You will pass the exam don't memorize the whole book though. Read the book couple of times do some skimming and scanning read it but nor to memorize it, just for you to recognize the things like dates people and special event, Do not get pressure you'll be fine and I know you'll pass the exam and claim it.

Thank you so much for your encouragement! i feel like i remember the main stuff, main years, main people, main events but im just not sure how much small details it would be in the real test. im afraid they will be some small details that i cant remember.

Fellow applicants,

I need to ask you a question, please. My application status is still IP since May 4th. My PR Card expires on November 21st. I need to renew it, right? I was expecting to get an update on my application status but nothing has happened. I am going to send them an email and call them to see if this is a good reason to speed up the process a little bit. Do you have an email I can write to? I have their phone number.

I appreciate any comments on this.

Thank you!

No they won’t speed it up because your PR card is expiring

We became Canadian citizens this morning.

This citizenship process needs an overhaul - our application was completed but sitting on some officer's desk for weeks/months until I got my Hon. MP to check what was happening. They too got the usual answer "background checks" and I got the reply from the Hon. MP that this process can take 12 months and that it is in progress. Then I approached the Shadow Minister and within a few days after that I got a call from the Immigration Office advising that my application was still in "background check" which they have no control of. I then, within a few days saw my eCas change to "Decision Made" and got a call from my Hon. MP that a decision was made! Within several days I was invited to attend the citizenship ceremony.

In a nutshell - these folks are the "typical" government employees that we hear about - McKinsey or EY or Dellloitte should get in there and get them to streamline the process - perhaps move away from the "batch processing" systems to "JIT". It worked for "industry" and I am sure it will work for IRCC.

I know some here are saying that we should leave IRCC alone as any queries might delay processing for all - if we keep thinking that way then we will never get "step change" improvements that is so much needed.

BTW - we come from a commonwealth country so no serious background checks was required!

All the best to everyone and please approach the shadow Ministers if you wish to.

What happens in the case of a senior applying for citizenship? Does it jump from IP to DM or from IP to Interview? I know that seniors over 55 need not take the exam.

Depends on the situation - I was asked for an interview to clarify my travels which was more than 50 in 3 years. I am in mining and consultancy and travel a lot and they raised a triage. This was good because they could have asked for an RQ which takes a long time to sort out.

By the way - interview is part of IP
