My timeline is the same as layyah, except I first sent the application June 2011, and I took test (10:30pm) and oath (1:30pm) February 5, 2013.

When I had to answer a similar question in which I had visits too frequent to list each one, I instead gave a table with "type of visit" (for example, shopping trip), "frequency" (for example once a week), "duration of trip" (for example 6 hours), and period (for example, March 2010 to present)...

I never got an RQ, so I don't have a lot of experience. However, my gut feeling is, don't send anything that they don't ask for. The extra papers may be discarded, and/or it may raise a red flag that they need to scrutinize your application more heavily. If the application specifically states...

Its hard to say if they are consistently doing the same day thing in Calgary. They did it on Feb 5, but everyone I know who took the test before then had to take the test and wait. I'm hoping that its a permanent change for everyone in Calgary, and that other offices soon adopt the same model...

I can't remember specifically how long it was "in process". I know it was "in process" for a long long time. At the time I applied, somewhere it said the whole process takes 12 months. So I was really worried when 18 months had gone by. A friend of mine (who became a citizen about 6 months...

Just because the laws allow for unethical abuse, doesn't mean its okay for people to be abusers. I agree that the laws should be changed. I also think this abuse of the current law is unethical. I want Canadian citizens to be people living in Canada. I want Canadian children to be receiving...

I'm pretty sure I filled mine out with black pen and had no difficulties (took the oath 2 weeks ago). "Print in ink" means with a pen, "type" means with computer or typewriter. Do people still have typewriters?

Thank you for the kind congratulations! I was skiing at Lake Louise, and someone asked me if I was Canadian, and I said no, then I realized that this was no longer true and said yes. Its the first time I got to answer that question positively. It was kind of nice! I applied for citizenship...

I have not heard that they do it same day in Scarborough. If your test is at 1pm, then I doubt the oath ceremony is the same day, because it usually starts 3 hours afterwards. When its not the same day, the waiting period after the test (before the ceremony) is 1-2 months, so being gone for a...

The documents we were supposed to bring was confusing. There was a "generic" list of documents on a CIC form, and another list of documents on another paper which must have been included from the Calgary office specifically. That paper also included info about the oath ceremony telling me to...

I arrived at 10:15. (The letter said to arrive at 10:30). The exam started at 11:16. It was over in 30 minutes. If you have the oath ceremony the same day, you'll be asked to wait 5 or 10 minutes to see if you passed, then you are dismissed. If you don't have it the same day, you can...

Hi I've never posted here before, but I did a bit of reading in this forum hoping to find out what happens when you have a citizenship test/oath all in one day. I couldn't find anything ,so I thought I was post this in case anyone is interested like I was. I had my citizenship test and oath...
