Your name needs to be in the system, they ask you to allow 48 hrs to give them enough time. If you're name is not in the system they can't process the passport application, so you wasted your time. That being said, I've read many cases in this forum where they applied for the passport within 24 hrs and it worked.

Became Canadian on Jan 30th.
Applied Feb 14
Acknowledged on March
Test was on July.
All process took 350 days, slightly less than a Year.
Did my test today, passed. Had a quick interview after, they asked few questions and checked identification docs. Pretty simple. They didn't give me a timeline for oath, all the officer said was, i will receive email for oath ceremony. I guess within couple months hopefully! Good luck to everyone. I applied feb 10, 2018. Fp req in August 2018. Test invite January 22.
Cheers!

Hi guys - I received my test invite today. Literally on my 1 year mark since applying down to the date. I have a question about the documents to bring to the test. The test invite letter says I have to bring all the original documents I submitted as part of my application from the document checklist. Can someone please tell me what I should bring? The document checklist for the application says I need the application form itself, along with a physical presence calculator print out. So my question really is:
- Do i need to fill out the application form again and print and bring this?
- Do i just use the online physical presence calculator and print it out?
- Do i need to bring two photos again?
- My English language test was taken in 2013 - this is what I used to apply for my citizenship. So I guess I bring this test copy? I have it in an email as a PDF so I will just print it out
- I will bring my fees receipt
Those that have written their test already, if you can help out with what documents you brought to the test, that would be great!
Thanks all!

Take along- PR Card, Driver's license, all passports, landing paper, any other ID. Also to be safe take the physical presence calculator that you filled in at the time of application. I took all the paperwork to be safe. No need for photos. Print the language test copy.

Had my citizenship test today. Passed my exam but when I got to the interview, they placed my application on hold because my passport had stamps on it that were not in English.
I will have to get those translated and send it directly to the interviewer before my application can proceed.
I can't recall if I did that as part of my application or not, but another hoop to jump through.
The interviewer also said that within the next few months I'll get an email about the oath taking, following me submitting the translation.
