    August 2018 Application

    They’ve closed down, and getting transcripts or diploma takes 2-3 months. My appointment is tomorrow, but thanks for the suggestion. I don’t see it being a big issue really but wanted to see if someone here has had any experience with that part of the interview.

    August 2018 Application

    That’s what I was thinking regarding the CoPR letter. Definitely bringing my PR card. It has got to have more weight IPO, but can’t prepare enough for these things. I also sent my original certificate (I know, big mistake), but I have receipts of school payments which I’m thinking of bringing...

    August 2018 Application

    Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding the interview: First off, concerning the documents we need to present, I don’t have my CoPR as I gave that to the CBSA agent at the border when I flagpoled to become a PR. Is this an issue? Secondly, when I applied, I sent original transcripts of...

    Mods, can you please update sheet? I’m on line 86. It seems as though I’m one of the first applicants from Vancouver who are starting to get test dates. Glad to see progress is happening for BC applicants.

    August 2018 Application

    Does anyone here know or has had experience traveling while waiting for their citizenship? I'm thinking about doing a day trip to Seattle for the long weekend, but not sure if this would delay the application process and would rather be safe.

    August 2018 Application

    Single applicant from Vancouver. Application sent: Aug 8th Application received: Aug 13th. I am all for patience but nearing the 3-month mark to receive AOR, makes me wonder if it's common nowadays for it to take this long? Looking at the sheet i notice it would average between 1.5-2 months...

    Thanks for the encouragement and for your thoughts. It's been a long journey since I first set my eyes on immigrating (14 years ago), so with this being the last step, I'm more than anything excited at finally being able to hold my own Canadian passport. :)

    August 2018 Application

    Hi fellow applicants, Want to triple check here: receiving AOR confirms that your application has been indeed submitted properly? and that your minimum days required for physical presence are accepted as well? I applied with 1098 days and I know the minimum is 1095 but being so close to the...

    August 2018 Application

    Hi fellow Aug applicants! My two sisters and I sent our applications together. We have a couple of questions: 1) Do you think CIC would process them faster because we are a familiar unit (siblings)? I know they will be processed as single applications, just wondering if they would be processed...

    August 2018 Application

    Hi fellow applicants! Anyone have news as to where CIC is with applications? I sent my application from Vancouver on Aug 9th with 1095 days as PR. I know they received it Aug 13th, so it's been a month now and still no AOR. Do we know what the expected or average time is for AOR? Also, what...
