vancouver office.

I see only 200 entries (exactly) on the spreadsheet when I load it. This seems like a low count. Perhaps the entire sheet isn't loading?

And I live on the banks of the river separating the two. I wonder where our apps will land :)

Does all of BC get processed in Surrey?

Yeah, probably nothing to worry about though unless it becomes a trend into next month as we're heading into the holiday season with staff taking time off.

Probably some new kid on the block was handed the administrator hat. Didn't know what they were doing.
