Hi everyone,

I passed the citizenship test in July 2022 and now I've received invitation to an online interview. Any idea on how it works, the questions and what documents they're gonna need from me?
Appreciate any ideas,

they want to see your passport(s) and drivers licence. I was surprised coz they wanted to see blank pages from my passports. I guess they wanted to check if I understand English . they also asked me if I work and that the oath invitation will be sent to me within 4 months but they are dealing with the as quickly as possible;

Thanks for the reply.
Do you know if it is a normal step you think or should I be concerned?

Prepare for the citizenship test and interview

With IRCC you literally never know what they will do lol but basically, anyone who is 18-54 can be called In for an interview, and they will ask you anything most likey random questions to see if you understand and can speak EN or FR, they might just have a random conversation with you. and then send you on your way. nothing to be worried about for sure.

Good Luck

Hi Onkar112,
I see that you've been "Requested to Submit Scanned Copy of all pages of Passport" right after the test. Have you been invited for an interview as well? I've passed the test in July but received the request for the scans and the interview today. Everyone I know went from the test to the ceremony straight, no interviews.

Thank you so much. I got worried because basically everyone I know didn't have an interview.

An interview doesn't necessarily mean your application has issues. In most cases interviews just are just document checks.

The officer in my interview was very nice. Just checked my ID and asked me about what I do. Asked me abt visits to US (briefly).
The interview lasted 3 mins. Officer told me that she'll approve my application and the next step is oath.

I was told to expect an oath invite in 4-8 wks. Waiting game now
