    References & Guarantor on Passport Application

    I don't think it's an issue as long as ( the references ) are not family members for you or your wife.

    Applying for citizenship with an expired passport

    Yes I have recently gotten the Canadian citizenship, I had no issue because of my expired passport. You can apply for citizenship with an expired travel document but you need to attach an explanation letter along with the application.

    I took the oath yesterday June 29th, officially became a Canadian citizen. I received the invitation letter on May 03 (sorry for not updating my status). The letter stated that the ceremony at 1030 am, but it started at 1100, lasted for less than an hour. The place was full of joy and...

    Test Date .....

    I think it's all about your local office and how fast they process the apps. Mine, it took me 4 months from IP to DM in Calgary. The processing time for the PR renewal i think 3 months these days. I suggest you to wait till July, if you don't hear from IRCC you should start working on your PR...

    Ya I was really surprised, I was thinking about you guys. But the thing is you do not know how things work these days there. I remember that we received the test letter almost at the same minute but your appointment was 2 weeks before mine and now I got the DM before you!! I hope you get yours...

    I guess nothing, just wait! I think your local office is Edmonton, right! Usually, it does not process the files fast, but the good thing I think you get the test and oath at the same day ( not too sure ). If you try to contact IRCC, they will tell you that the processing time is 12 months and...

    I'm a single applicant, it took 6 months to DM. I saw family apps moved faster than mine. In my opinion its all about where your app is and sometimes about the officer's mood

    I have just gotten home from the test and interview. Thank God I passed 19/20, most of the questions were pretty straightforward and some were twisted just to test your language. Again, you need to read the book at least 2 times to pass the test easily. Based on the experience I had today, I can...

    Call them as early as you can. I used to call them at 6am Calgary's time, I never got the message that agents are busy and cant direct your call.
