Likely it's this one. When did your friend take test?

I used these videos for my study too. I found the history and how Canadians govern themselves are the two chapters most useful to us. They explained how Senate and MPs work very well.

Congrats!! When in July is your oath?

Just for those whose countries accept your second citizenship, there's a way to go to US, if you have a valid US visa or do not need one to enter, and come back to Canada without a Canadian passport, if you can't get it in time...

Look at me as an example. I took my test on April 22. I have a 3 day conference from July 8-10. I'm worried about this trip too. Debated for a long time then declined the conference travel award, because I couldn't make decision by their deadline. It wasn't easy to get this money.. I will wait...

Yes. Test invite never appeared in my ecas. I already gave up checking ecas now.. This forum is more reliable. I count my day whenever I see a Vancouver applicant gets oath invite. Seems people who took test around end of March start to get invites.

Congrats!!!! Could you share your timeline and local office please? Thanks!!

Our timeline is very similar, see my signature line. Please keep us updated!!

So I declined my travel award. $700 USD gone.

Hey Sam! Just want to let you know..For a while I thought about the Canada Day oath thing. I had a slight doubt that there will be more ceremonies than usual days, because it's a holiday after all. More ceremonies means more working hours for CIC staff. Anyways, I searched and found a news...

Only 10 days notice.. It's impossible to make travel plans, even just a few days travel. Dang it!

Congrats and so happy for you!! Asagalen welcome back!

So ANOTHER email from CIC? Could you share the timeline and local office please? Thanks a ton!

Thank you all for your reply. I am aware of that *interesting loophole* for some time. But I will not risk it or take any chances. I'm not sure if my oath will be before, during or after my conference. I will just wait till this Wednesday, if nothing happens, I will let the conference organizers...

My conference is in US, and I have a valid US visa on my Chinese passport. But if my oath is before the conference, according to what you've said, this renders my passport no longer valid. If I must decide, I would think oath is more important than the conference. I can always attend next year.

I'm a Chinese citizen and passed my test, hopefully will take oath soon around Canada Day. I also have a conference trip abroad around that time. I'm aware I will no longer have Chinese citizenship after becoming a Canadian. However, if my oath happens shortly before my trip, I will not have...

Nope. Another paper deadline today. No time to worry about this..

My conference is in US. My Chinese passport has a valid US visa. Do you mean US airplanes would allow people to board without a PR card? Once taken the citizenship of another country, I don't think a Chinese can legally travel with a Chinese passport. I would not want to take any chances with...

Thanks Sam and garian4u for both of your advice. I definitely will not reschedule oath. I thought of using the extra money to buy a ticket back to Vancouver if the oath clashes with the conference. However, if I take oath right before the conference, and if I don't have enough time to apply...

Geeeez my transfer line disappear too! Now I have receive line, AOR line, and start processing line. What the heck is going on?
