    ... unless your spouse or common law partner is a Canadian Citizen and you live with him/her together abroad. This counts towards your resident requirement but NOT against your physical Canada-presence requirement for citizenship. So, for every day abroad you lose a day of physical presence you...

    Public intoxication in Nova scotia

    Go challenge it! The judge is not as mean as a police men/woman -who had a bad day- can be. Nobody can prohibit you from taking your meds to fight pain, as long as you not operating a vehicle or become a nuisance to the public. I once was fined by a CO (Conservation Officer) for some nuisance...

    TY, I'll let you guys know :) Somebody asked about a hidden agenda in the delay tactics. I don't think it is a hidden agenda but an agenda.

    Public intoxication in Nova scotia

    If you were only resting your injured foot you should challenge the ticket! Even if you had a few drinks. Did the police take a blood sample? If not, how can they judge how much you were intoxicated? Back-it up with your family doctors report about the injured foot... Don't just take every...

    citizenship test basis

    I want to recommend that you take the Study-guide Discover Canada with you to bed and put it under your pillow. If it happens, that you share your bed with your gf (or wife) and be surprised in 9 months, than remember, the surprise will be a Canadian Citizen by birth which does not have to take...

    How long between the test and the ceremony/oath? (Kitchener Office)

    I still believe they have full access (people reported being told the test scores!). It is a matter of who sits in front of the terminal. We are all humans; some are better, some are lazy, some are ingenious and even helpful (latter one is the minority, unfortunately). mike

    Speeding up processing (for some)

    If you get your test results right after the test you're good. If you didn't, than it depends on your local office and local schedule. You'll be given your test results -pass or fail- through the invitation to oath ceremony (or re-write test). When you call AND your decision has been made...

    Nope... New information: according to CIC help line it can now take up-to 6 months until you get notice after the test. We are among the unlucky ones who haven't been given test results right after the test. We wrote test early March and been told last week to call back in September for the...

    You see this the the unfairness in this whole screwed-up process! They told you that you passed, I (we) wrote test March 1st and I called last week and they hadn't even looked at our test as they could not give me the result. Sorry, this has nothing to do with you, it's about the process i am...

    The 25 months is a lower limit, or call it a dream. Ok, there are -very- few exemptions which underline the rule :) Even if you get your test within 25 months there's lots of opportunity to spent another FEW months waiting for the ceremony. We did our test on March first and waitin', waitin'...

    Do you know anyone, who has been waiting for Oath longer than 35 mnths by now?

    Well there's at least three senators under investigation. If i remember right Duffy was only the tip of the iceberg. I've heard a high representative of the PCP personally wrote the check to return Duffy's 'accidentally' received expenses. Well you'll find corruption in every government. At...
