Are they asking very specific questions to your guarantor? Or just general, like when you have met and what do you do for living etc..

At our interview back at the end of February we were told that we can expect the Oath invitation before September. And we got invitation at the end of May for ceremony on June 9th. Yes, we were anxious and waiting impatiently, but they kept the promise and were even faster than expected.

I guess we get to live in times that everyone is considered suspicious unless they show that they are normal.

This is what I am trying to avoid. With Canada Post not being very reliable, I don't want to be mailing applications back and forth. This is why we want to use that other form. To be honest we are only few months short of "knowing" someone for the required amount of time, but we want to apply...

Congrats! Quick question - did you have a guarantor to sign or did you need the Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form?

I was at the same ceremony. They asked to have PR card, Confirmation of PR or Record of landing and Notice of Appearance ready (Oath invitation letter with the signed media release form). Time on invitation was 10.30am and the ceremony started around 11.20 when everyone was seated already.

Hello, Would anyone have experience applying for passport without having guarantor? I moved province and at the moment I have no one who could be a guarantor for my application here in Ontario. I know I have to fill out form PPTC 132 (Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor). Did anyone...

I am Canadian since Saturday :) Feels good ;)

It was a nice experience :) My husband and I got to sit in the first row. A note to people wanting to bring family to the ceremony - they only allowed one person per family first and then whoever would still fit in the room. So remember not to bring your all family members as they might feel...

Why won't you wait until you move to apply and have no issue then? They always ask for present residence address (so your current address). Mailing address could be anywhere, so if you want, you could put your new address there. But you will need to notify CIC that you have moved anyway. My...

Just a quick question to people that already have taken the Oath at Scarborough office... How are people dressed? I'm thorn between dressing up nicely and wearing a T-shirt/blouse with Canadian flag on it... Any suggestion?

People on the phone don't really have access to your file, just to what you see on the screen. It's more for people who didn't create account online and have no other way of checking their application status.

That's standard.... I tried about 30 times before I got through and then i waited for 37 minutes to actually talk to the agent.

It wasn't jobs for cleaners, just skilled workers and people with trades that Canadian employers couldn't find here. We went to job expo and after normal interview the job offer was given. It was Canadian employers asking people for interview, not other way around. I feel like we were invited...

Yes, in some sense. A lot of people came to Canada via Provincial Immigrant Nominee Sponsorship program. Canadian employers went to European countries and gave job offers to people to come and work for them here. There was an express processing of Work Permits and Residency for those people. You...

The problem for him/her is the need to travel. If you need to leave the country while waiting for Oath and your card is expired, you might be stuck. When I spoke to an agent, she said that if you apply for PR card renewal and in the meantime you get Oath invitation and they don't start...

My card expired at the end of May and I am scheduled for Oath this Saturday. Thankfully I didn't need to travel by air so I will be ok until I get my Canadian passport, but like Jumon said, it's personal decision.

In my case, it was the new name. We applied in September and on the application form it asked what name you are currently using and that is the name they are going by. Your form asked did you change your name and would you like CIC to use it. If you chose yest, they will go by new name, if you...

It asks for all of it on my invitation.

Congratulations!
