Documents to bring to test/interview

[uzas]

I have not received the test invitation yet, but I woudl like advice on what to bring. I read a post advising to bring translations of all passport stamps, as well as the documents to prove residency such as lease, job records, tax records, etc.

Was anyone asked to show such documents during the post-test interview?

Thanks!

Uzas,

Your test letter will mention the documents you need to bring. My test letter instructed me to bring the following items:

1. The test letter

2. Two pieces of personal identification. One with photograph and signature (driver's licence, health card, PR card, etc.)

3. All original documents that support your citizenship application

4. Your ORIGINAL landing paper

5. PR card

6. All passports and travel documents (current and expired)

During the post-test document verification (brief interview), the officer looked at my identifications (driver's licence, health card and PR card), landing paper and passport. She made a copy of my new driver's licence. She went through my passport quickly and compared just a few pages. She asked a few simple questions about my employment and family. Then she said everything looks OK. That was it.

Please note that every interview is different. I saw that some people brought tons of documents with them. In some cases, the officer goes over the passport page by page, and asks many questions.

Thank you JTM.

I understand "All original documents that support your citizenship application" can be a lot of documents.

Congratulations for your oath date!

The test is the step before the oath once someone had passed the test

Hi Uzas,

Thanks for your good wishes.

When I said "tons" of documents, I was quite literal. I saw people bringing documents by carts! Yes, actual carts. I guess it is better to be sure than sorry.

Cheers!
