December 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Alhtrek]

Hi folks,


Today I scheduled to online interview with officer.
They requested the following documents:
- Two (2) pieces of identification with your photo and signature. These should be the identification documents submitted with your application (i.e. provincial/territorial identification documents).
- All your original documents that support your citizenship application (as listed in the document checklist in the citizenship application form).
- Permanent resident card (if you have ever received one).
- All original passports and travel documents in your possession (current and expired).

I don’t know what they mean by (All your original documents that support your citizenship application (as listed in the document checklist in the citizenship application form)) does the officer mean all documents that I submitted 20 months ago or just documents that related to my IDs.

I don’t have tickets or booking to mentioned my travelling does the stamps enough.

Does anyone here have the same requests?
How the interview was? Should I translate some stamps in my passports. Two passports are with IRCC, I have just one passport in my possession. Should I show that only?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank uou

Update: LPP completed! I saw the change in status today, and it was actually handled 2 days ago.
That was a pretty long wait until my last update (test completed) in October. Several times I considered to contact IRCC, and decided not to do it. Glad it looks like I won't need to!

No oath invite yet, Processing office is Scarborough (although who knows, I may have ended somewhere else for citizenship ceremony)

Notice to appear!!!
After LPP finally changed to completed on May 30, I did not have high expectations of being able to take my oath soon, though I did check frequently and I was hoping.

My ceremony is June 23rd. YAY!

The tracker has not changed, citizenship ceremony is still "not started". But I admit I care more about the email I received that has all the details in it on when to appear where, and what I need.

Anyway, I'm going to learn the bilingual anthem and buy some Canadian flag themed stuff to decorate my video environment with.
I'm so happy!

So in the next week I could probably hear about the Oath / E-cert stuff? Although I am not keeping my hopes up due the past experiences. Lol. Could you explain the content of your email? Is it notice to appear for Oath or is it E-Certificate? What does it say?

Thank you.

Hi, Is the E-certificate account setup is mandatory or is it only relevant if you are opting for it? Is it possible to get both? Confused what choice to make when it is my time to make the choice. I wonder what the experience of people who used E-cert to apply for passports.

Hi it's only if you or they opted you for it, not mandatory you can ask to change to paper before the ceremony. You can't get both you need to choose one option either e-certificate or paper certificate as far as I know. E-certificates are acceptable for passports just like paper certificates

You only need to setup when you opt in to e-certificate, e-certificate looks better to me, I can download it from anywhere, print it, and use it to apply passport. I was on travel when I take the oath, so I can just download the e-certificate and don't need to wait the mail
