April 2020 - Citizenship Applicants
- Thread starter prudhvi
- Start date
Congratulation! I wonder whether your daughter and you have been in the same application?
That's strange, you should have received a notification that your test has been scheduled. The test link is sent on the day your test should commence which in this situation is October 29th, 2021.
I received mine less than 48 hours before the first day I was eligible to take the test. But you actually don't need the email. As of the first date you are eligible to take the test, the link at the bottom of this IRCC page should work for you: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-test/online.html
Has anyone here gone through an interview? I've been asked to appear for an online interview next week but I am outside Canada at the moment. Does anyone know what is asked in an interview, what docs I need to have, and if they allow to take the online interview from outside Canada?
I came across this post by someone who was approved to take it outside of Canada: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/online-citizenship-test-completed-waiting-for-next-steps.716627/post-9772621 but I'd like to gather some more information before I decide to request to take the interview from outside.

So I was scheduled for oath-taking on Oct 20, and did not receive any email at all! I called the call centre on Oct 18 and 19, and finally got the email less than 24 hours before my schedule, which was nerve wracking lol.
My tracker has been updated to completed today

October 26, 2021 - Your citizenship application status: closed.

I'm hoping my certificate arrives soon, as I made plans to leave the country Nov 6 lol. Anyone know if you need a special reason to apply for urgent passport, or can you just do it as long as you pay the fees?

please reply!
for those of you who were asked to send copies of passport pages; was this communication also marked in your online account? I mean, did your application status tell anything about requesting your passport pages? I'm asking this because I'm worried about missing the email ...

Today I received email from IRCC for my citizenship test invite. Passport copies and stamp translations request is in the email attachment in the last section "Important Notice: Document Request". This request does not show in my account. Hope this helps.
We are in Newfoundland. Unfortunately my wife doesn't drive or have a provincial Id. I was told it would take two weeks to get a Id and my wife's ceremony is in a few days. In Newfoundland we don't have a picture on our health card. My wife has her home country passport with a American visa for 10 years, that has a her picture on it, not sure if that would help. The only other thing would be her pr card.
