    Hi May applicants, This forum helped me so much, that I also need to share my citizenship test experience.

    I would strongly advise you to wait until you meet the requirements. I haven't heard any recent time when CIC granted citizenship to someone who hasn't met the minimum requirements. The judge will assess your request and CP5 on Residence gives some information on the assessment criteria: B -...

    Addresses in the past four years

    @ thecoolguysam Thank you very much for this summary, I will only include my Canadian address since my primary address was in Canada. I have another stupid question though, I was wondering whether sending my application in French or English would have any impact on how fast CIC will proceed...

    Addresses in the past four years

    Thank you chikloo, the only place I've rented was in Europe for the one month training. Do you think that I don't even need to include that one since it was less than a month and wasn't my primary residence? Thanks

    Thank you jhjeppe, it makes indeed sense to only include addresses where I lived for the last four years.

    Addresses in the past four years

    Hi Guys, This question might have been asked already but I'm about to send my application and I have a question regarding question 5C: "List all your Canadian and overseas addresses in the past four (4) years". For the past four years, I have been out of the country 5 times for no more than 6...

    Graduation seem to apply for certificate. Anyhow, if you successfully graduate from a secondary or post-secondary program conducted in French or English, and your are between 18 and 54 years old, the certificate should be enough as language proof. if you still have doubts on whether your...

    may 2015 applicants for citizenship

    If indeed C24 applies in June, my understanding is that whether CIC will review your file under old law or new law will depend on when they received your application. I don't think that they will only proceed with applications that have received AOR before the new law become effective. My guess...

    It's almost like buying your monthly transport card. You can still use it on the 30th but you will have to buy a new one on the 1st. your 1095 days will be completed the day after which means on your 1096 days of presence. The resident calculator only gives you the date when you reach the 1095...

    may 2015 applicants for citizenship

    I agree with Ahm, the section 10 clearly indicates that the application should be signed the day after you become eligible in order to fully meet the physical presence requirement. The risk is to see your application returned and you might have to wait another year if the 4 to 6 provisions...

    may 2015 applicants for citizenship

    I agree Jassi, if you have the exact dates and 100% sure, you should apply. I've also read somewhere in this forum that your application should be signed and sent the day after you're eligible, in your case it would be 13th May. It's maybe true or not, but it doesn't hurt to wait another day...

    I'm also going to be eligible on 12th May. Hope we will know by May when the new provisions will apply. If not, I will send my application on 15th May. The govt already applied some provisions of C-24 without weeks of notice, so better send your application right after YOU ARE SURE THAT YOU MEET...
