After exactly 9 months and 13 days, my dream of becoming a Canadian citizen has come true. It was a beautiful ceremony at Government House, the official residence of the Lt. Governor of Nova Scotia in Halifax. 27 new Canadians from 13 countries took the oath today, administered by the Lt...

Congratulations. My ceremony is tomorrow (July 16). So excited!

Looks like this thread has died out. Just for closure's sake (since I posted in October 2014)... my journey ends in a little over a week. October 2, 2014 to July 16, 2015... 9 months and 14 days from start to finish.

Just different locations, that's all. Government House is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor (and the Royal Family, when they visit Nova Scotia). Here is where you can see the dates and locations: http://www.cic.gc.ca/citcer/search-recherche-eng.aspx

Thank you!

Got my invitation for July 16 at Government House in Halifax! :D

I am happy to report that I received my Oath invitation today for July 16, 2015 in Halifax. After a long 9 months, I can stop checking my ecas status daily ;D (By the way, there is no mention of the Oath invitation on ecas)

I finally got my Oath invitation letter today. Yes!!! No mention of it on my ecas by the way.

Congratulations Karthicbaboo!! You must be so excited! Unfortunately I haven't received anything in the mail. ECAS says "Decision Made" but nothing else. When was your letter mailed? Did your ECAS status change? Hopefully I get something soon. Fingers crossed. I saw they have a ceremony on...

Hi karthicbaboo. Looks like we will be invited for the next oath ceremony in Halifax (most likely in August)! Too bad we couldn't get in to the Canada Day ceremony at Pier 21...

Today, my ecas status changed from "In Process" to "Decision Made". No further details are available regarding an invitation for the oath ceremony. Hopefully soon!

That's great! Hope all goes well. At my interview, they mentioned that there will be an oath date in June and one on Canada Day at the new Pier 21 Immigration Museum in Halifax. You have a good chance to have your oath there!

Thanks thecoolguysam, and I agree with you 100%, reading the Discover Canada guide is an absolute must.

Just took my test today in Halifax, scored 20/20. The questions are not difficult, but you would definitely need to read the Discover Canada Guide to know all the answers. The interview was smooth too. I was told it could be a few weeks before I get an oath invitation.

I think you will hear from them soon. My local office transfer was in December, and I got my invite in April. I just took my test and had my interview today in Halifax. You might get a test date within a couple of weeks too.

I have lived in Canada since 2009, initially on a work permit. According to the current rules, days lived in Canada prior to receiving permanent residence (ie on work permit, or as a student) count as 1/2 days towards the residency requirements of 1095 days for applying for citizenship.

Yes, my ecas was updated with a line saying that a letter was sent to me inviting me to appear for the test, and that if I did not receive it before the test date, I should contact CIC. I saw the Ecas update on the same day that I got the letter in the mail.

Yes, my ecas was updated with a line saying that a letter was sent to me inviting me to appear for the test, and that if I did not receive it before the test date, I should contact CIC. The update was done within the last two days, because when I checked my ecas two days ago, there was no update...

I got my notice to appear for the Citizenship test today! It sure was nice to see the brown envelop waiting for me in my mailbox! ;D
