I got my oath invitation today via email. The oath is scheduled on January 16th, 2019. I submitted my application in January 2018 and it took almost a year to complete the journey. I am glad that it is finally over.

V-soul and Richmond are the most useful ones from my experience.

I had two names and one date questions in my test. One of the name questions is not on the online tests. Studying the book is the best way to go. I probably read the book 10 times, did a few online tests, made notes, and spent 40 hours on it across two weeks. You don't need to study that much to...

I did my test and interview in Fredericton yesterday on Nov 22 and got Decision Made at 8 AM today on Nov 23. During the interview, I had a little chat with the officer. The reason it took us so long for the test invite (I am a January applicant) is because the Fredericton office currently only...

Do we need to remember all the names? I find that names are harder to remember than dates.

Thank you all for providing some useful information. I wanted to provide some updates after doing some research. There is an insurance called "Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR)." This type of insurance gives you up to 50% of reimbursement for any reason of cancellation. For example, CAA's CFAR costs...

Hello, I have applied for the citizenship. My husband and I are planning to go to a trip. The trip will cost us about $6000 nonrefundable. I am looking into purchasing interruption/cancellation travel insurance in case that the citizenship exam/oath is scheduled during the trip. I have...

I had a green card and lived in the states for 8 years. My husband accidentally had my green card in his passport when he drove across the border by himself. The US officer swiped my green card but noticed that it was not him. They did not cancel the green card swipe and that entry was entered...

If I already know for sure that I will get a RQ, can I just send all the credit cards statement, employment, salary documents, phone call documents, doctor appointment documents in the initial package? I think it will reduce the amount of time that they issue a RQ to me and I respond to them...

How far does the visitor status count before the application date? I have visited Canada as a visitor in 2000 for a month and I became a PR in 2014. I am planing to submit my application in Jan, 2018. Does the month I stayed in Canada in 2000 count?

Your comments speak out all of my concerns and wonders. I agree that I would probably just have to acknowledge the discrepancy and provide evidence of my presence in Canada. I guess I would be categorized as a "non-routine" application and wait for a very long time to be processed. A small...

walktheline, Mazcar, and dpenabill, Thank you all for your detailed and helpful reply. I haven’t applied for the Canadian citizenship but would soon be eligible once the 3/5 takes effect this fall. I am gathering my traveling information and calculating my residency days in Canada. I no longer...

I think the chance that they will get surveillance camera to check is really low.... If the travel record does not get corrected, do I have any options to minimize the problems or impacts? Do I need to enter that exit date as it appears on my travel record for my resident calculations for CIC...

I can't use i94.cbp.dhs.gov to check my travel record because I had a green card. I94 only deals with visas. The green card was inside of my husband's passport by accident (we put all travel documents together in a zipper bag). When he drove to the US without me to pick up mail from US po box...

Hello, I have applied for a travel entry and exit report via Canada Border Services Agency and received the report. However, there was an error on the report. The report said that I have entered U.S. on April 17 (meaning that I have left Canada), however, I did not leave Canada on that date. I...

dpendabill, thank you for your detailed information. For the police certificate, do we need to provide the newest certificate? I was in the US in 2014 and applied for a couple of FBI police certificates with the results dated in Nov, 2014. Can I use those official certificates for the...

Thanks! But I was not asking if they will get rid of police reports. I was asking if currently FOUR year before the application outside of Canada will be changed to three years outside of Canada before the application. My logic is that since it will be changed from 4/6 to 3/5, the prior years...

Hello, I am wondering if the requirement for police certificate will be changed after C6 is implemented. Currently if we were present for a total of 183 days or more in the four years immediately before the date of our application, we will need to provide police certificate from each country we...

I landed on Nov 11 but I haven't gotten the PR card. On the CIC website, the processing time is 33 days. It has been more than 33 days since I landed. Have you gotten your card yet?

Guys, I was wondering once I land with my COPR and wait for my PR card, can I leave and fly back to Canada with COPR and Passport? I am from a visa exempt country and I have an open work permit valid until June 2015. Should I fly back to Canada with copr or with work permit? Or can I travel...
