Had my oath done today.

Finally Canadian Citizen.

It was a great feeling to be a part of the ceremony.

The citizenship Judge is a great speaker "CJ PERSICHILLI, Angelo"

Thanks to all the forum members for there support.

Today a total of 104 people had there oath ceremony at Mississauga office at 9.45 am.

Good luck to those who are waiting.

Advice: The clerk did mention not to apply for Canadian passport at least for 48 hours as they need to input the data and update the system. If anyone needs to travel immidiately, they were asked to see the clerk at the end

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D !!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

it looks that CIC offices in Ontario are moving very fast whereas other CIC offices around the country especially Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Atlantic provinces such as Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New Brunswick are stagnant. It is unfair >:( >:(
 
My wife took oath today in Mississauga and became Canadian citizen in less than 7 months of applying. It took 17 months for my citizenship application.. I applied in 2008 for myself and became Canadian in 2009.

There were a total of 103 new citizens today..

I've called CIC and they told me my application has recently (early Feb) sent to local office, Scarborough. I was living in Mississauga when I applied and I moved to North york later.
