Yes, take all of them. I had similar situation 2 and 3rd is very old/expired. Since I mentioned it on my application so took it with me. The officer wanted to see it I told them it’s very old and expired and they said, “ok, I just want to double check, just in case”

So if you have mentioned that passport in your application then take it.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
But did you mention any passport in the main application form which are not within the last 5 years?
I did not mention one old passport which was not withon the last 5 years before application.
What to do about that one?

If you have not mentioned it. It’s irrelevant. Do not mention it during the interview or else you will confuse the officer!

Simply put, they just want to verify your passport stamps and will tick mark corresponding entry on your online calculator which they have.

Waiting is not the best thing now, especially you are talking about almost 5 months. Don't listen to the call center's agents, most of them are not well trained. You need to take an action. Have you tried to contact your MP?, it was helpful for some people. Some other people reapplied and got the AOR for the second application. I really feel sorry for you, Some Oct applications received their citizenship.

Hello everyone,

My citizenship test was yesterday. There were 50 people in total.

The test was way different than online quizzes and tests available. But it was easy if you have read the book couple times. Some questions were common sense. The test is confidential and we can’t really share the contents of it. Bottom line is don’t rely on online tests tests only. If you read the book you absolutely don’t need to do online tests.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks! Do you think the remembering specific "dates/years" are improtant from the book?
Wouldn't be possible for me just reading the book and remembering dates.

The online tests were crucial for me remembering these things.

All depends on how one learns.

I see a change in Citizenship Ceremonies schedule for Calgary, some more added in April and two on May 02, 2018. And I think this is added today on March 15th: HD Cartwright School.

So good news on the way for all DMs! :D

I thought we will get some good news from them since we have 10 days after DM from Calgary but when I check my Ecas is still the same hope we will see something tomorrow

No that is not correct. They are one more line will inform you that the sent the letter to came for Oath. Like the one line for test?Interview. So still Ecas need some update
