    Stamp Translation Related question

    I just want to remind everyone that you only need worry about stamps on your passport that are within the 4 year period preceding the date of your citizenship application; anything older you do not need to worry about. As for translation, if the stamp clearly mentions in ENGLISH: entry/exit...

    What if some entry / exit stamps not clear or shady ?

    If the "shady" stamp on your passport is more than 4 years preceding the date of your citizenship application, then you do not have to worry about it. But if it is within the 4 years, then as torontonian2003 mentioned above, you may want to order your travel record from CBSA. (In my personal...

    Re: test at scarborough office You timeline is similar to mine. By the way, it was not "judge" that you met with after your test for the interview, it was just a citizenship officer!

    Scarborough office / timeline after test

    I am just patiently waiting and trying not to think about when Pinky is going to show up in the mail. Just going about daily life. I have been in Canada about 12 years, waiting a couple months for Pinky is no big deal. ;)

    current NB/fredericton applications

    I doubt there are too many people applying for Citizenship from Fredericton. The few that do may not even be on this forum. I myself went to UNB Fredericton, was there for 6 long years...And then moved to Toronto in 2009.
