So, has anyone who took their test in July received an invitation to take the oath this coming week. There are about a dozen ceremonies scheduled for next week in Ottawa. Will you be at any of them?

Thank you for your reply. I was just curious as the new system will be much stricter. They will look very closely at your movements during the 4 years that you are waiting to apply and of course you will have to keep a very accurate record of every trip you make out of the country. We even had...

Can I ask a question here? Why are you so concerned with becoming a Canadian Citizen, in such a hurry, if you are already thinking about not staying in Canada? One of the reasons for the changes and stricter rules with obtaining citizenship is to ensure that it is granted to people who intend...

We moved from the UK to Canada over 5 years ago from the UK. My spouse and I both had excellent credit history in the UK but non of it was transferable. Even though we had a very large sum of money in our bank account in Canada we struggled to get a credit card initially. The bank wanted to hold...

Try their website or the APP store. They are called FONGO these days, so try searching for that.

There is another free voip service, although you will need to provide a Canadian Address. http://www.freephoneline.ca I use this all the time and have an APP on my iphone

Our local office is Ottawa and timeline, from e-CAS is as follows. Hope this helps. 1.We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on February xx, 2013. 2.We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada...

We are taking ours with us and will sign it in front of the officer who sees us when we attend. It does not make it clear as to whether you sign it before, so we are taking no chances. That way they actually witness you signing it. Hope that helps.

When we received our letter inviting us to take the oath they also sent a form that you had to sign and take to the ceremony with you. This form contains the oath which you actually sign and date. The saying of the oath I assume is a formality as the form you sign is a legal document. I would...

Yes it is possible to have dual citizenship in the USA. This from the website travel . state . gov Dual Nationality Section 101(a)(22) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) states that “the term ‘national of the United States’ means (A) a citizen of the United States, or (B) a person...

There are lots of online Citizenship Practice tests available just try to Google for Citizenship Practice Test and take your pick. My best advice is to just keep reading the Discover Canada and learn it's contents. There is no short cut to learning about Canada. Good luck!

Hi OTTAWA2014, as I posted a little while back, we did test at the end of July and are going to Ottawa to take the oath on September 17th.

Hi, no, fortunately we didn't have to do a RQ. Good luck. They started processing our application in April 2013, after receiving it in February 2013, so hopefully you will be soon. Good luck!

There doesn't seem to be any logic in the processing order. It is to be hoped that there wasn't an issue with your application that requires a RQ to be completed. As it's been 2 months since your test I would certainly give them a call and ask if there is any information that they can give you...

We went to Ottawa on July 29th to take citizenship test and we have been informed our oath ceremony is on September 17th in Ottawa.

I just spoke with the CIC Call Centre and our Oath Ceremony is at the Ottawa office on Catherine Street, although there are no ceremonies listed on their website at this location yet for September. Good luck to anyone who is still waiting to hear.

Thank you, and no we didn't have to complete an RQ. We did keep a record of all of the trips we made outside of Canada and they just matched those up to the stamps in our passports on July 29th.

Good News! I checked the CIC website this morning and saw this message We sent you a notice on August 20, 2014 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on September 17, 2014 at 9:00 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official...
