    If you have provided an e-mail to CIC and also received your AOR by e-mail, you will get the test invite from CIC. You should also check ecas regularly just in case as this will tell you when you have been issued a test invite. Also, you should not be panicking yet as it has not been more than...

    Benefits of being a Canadian

    That is a very loaded and very big question. My advice would be to do your own online research as this is a question that has no quick/easy answer. Here is a link to start with: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/learn-about-canada.html

    December 2018 - Citizenship Applications

    Just my guess, but I reckon it is because Peel Region is one of the largest regions in the GTA and also has one of the highest (if not the highest) number of immigrants.

    Driving Ticket and Citizenship Application

    Do not worry about this. As mentioned above, traffic tickets are not indictable offences and will not have any impact on your application.

    Long term travel -- what to do?

    Thanks for the reply! I applied in December 2018 in Kitchener. So based on other Kitchener applicants, my guess is that I will get my test invite around December 2019 which I will be able to make, since we are looking at leaving in January. Unfortunately, the January to May/June time frame is...

    Long term travel -- what to do?

    Hey everyone, A couple of friends and I thinking of going backpacking through Asia/Europe for what could be up to 6-8 months. At the same time, I really don't necessarily want to put off becoming a Canadian citizen and am willing to break away from the trip to attend my oath ceremony. So...

    Who can win federal Election, which party is good immigration

    Agreed. What I should have said earlier was that the Liberals reduced the processing time to an average of 12 months.
