!!!!!!!!!!! HELP HELP HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote my test on July 23rd 2015 and passed with 20/20.

TODAY I received a letter of request for supplementary evidence, asking for Entry-Exit records from USA.

I know there is a stamp missing on my passport when I left USA and entered Canada once. During the interview, the officer said it should be okay because they must have it online.

And I just checked the online history (i94.cbp.dhs.gov), IT IS NOT ONLINE EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this going to be a serious problem??? What should I do?!!!!

Thanks very much if someone could offer some information.... :(((

And congratulations to all that have received the oath letter. Happy for all of you!
do you have the copy of flight ticket or boarding pass with u..?? Or if u r working full time here in Canada u can show ur pay stub as a proof that u were in canada..

As SINPGUY suggested, get the documents e.g. Paystubs, Boarding Passes (Original, before sending those make sure you save a copy of those), original receipt of purchases you did, proof of attendance of an event (if any), travel within Canada etc. Make sure the documents you pick to send are Dated close to your entry date in Canada from US.

I gave test on 20th August 2015 and after that I didn't hear any thing from them. Just wondering how long does it take to get Oath letter.

Same here. Had test on Aug 27. Decision made on September 3 and nothing since then :(
There is an oath ceremonies in Regina October 13-16 but it is for Southern SK applicants only. I hope they will add Regina right after them.
I was told by the officer that the ceremony for us will be in 3-4 months. Hopefully sooner :)

I did my test on 10th of August and had the decision made around early September but have not heard from them. Has anyone gotten an invitation to the oath ceremony?

It will be interesting to know who got invited for those 2 citizenship oath ceremonies in Saskatoon, a comparison to their test dates will help in understanding the current timeline/ processing time of Saskatoon office !

Congratulations to those who took their Oaths recently and became Citizens also to those who got invitations for Oath !

Finally got my oath ceremony update on ECAS:

Below is the Timeline:

Application Received January 15, 2015.

Acknowledgement received on March 3, 2015.

Processing started on May 20, 2015.

Received a notice on July 29, 2015 to appear and write the citizenship test on August 18, 2015.

On Oct 08 ECAS updated saying 'the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held in SASKATOON on November 10, 2015'

:D :D :D

Best of luck to fellow applicants who are waiting for test and oath ceremony invitations !

Hello all! I just checked my status online and said they sent a notice on September 29 telling me to be at the ceremony held on November 9 at 9:00 am. :)

I wrote the test on July 23rd, then was asked for supplementary document (i.e., my I94 online records) because I'm missing a stamp on my passport. Thankfully it all went through!

The stamp missing was from a trip to US in November 2011, so I do not have anything left to prove that trip. My guess is that they simply wanted to know when i left Canada, and they must have the record of my return, so as to make sure I have stayed inside Canada long enough (which I did!).

Thanks to all who have provided information to help! Wish you all best of luck! :)

Haven't received the oath ceremony invitation letter yet...........as per ECAS a letter was sent on Oct 08. I guess a regular mail within Saskatoon takes about 1 week, considering there was a long weekend in-between probably it would take 10 days. Are you also waiting for the letter ?
