    Citizenship Application processing timeline disparities

    I agree with all in that this is a pointless thread, but just for the sake of not scaring others reading it, you can be unemployed and have horrible credit and still get your citizenship. They won't be factors. At all.

    Finger prints request

    Any assertion that the FP request in and of itself is a setback is erroneous. The only delay would come from your own in not getting it done in a timely manner or a negative result. As for where to get it done, make sure you get one that doesn't make you send the results to CIC yourself. They...

    English eligibilty test

    I'm a little confused. If your son finished grade 12, you should be able to just get a transcript from the school(s) he attended for the entire duration, grade 9-12.

    US Travel for new Canadian citizen

    I've recently used my certificate at the land crossing. You won't have a problem with that. Don't present it with your Indian passport, though.

    October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

    I think what you mean is that some have suggested that once your ECAS status has changed to Complete, you should be okay to apply. It can happen same day or the day after, so you could theoretically go to a passport office and give it a shot.
