Citizenship Applications Delivered: October 16-20, 2017 (C6)

[razerblade]

Folks, I live in Mississauga & applied for Citizenship on Oct 17th 2017. My application started showing IP on Jan 11th 2018 and on April 3rd, I received a notification for Citizenship Test in Scarborough on April 16th.

Have other applicants that live in Mississauga also been sent for testing to Scarborough?

Thanks & regards,

Mohit

Yes, it's quite common.

Hey @gopr How was the oath? how long did it take to complete the whole ceremony and what documents did they check? Also the form that you received part of the invitation ceremony, there are two forms total I am assuming you have to sign. Did you sign it before or have to do it on site?

Hi everyone,

I'm at the following stage:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 16, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on January 26, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on February 28, 2018.

It appears a lot of people who submitted around the same day have progressed much faster than I have. Am I just unlucky one? Anyone still in In Progress?

Cheers,

Hey @gopr How was the oath? how long did it take to complete the whole ceremony and what documents did they check? Also the form that you received part of the invitation ceremony, there are two forms total I am assuming you have to sign. Did you sign it before or have to do it on site?

@leviathan_55 - It was more relaxed setting however I was anxious as you can understand.I got there 30 mins earlier than the time mentioned on the letter along with 2 of my guests.
Guests will be asked to go to the ceremony room first. Then they asked the applicants to line up,an officer checked if the 2 documents are signed (Oath letter/media info and the prohibitions forms) , then you go to one of the counters to check the invite and ID's+PR Card. They will take your PR Card right there, then give your assigned seat number to sit in the ceremony room. You will go to the ceremony room after that and do the rest of the process. The certificate will be issued to you individually by the judge in the order you were seated. It was a very moving event for me emotionally and I had pictures/videos taken by my spouse and friend who accompanied me - I suggest having a guest with you.
It took me 1.5 hrs from the time on the letter to exit from the building i.e. 10-11:30 am.

I signed my documents when I got into the waiting room before lining up.

Hope this helps and good luck

Did you check your inbox sometimes invite come by email,sometimes they send test invite before background check and yes you should call them after a couple days if you don’t hear from them.

I tried calling them all day and could not get through , does nay one know if I have to bring my passport with me ? and what else do I need ? Thanks

Yes take all your passports and the origin of all the documents you submitted including ID and PR card and proof of language.
