Just that the applicant is up-to-date with one's tax-filling obligations.

I have nothing to complain about mine so far either. Sending from: Vancouver Mailed application: May 8, 2015 Received: June 1 at 10:34 AM ADT AOR (e-mail): July 23 at 9:40 PM ADT In Process: August 10 Test invitation: August 27 Test: September 16 Decision Made showed up on e-CAS: September 22

The friend I mentioned above is having her oath ceremony on October 22.

My friend from Ottawa is also attending her oath ceremony on October 22. She applied on December 12, 2014 and had her test on August 14.

It's because when they mail the new PR Card, they require you to destroy the old one (it's written in the letter that comes with it) — and you didn't do it. The old healthcare isn't within his powers or jurisdiction to do anything about it, but at least in BC they highly recommend you to...

They check the PR Card at the interview, but should give back to the applicant.

Anecdotal evidence, but my ex-husband and former in-laws are all former GC-holders and don't have any issues going in and out of the US, nor any questions asked about their former status (they all lost it for non-residency). Sometimes ex-husband would be asked about visiting Iran (he was born...

Congrats

Well, my signature does state that I'm in Vancouver. ;)

You two are correct that SIN for those who aren't PRs or Citizens start with 9. But it doesn't necessarily start with 5, so that bit of information you're providing is incorrect. I've had my SIN since November 2009, it's permanent, and starts with 7. ETA: I found something on Wikipedia about...

Immediately before I took the test, they said the timeline to oath after test was 3 to 5 months. At my interview the officer said two months, but I'll stick to the 3-5 months predicted. Some people who took their test back in April still haven't been invited for the ceremony, so...

[list] Mine has 4 pages. The first two are what you have there, the CIT 0023, the other two are English and French version of things to bring to the test in addition to what's asked in the CIT 0023. Perhaps it's something that only Vancouver is doing? Again, not my fault CIC is referring to...

Updated.

[list] The above list (that you're referencing to) is on the second page of my notice, but the one I was talking about with the additional information is on the third page. It's not my fault CIC listed only IMM 5292 without mentioning IMM 5688. :P

Confirmation of Permanent Residence, and Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program-General (i.e. not Academic) Listening and Speaking. Correct that they want to see the original passports, but they also ask for photocopies of the biographical pages of the passports for some reason.

Which is fine, but not required. For the application, only biographical and renewal pages are required. I photocopied all pages of all passports because I wanted to, but then again it was my call, and not required. For the test, they asked in the invitation letter once more for photocopies of...

They need to receive your son's PR Card in order to destroy it and mail you his citizenship certificate.

They ask for photocopies of the biographical pages, not of all the pages. I don't know why that is, but the Citizenship Officer doing my interview never took it, he only wanted to see my passport and check stamps. I had translations with me in case he needed it, but he didn't. It's a good idea...

I live in Vancouver, BC and forwarded my mail within the same city. It sucks, but I understand both sides. It should be fine in the end, though.

I'd be really careful with that. I paid for Canada Post's Mail Forwarding service when I went for a few week's vacation abroad (forwarding was to my friend's house) and they lost my NOA, MSFAA, CBSA report (that ended up being returned to CBSA)... None of my mail ever got to my friend, or to the...
