    Yes indeed ;-) Compared to citizenship oath, few hundred bucks is nothing. We had our oath last Wednesday 16/11/2016 and we applied for passports this Monday 21/11/2016. For people not in rush, they only pay 160CAD for (adults) 10yrs passports and 57CAD for (kids below 18) 5yrs passports...

    you filed your tax income record simply because you were REQUIRED to file... This is talking about the required 4 years period in the PAST, NOT THE FUTURE dear I called immigration canada and asked about this, before I apply for citizenship. No worries.

    Valuable friends, We had our oath today morning (Wednesday 16 November 2016) at the Hellenic (Greek) cultural center in Montreal. The officer said we could present passport applications on Monday, as they needed two working days (Thursday and Friday) to process our names into the system. FYI

    I do totally agree with you. I myself do not know why is each case different than the other... I wish I knew What I heard is that years ago people used to wait a lot, from submission to oath, i.e. 2-3 years

    Hello dear, I am superhappy for you. It seems we have all gone through a similar tunnel- everything will be nicer for all of us as Christmas approaches.

    To my knowledge, they reduce your expectation and the invitation for oath comes sooner than what they tell you in the interview. According to law, they have only 60 days after the interview to DECIDE. In fact, I have no idea what a `security check` is, but I am sure it will not take 3 months...
