I suppose you are submitting your education records as evidence for being in Canada in a certain period of time (unlike the PR application you don't need to prove your education level in the citizenship application). Thus, if you have finished only your Master's in the relevant time period...

Yes, wait until they ask you, which is not always the case. I was asked to submit fingerprints. It is done only digitally with private contractors here in Ontario. These contractors need your File/Case no. to process your fingerprints and send it to the RCMP.

Hi skhan123, We asked the KG teacher and she gave us a generic letter confirming that our son attended the 2 years of KG and that my wife always brought him and picked him up from school. We asked for a more "official" one and she gave us the same letter with the official school header. We got...

Actually yes. I hoped to do it anyway. I called Election Ontario and was told that I could do it as soon as I am a Canadian Citizen. In the Ceremony we found a VOTE flyer with the flag and Citizenship package you usually find on your reserved seat. The then Judge also urged us to vote, but she...

Hi everyone, We had our oath today in the Mississauga Office (it looks like Mississauga has 2 ceremonies every day this months). It as a very nice and formative event for all of us. Wish all of you short oath waiting times :), and the best luck in Canada.

Hi everyone, Had our Oath Ceremony today. It was a a very nice and emotional experience. A journey ends after almost 8 years (initial PR application) and a different one continues. We even participated on the Ontario Elections today ;D. I hope everyone the best luck in their applications a...

My son and myself together, my wife separately applied for OHIP records by Regular Mail at the end of January. I got mine about after 5-6 weeks, my wife almost 4 months after the application. No Idea why ::). I don't know if you need them for a RQ or just as a precaution, but I recommend that...

Applied may 2013 Fingerprints Jan 2014 Test (+Interview) May 29th Mississauga Office Oath ceremony June 12th (we all were told that a judge still has to check the documents, and if anyone gets a call befor the 12th then he/she shouldn't show up for the oath) Good luck to all of you.

If you mean with both Non-English and English that the stamp has has for example the words EXIT/ENTRY in English and the date in some other language or the other way, then you have to translate it. if it has all information in both English and the other language then not.

Hello again, We had our test today. Was really a very smooth experience. The officer was very nice and said from the beginning where we could have an issue (4 months gap between our 2 passports), but he also told us when he thought that everything is ok. The rest of the interview were the...

Hi all, Congrats to everyone who had their test/oath and good luck to anyone still waiting. I had some very busy months with a new jib and a new house/schools etc., but everything is really fine now and we are enjoying some new aspects of Canada that we haven't experienced before ;). Ok my...

Congrats for your wife ;D. Application submitted May 2013 (family). Fingerprint request Jan 22 (both of us), submitted electronically 4-5 days later.

Hi, Sorry for hijacking the thread :). I have a related question: Do I have to take my son's passport along with the other documents to the test? In the CIC page it is said to take all submitted documents. My son's passport has some untranslated stamps (he and my wife went in vacation one...

Congarts PR42LONG and peter_h. It looks like they really mean it with shortening the times. Update: As I told you my wife and I got a letter to submit fingerprints on Jan 22. The fingerprints would go to St. Clair although we live in Mississauga. We did that 3 days later. Last week I called...

In my case I think it was because my name combination (and its variations) is very common. I also think that the country of origin is important, since some countries have less than optimal record keeping procedures ;). What I really want to know is if they check you only for criminal records...

Hi canadp Thx for the reply. Most of the visas are within the past 4 years from the date of the application (some stamps are after), but I understood form the the Citizenship application guide (point 3) that only the Passports' biographical page(s) is required to launch the application. And...

Hi, Since the processing time for the 2013 applications seem to be somehow faster then those of the previous years, I now think that there is a slim chance that my application (May 2013) may actually progress this year and I have to take the test. From posts here I understood that the officers...

Hi all, I've been following this very useful thread for some time now, but since I believed, that our application will take 2-3 years anyway, I thought that my time line would be boring :-). I called the call center only once in August to ask about the AOR. It seems now that there are some...
