    New Canadian Citizen - changing middle name and last name after marriage

    Mulher, que surpresa te ver por aqui. :P Vou te dar um oi no Facebook depois. You'd have to legally change your name through the province, nothing to do with CIC now. And then change all the documents.

    Home province citizenship by descent

    If you're a full-time student during the academic year (e.g. September-April for post-secondary), then that time doesn't count toward the residency requirement. You'd have to stay out of school for the year or be a part-time student.

    Home province citizenship by descent

    For financial aid I believe you have to have resided in the province for 12 months continously prior to applying; that's what I was required to, but perhaps it'd be different since you weren't raised here? Otherwise I'd just believe you have to live here for 12 months before becoming eligible...

    piece of ID

    Both passport and PR Card have the person's pictures in it, so yes. When I sent in my application, I sent in photocopy of passport, PR Card, and health card (the old one did not have a picture, the new one does). All good.

    Vancouver Oath Timeline after Test/Interview

    Just wait and see. Calling CIC frequently (I read your other posts) only adds up to your anxiety; the officer already gave you as much information as they have: test will be scheduled at some point, you gotta wait, there's nothing you can do right now other than waiting. They may take a while...

    Test on the 28th, Liberal Government Changes

    On October 28th the current PM will still be Harper. Trudeau will take office later on. Some questions may be outdated in the test because of the ongoing/recent changes; I had one that was very much outdated but I answered according to what is in Discover Canada and got it right.

    Test on the 28th... Some questions I have...

    There's no dress code for the test as far as I know. Everybody was very casual when I went in for my test. For mine, not at all. I took with me what was required in the list, but they only checked COPR, PRC, passports, and language proof.

    Yes. He asked a few questions about how often I travel to the US (including day trips) and how often I travel to my country of birth. That's it. He also apologized for asking about day trips - which I thought was kinda funny - after I informed him that I had listed all my day trips in the...
