August 2014 Citizenship Applications

[Rossei]

I took the test on Feb 17. Officer said oath-taking likely to be in April. I tried to search for an oath-taking date in April on the CIC website - I found none so you might be right.

Since you said, I've checked just now and there is no ceremony till May 15 at London office.

Here is my experience;

I am working on a project, therefore I didn't get enough sleep last night (I skimmed through the discover Canada book, primary mode of study was practice questions). Note: Only trust discover Canada

1. I arrived 2 hrs early (test was 1:15pm) feeling tired and spent some time at the mall to pass the time.
2. We were led to a room where we were given instructions on filling out information on the scantron. After, we were given the test booklet.
3. Finished the test under 5 mins and went to the waiting room to be called for the interview.
4. 5 mins later, I was called by the interviewer into an office. The official told me her name but I was too tired to remember. (I scored 20/20)
5. My interview lasted for a minute or less. All she told me was present my passport, PR card, IDs and landing paper which I did. She asked of I have had any trip outside Canada since I landed (I said No). She flipped through the pages of my passport to confirm. After that, she scribbled some things in a document. Handed all my documents back to me and told me she's satisfied. Told me to expect my ceremony in 2- 4 weeks and greeted me goodbye. I said bye and went on my way.

Those oath ceremonies on CIC website may only be the public ones or incomlete list, for example, for Scarborough Office. there are only two ceremnies on 9th April 2015 on CIC website, but two applicants here got the invitation on 8th April and 10th April already!

Update:

As in my previous post, My wife and 2 minor children application had been forwarded to PSU for parentage verification. I am happy to report that the parentage was verified within 2 months of the application being sent to PSU and all 3 application have received FOSS clearance and my wife's application has gone for RCMP clearance. The files are in Transit to Saskatoon office. All this was ascertained from the AITP report I had requested at the beginning of March.
