What is your office?

They absolutely can. Although looks like the more common course of action, if more clarification is needed, is the issue of the CIT520, which is a way more specific and smaller request for documents and usually is processes way faster.

Man... two months?!?!?! You should have withdraw the application as soon as you realized the mistake.

And a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian! :D :D :D :D :D

I have no idea whatsoever. By the time of my interview I posed that very same question to the Officer (although I got my test invite by regular mail) and he said he didn't know. Could be either. At the end I got my Oath invite by regular mail, just like my test invite.

Well... this can be considered a misrepresentation, since you have to sign the "intention to reside" form, right? I mean... you are officially declaring that you will reside in Canada during the entire process of your citizenship application. If you don't... well... you basically lied. I guess...

Just be careful to not put much faith in the Officer. Keep your eyes open for e-CAs updates, mail and email. People missed their oath because of that.

I had two missing stamps on my passport with absolutely nothing to prove that I actually entered back in Canada. Nothing. I gathered a few documents, nothing as strong as you have, in case the Officer has an issue with it. The Officer quickly checked my passports stamps, he clearly saw the...

Yeah... I remember that. That actually makes a lot of sense. I hope they have nice accommodations for me. ;D

That would definitely be my choice. If I had to give up my birth country's citizenship to get the Canadian one, I would make a campfire with my old passports while drinking wine and celebrating. I would not even think twice. But that's me.

I hope so. Of course, this is just a tendency. Who know what happens close to holidays? Who knows if anything will change with CIC having to hurry up the Syrian Refugees processes (with good reason)? But I'd say you have good chances at least to be a Canadian by January.

There... No need for more whining. Just go disavow your oath and be happy.

Aloha there! Unfortunately it is impossible to predict the timeline. As said before, there are a lots of "ifs" and "buts". We can only speculate. Based on my own timeline, I can say you got your AOR very fast, so it looks good. In general, a regular process should take now, in total, from 6 to 8...

You are correct. You just need to bring the passports relevant to the period of time related to your citizenship application. Meaning, the same ones you sent to CIC for your application.

Yes, that much is clear enough. But my doubt is about that part here: I mean... is it my decision? Is it imposed by some kind of rule?

For may applicants it is something like 35 days between the Test and the Oath.

This. But please note the emphasis on the "personal motor vehicle" part. You cannot use commercial transportation.

I second that.

Well... Kind of yes. There are a bunch... let's say... 10 or 15 dates... that are very important and crucial for Canadian history. You do need to memorize them.
