Re: How long between the test and the ceremony/oath Test written Mar 1st, 2013 Ottawa office, no response yet. Same for one of my colleagues. Mike

Pay again, months or quarter end you'll get a refund. The system will flag overpayment. Make a copy of the receipt before you send it! I make a copy of everything I sent to government, bank, insurance, always... Mike

When you check online use your Client ID, which is your PR card number xxxx-xxxx Mike

Client ID, which is your PR card number was the only which worked for me and my wife. Mike

... Don't forget the fact, that some of us have been asked to provide their fingerprints 3 times. Mike

That is great news, thanks for sharing. This is just a little bit over 4 weeks from taking the test to oath. I took test March 1st so if everything goes well I can expect the oath invitation letter second week of April and oath early May. This is great news... Mike

Yes, same day, Feb 11. But again, that might well be only a reporting change. Mike

Yes, you are most likely right. Thanks for the explanation. Mike

My wife sent her application on Feb'4. Here's her status update (status was changed online yesterday or today, I am checking every two days). We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on February 11, 2013. We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your...

Count me in on this! This will be the third thing I will sign after I get citizenship; with #1 being the citizenship certificate and #2 my new Canadian passport... The issue I have with the current process is that not all monkeys are treated the same way. Some get bananas some get the skins and...

You are a pretty good Canadian... Mike

...why am I struggle to believe the 'good' news. Well, let's see, 'hope' is what dies last! Mike

In your Case, i think yes. You have a fair point about unfair treatment. Talk to Mary Chad about the reporter. His contact was listed here in forum about a month ago. He's from Toronto. Mike

Go see your MP immediately, write up a report to this reporter mentioned in the forum. This is a case to make it into the news. It basically shows that the CIC employees did nothing with your case during the past 23 months or did a major mistake which you have to pay for. This is far from being...

Mary Chad, If you do not work in a government related (funded) institution you are a victim of discrimination. Every PR has the right to work and live anywhere in Canada. Only government funded institutions can choose to yield Canadian citizen for certain jobs. Any other company cannot just make...
