You are usually asked before the ceremony if you have any travel plans within 14 days of the oath because that's what it usually takes to get the certificate. If you cannot postpone your trip, you should postpone the ceremony.

Yes!

I just got my passport and citizenship cert in one package. Total time since mailing approx. 5 weeks. I'm really happy that it went so fast, and it seems the system occasionally rewards people who don't cheat to get the passport faster.

They called a reference.

You have a really good rent price at the moment, ideal to save as much as you can. It is really hard to find anything move-in ready under a million in GTA and surroundings. Beware of townhouses, as they are often managed by strata which adds monthly fees you cannot really control, so on top of...

They only asked how long they knew me and what is our relationship.

I applied by mail 10 days ago. My credit card was charged yesterday and today one of my references was called. I'm very surprised how quick this is going. Keeping my fingers crossed for fast processing.

Change your driving licence, then apply. Or use your health card. The ID needs to be issued by Canadian federal or provincial government.

Glad you got it! This whole guarantor thing is so obsolete and discriminatory.

I had my ceremony yesterday and my tracker still shows Citizenship Test as Not Started. Only one thing shows as Complete. I'm not worried at all.

I got my GCMS notes today and only prohibitions and physical presence are completed. I passed my test 6 weeks ago and it shows in the GCMS, but no movement ever since and no updates when I check the status online. Vancouver office is moving very slowly.

Me and my husband. We completed the test more than a month ago. Still shows as not started and no updates since August.

Guys, is it normal not to have any updates after passing the test? It has been a month and it still shows as Not Started.

Some offices are seriously slow. My husband and I have AOR on 2 August, processing started in September. We passed the test a month ago still says Not Started for the test (and Oath of course), everything else is In Progress. :( They even haven't updated my mailing address despite my update, it...

I got AOR two months before yours, no updates when I log in online. Meanwhile, I got the test invite (Vancouver office) and passed the test 10 days ago, but still no update online, even the test says not started. Nothing to do, except maybe order GCMS notes and go with the flow.

Hi! I just took my test and forgot to email myself a copy of the results. Is it important to have this or it is just for personal records?

My application was delivered on 2 May and I haven't seen an update on my file since August (ghost update). Everything is still in progress, no test invite. I wonder why it takes so freaking long, so many people are already done from this cohort.

Same here.
