It is running very slow. I made a call to the IRCC office in scarborough two days ago and I was told that my background check was completed but it could still last from two weeks to two months before I receive the test invite. Due to scarborough office is one of the busiest ones.

Congratulations!

The Citizenship test has 20 questions and you need to get 15 questions correct (75%). If you want to be thorough, go through Discover Canada book (https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/pub/discover.pdf) and go through the below sites for Mock tests.

Most of the forum members who took the test said it is easy.

Hello Guys,

I have another question, I misplaced my CORP so I was told to apply for VOS document. I was filling the form and had some confusion hope you guys can help me here.
In the form IMM 5009 Part B - Document request, I am confused between question 2 & 3.
Q 2) Immigration document issue date -
In guide the it says the following to answer:
If you entered Canada for the first time as a permanent resident (landed immigrant) indicate the date of issue in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD (Year-Month-Day).

If you entered Canada for the first time as a temporary resident (worker, visitor, or student) or refugee claimant, indicate the date of issue on your immigration document in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD (Year-Month-Day).

-- > I entered as student on Sep 2012 so I will mention that date.

But now in Q3) Canadian port of entry - Place of issue
In guide the it says the following to answer:
Indicate the name of the Canadian port of entry or the place of issue. If are a permanent resident, enter the location at which your status was granted.

Note: A port of entry is an airport, land border, or sea border, where you entered through a customs and immigration checkpoint prior to entering the country.

I entered as student at Toronto airport but I became PR at the Niagara border. Should I mentioned Toronto airport or Niagara border because here it says if you are PR than enter the PR location.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

So I just phoned IRCC and they told me everything looks fine and my application has been transferred to the local office (Scarborough) bit from what I hear here the Scarborough office is a mess so we keep the patience up.

Surrey office is slow and their processing time is close to 12 months, see spreadsheet for timeline of other applicants from Surrey.

Is there any Ottawa applicant who received oath invitation for August 16?
I heard that people got oath invites on Aug 09th but haven't heard about Aug16th. It looks like they added that 16th date recently. My wife finished her exam on June 12th (DM on 20th) waiting for her Oath. Let's c.
