congrats man, whats your timeline?
 
Hi,

I attended the Oath Ceremony, you may highlight me as completed. The background check was Fingerprints, they requested Dec 10th and got test date on Jan 10th. The Oath invitation was sent to me on Mar 10th, the reason for the delay in Oath, I informed local office during test that I will be gone for vacation during March Break (actually they asked the test takers if we were?)

Regarding Physical presence, I took a risk but knew my exact dates.... I applied with 1095 days.

Torontarian You may use the above info to fill the excel sheet....

We are still not done with CIC, my wife will be applying mid April...... so will relive the process again ;)

Keep it up and Good Luck to all.
