    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    So, I took my Oath yesterday afternoon with 90 other new citizens. My test date was June 2. It took approximately 40 Minutes for the staff to confirm everyone's identity, check the invitation letter and collect the PR-Card. At the same time, we had to sign for our approval that pictures might be...

    Decision Made after Test?

    After my status changed to "Decision Made" only a few days after I took the test on June 2, then switched back to "in process" a week later, it now shows "decision made" again, however no additional detailed entries appear - the last entry is the invitation to the citizenship test. I received my...

    What's "Income tax filing obligation" under the new rules?

    I would agree. There is a difference between the "resident status for tax purposes" and the resident status for immigration purposes. I got "landed immigrant" status in 2010 but only stayed for approx. 2 weeks and finally moved for good in 2011, so I only had to file taxes starting 2011 onwards...

    Nine Things You Need to Know About the Changes to Canadian Citizenship

    Crimesinister, I try to stay away from the entire discussion as I don't understand all the aspects of the concern and don't want to get into all the details right now (e.g. whether it applies to PR in the process only or as well to citizens after, etc.). However, there is one thing that really...

    I think I have mentioned it already earlier but just wanted to point this out again for anyone waiting on the test invites: Looking at the most recent test invites (and abidcro is the most recent example), the "# Days app Rec to Test Notification" is really dropping which each new entry.

    Decision Made after Test?

    This might just be a strange setup in the status screen (i.e. sequence of the entries). As per the CIC guidance, "decision made" can mean one of the following (quote): You will be notified by mail about the decision on your citizenship application. If you meet the requirements, you will be...

    Proof of Citizenship urgent

    Sorry, Maybe I am reading your post wrong but you are looking to get a proof of citizenship (i.e. certificate), not a grant of citizenship, right? If so, the previous reply regarding "intent to reside" is not accurate. On the website, they state that the current processing time for proof of...
