;) we are the rabbit -- too impatient

Sorry if this has been discussed earlier . . . with the avalanche of October applications wrapping up, does anyone know if the increased staffing levels for processing are still in place? If so, one would hope the processing times would start decreasing for the more recent applications. My...

VFX_man Dec 2017 application spreadsheet. Moved to "In Process" today, March 14, 2018 thanks

Guessing this page has missed being updated? https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/redir.do?redir=app_gra&lang=en&app= If you are between the ages of 14 and 64, you will have to meet the knowledge and language requirements for citizenship. The citizenship test will determine if you meet the...

Ah, thank you, did not know that they all went to the same processing center - since the dates on AOR are all over the map, I thought they went to different places.

Interesting, a co-worker said our the Vancouver citizenship applications are sent to Nova Scotia for sorting and inputting, then sent back to Vancouver for the rest of the processing . . . curious why they would do that.

Update: December 2017 doc VFX_man AOR: Feb 12, 2018 Looks like we went in as individuals [was prepared by a law firm] versus the listed "family" so my wife's previous data is the same as mine. But, since I am 55, I am exempt from the Test so our schedules could end up being different...

Seems that way. The Vancouver applicant dates are all over the board, so must depend on who's desk it lands on?

The email AOR ones receives . . . What is the subject line and from whom? Want to search my email for it in case it got buried or spammed. Thanks, VFX

You have to enter those trips into the calculator and it will tell you if they are "counted" as a "in-Canada" or "out of Canada" days. Basically: 1) If you cross the border into the USA at noon on Monday and return to Canada at noon the next Tuesday - You count both days as "In Canada" 2) If...

Unfortunately late to the submission game . . . The citizenship package was signed for on 12/18/2017 in Sydney, NS - interestingly enough, 1 day before our 3 year PR Flagpole trip. Do have a procedure question: Wife will be required to take the citizenship test, but I will not since I hit 55...

Sorry no desperation on my part. I passed the test, why are the results only valid for 2 years? I just wanted a copy other than the sealed one that you cannot open and have send in with the PR application. Native English speaker for my entire life so it's not like I forgot English after 50...

Tried, my account has been deleted. I called them directly and started to give them my Registration Number -- they stopped me and said, "Is this an older number?" Yes, I said from 2013. Their reply, "Sorry we do not keep them after 2 years, but you can re-test". My reply, "Wow, what a scam!"...

Which on-line site was that. Thanks!

How are people getting their CELPIP results? Mine were sealed and sent in for PR and when I asked for a copy I got the below reply from the company that administers the tests. Is there really a need to retake the test? It's not like I forgots hoz two speazze Engrish Thanks...

Note on the age requirements [55] for testing. I turn 55 in a couple of weeks. If I send in BEFORE my bday, I will have to take the citizenship test per our immigration lawyer . . . so will wait. Will still study with my younger wife though -- did ok on the on-line tests, so it should not be...

Question on the age requirement. My 55th Bday is coming up this November. If I turn 55 after the documents are submitted [but before being approved to move to the next step - i.e. take the test], will I still be required to to take the knowledge test since I will be 55 at the time the request...
