    October 2016 - Citizenship Applicants

    I took the test 32 days ago. Despite the immigration officer explicitly saying " I am approving your application" e can still says In Process. I was under the same impression that DM shows immediately (My wife who passed the test with me got her DM next day). Then someone here kindly...

    Thanks canadavan for the consolation. I wish we both hear from them soon. Sometimes the weight doesn't feel like few more weeks (or even months) waiting. Instead you start feeling the weight of the years since one embarked on that road altogether ! And by that 'start' I don't mean the day I...

    October 2016 - Citizenship Applicants

    My city office is Vancouver. I phoned CIC once already: they said the file is 'proceeding well' and is still within normal delays. I guess this is the standard reply. With such processes (grant of citizenship) only patience can help ... until you are past the 'normal' delays which can be 6...

    It's 4 weeks, tomorrow, after my test (Th. Jan 26th), e cas status is still IP. My wife had status changed to DM Jan 27th (up until yesterday she hadn't received Oath letter yet) Hopefully completing the final (two?) rounds of security checks won't be a lengthy process. I have to admit I am...

    Thank you for the information. I was mentally already in the "oath letter" land until this valuable input of yours. Hopefully the paranoid checking of the mailbox stops, and even more hopefully the checks come in OK. Thanks again

    I never knew that there were security checks after taking the citizenship test ! I thought the test was the last step ::) Good luck with your application nevertheless.

    Thank you very much. The test was easier than I expected. I attended a 2 day workshop from a settlement helping agency. I first attended it two years ago, and refreshed my memory doing the same workshop on the two evenings prior to the test day. Best preparation methods? The Discover Canada...

    While my internviewer told me explicitly : you passed the test, you fulfill the requirements, I'll approve your application, my wife's interviewer said the only week point in your application is that you only have 4 days beyond the minimum of 1460. I hope its just me splitting hairs here and...

    October 2016 - Citizenship Applicants

    I passed the test and the interview this morning. The officer told me that she approved my application as I fulfil the requirements. For my wife though, they were a bit iffy as her physical presence in Canada is just 4 days beyond the required 1460. But obviously (and thankfully) this doesn't...

    So it turned out your suggestion was correct imran01. Got the letter in mail December 24 (strangely enough on a Saturday for the first time ever since I arrived in Canada!) I did the fingerprints as required on December 27 waiting to see what's next. Thanks again for the reply imran01. Wish...
