Awesome! Thank you! I'll try that number tomorrow then. Hopefully your invites will come shortly. PS: test invitation is from Scarborough, and it is dated Tuesday, November 25, 2014 (but mail received on Friday). Hopefully there will be more good news for this group this coming week!

Thanks a lot. Ya I was not expecting this at all. I'm happy and thankful but unprepared for this. My mum also just received the AOR + Discover Canada book in the mail this Friday. So it all came at the same time which gives me like a week to study. So weird. Anyway, I'll have to give them a...

Hi Guys, Big update: I just received mail that I've been invited to write my citizenship test on December 8th. I was definitely not expecting that at all so soon. My mum just got the mail on Friday. Big problem: I'm on an exchange semester abroad until January. It was all in my application...

My understanding is that it WILL count so far as it is time physically spent in Canada, while you're a PR, and within the four year period preceding your application for citizenship. You being a PR, makes you a resident, whether or not you call another country "home".

On an unrelated note, I just applied for a UK visa for the Christmas holidays - 200 euros for the shortest visa possible. Ah, one more reason I can't wait to get my Canadian passport!

Hear Hear! Let's be patient!

If you're asking about the Discover Canada book because you would like to start studying in advance, then it's accessible online here (I can't post links on this forum): CIC website, "Citizenship" tab, scroll down to "Publications", then click the "Discover Canada" link.

That explains it... Thanks! I have edited the AOR info. I understood it to include Ecas acknowledgement of receipt.

You can add me to the list too @ Rossei. My Ecas was updated this week (finally, yay). Don't worry early August team, you should get updates sometime this week or next hopefully! Date Sent => 05-AUG-2014 Date Received => 11-AUG-2014 Ecas date received => 8-AUG-2014 In Process =>...

Hi Everyone, I had a pretty speedy PR process as well - about 7.5 months. I've been in Canada for 10 years exactly this August. I have been a student the whole time - high school, university, master's degree, law school. I guess I'd be considered a more routine applicant. Let's hope its the...
