I am curious , does every one who has received their test invites have their ecas updated to show test invite sent ? I am somewhat concerned about mail delivery in my area, some of the things I have ordered have not been delivered to me so i am beginning to wonder if my test invite has been lost.

It looks like everyone who applied around when I did have received test invites from Calgary.

Question Guys: I paid $1360 fee for citizenship for 3 members family..for me, my wife and kid. It doesn't show the name of my wife or kid in the payment receipt? It is showing on $1360 paid with my name as Cardholder. How IRCC understands? How many receipts I should send? 1 for all or 3 for each of us?

No one interested to respond my silly question?

Thanks Jusia. So you didn't get the letter, but a message on ecas. That is great news.

As long as you have all of the people in the same package, they take the single payment receipt. In my case I just put copies of the payment receipt for my family members in the package. That way if the package is referred by 2 different agents, they will have proof of payment at both places.

Payment once for all family members in the same package is also recommended by CIC.

Can someone kindly me know that what ever trips we do out of country between the time of mailing application and test / interview - do we have to declare and explain at the interview? Because when we mail the application we have already fulfilled the residency for citizenship?

Would appreciate an answer.

I also have the similar questions on my mind. Cause I'm sending my application and going away for vacation out of country for few weeks. Now whether to disclose during the interview about foreign trip after meeting the physical restriction, shouldn't be something the IRCC is willing to look at. But experts can shoot more opinions. But to me it shouldn't matter since you already fulfilled 183 days in each of 4 yrs and 1460 days in total. That is the thing they should be looking at as per my guess.
