Test is done . 20/20 - studied using this website and also posts on this forum. It was easy if you have read the book 2-3 times and done the practice tests.

Interviewer (and for that matter) all staff were very nice at the Scarborough office. Interview took 10 mins. Got the pink letter to for Oath on September 19th. I was shocked when I got it as I did not know that Scarborough provided the letter on the spot.
The journey finally comes to an end - thank you all for your support throughout.

Ha! I wishYYZparent said:Perfect test score and a smooth path to citizenship, way to go Tstarks!
(Thanks for the practice test link too.)
What do you plan on doing once you get your passport? A late vacation on a beach?
.I actually got a few trips coming up to the US so I need to apply for my passport urgently. Perfect timing really!
Oath is done ;D
Oath ceremony was long but worth it. The judge was an old (Italian, I think) immigrant lady. The entire process was smooth and took about 2 hours from entering the hall, to judge's speech, oath, judge closing remarks and singing of the national anthem. We did not wait around for pictures as it was a working day for me.
Anyway, thanks all for your help through this journey and I wish you a speedy and smooth process to becoming a Canadian citizen.
