Good luck everybody.

Nothing yet. My application is in the slowest local office, Edmonton. So im expecting the test invite maybe next year *sigh*
Hi,
I took and passed the citizenship test on August 6 (Kitchener office). As people said, if you read the Discover Canada book at least once then you should have no problem passing the test. I was surprised by how casual it was - the officers were dressed very casually (I dressed up haha and felt quite out of place lol) and joked and made everyone feel comfortable and less stressed out. The interview with a citizenship officer was pretty quick - he just checked my IDs, entry/exit stamps in my passport and asked if I currently work (I brought a letter from work, tax docs etc but they didn't ask for it). I was told I would be put on the next available oath ceremony and get an oath invitation within 6-8 weeks - apparently, the Kitchener office is rather small and they can only service about 25 people per test/oath, thus the delay.
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!

Fingerprinting requested.... fantastic !!!! Got the letter today, did it today as well. Does this make my application non-routine? perhaps...
oh well nothing I could have done differently... more waiting it is...
p.s: my name is quite UNIQUE in my native country, but good to know my namesake is roaming Canada with a criminal record

spellbinder,
when you applied did you include anything additional like employment letter or T4's or whatever? OR did you have many travels?
Also is your employment with the same employer?
just curious to know what causes the fingerprinting thing.
thanks,

is fingerprinting triggered by any of these? doesnt make sense, but its CIC after all ...
I have been with the same employer for the application period (same and only employer ever since I graduated from univ) with no gap in employment. I have only included an employment letter with the application, but no T4/NOA. I had 5 travels (3 of them to my country of origin) over the application period, using the 3 weeks of vacation I am entitled to each year, who knows if this qualifies as 'reasonable'....
