Some people here have asked for a CBSA report about exits and enterings to country. I am not sure how to apply for it, though. I also was missing some stamps for arriving to another country from Canada. So I printed my airline ticket for trips that showed the dates when I arrived to that other...

In your case, I don't think it has an effect on your application. I sent my application in January last year, and I renewed my passport in May or June last year. I didn't report CIC about the renewal of my passport, and it didn't even come to my mind then. When I had the citizenship test, I...

I agree. To the OP, if you are not staying in Canada, you don't need the Canadian citizenship.

They also scan permanent residents' PR cards at least on arrival to Canada. I don't know if they scan them when you leave Canada, I don't see that well behind the counter :P

Remember also this: The new regulations apply to spouses or partners in a relationship of two years or less and who have no children in common with their sponsor at the time they submit their sponsorship application. The spouse or partner must live in a legitimate relationship with their...

Me too.

Can I LOL now? :D :P

See my timeline below. I got to know about the oath date about 3-4 weeks after my test.

When I applied for citizenship, I didn't need a police certificate. Check the current requirements at www.cic.gc.ca

Some people have postponed their interviews, oaths etc. So if you get a letter that you have to go to an interview or whatever, let them know that the date is not good for you. Then the next time it might be as much as a year later. But if you are gonna live in Canada, why get a US green card...

congrats!

I got my PR in Nov 2009. I sent my citizenship application in Jan 2012. Between that time frame I traveled once to my country of origin and once to the US. And I traveled once to my my country of origin after I had sent my citizenship application. Never got an RQ.

Yes, it was really good. Faster than I expected. I studied a lot for the exam for not having any delays. Failing the exam was not an option for me...

Haha, well there you had a choice ;) I still think that you made the right one.

It is enough. But there are many ways for studying for the exam. You can read the book, download the book as an app, listen to the book in audio files, do practice tests online etc. It was very useful for me, and kept studying interesting. When I got tired of the book, I went online. When i was...

Exactly. The citizenship thing is so important that I would have cancelled almost anything instead of the exam, to be able to appear in the exam. I was actually becoming sick when I wrote the exam, but I thought that no matter what, I will go to the test. It would not matter if I would have to...

We are not allowed to tell about the test questions. Just do practice tests and read the book well and you will do fine. Besides, you might not get the same test as we anyway.

I sent my application right after I was able to. It was 1,096th day or something. Did not get an RQ.

I also was surprised that the exam was more difficult than I expected. My friends who had done it before a few years ago said "oh it is so easy". But you never know. You might get easy questions or not. To everyone going to the test: study hard, use all kinds of material for studying (the book...

Well, hope that things will be better. When I sent my application, the expected time to getting a citizenship was 18 to 19 months or something like that...
