Hi guys, I just received an email invite for an interview, I completed my test on October 4th, my office is Niagara Falls but the invite is from Kitchener.
does anyone have an idea of how they pick who to invite for interviews and what to expect during the interview? Thanks

I took my oath yesterday along with 136 other applicants on a Zoom call. It was a mixed experience with chaos and happiness. The judge was very good although very compassionate and straightforward (he even threatened to kick a few people out who were talking non-stop during the oath or were not paying their full attention :p).

I was able to download citizenship e-certificate's for entire family today, just one day after oath ceremony :).

Now onto the next step of applying for Canadian passport.

All the best to everyone here and I pray your citizenship journey comes to fruition very soon.

My office is Mississauga and I got the interview invitation for Nov 27th at the Scarborough office. Test completed on Oct 13th and LPP still in progress. My husband and I have travelled outside Canada quite often so we think that may be why. I spoke with another July applicant who got the interview and he had an extensive travel history too. Is that the case for you too?

Hey man, what does "confirmation of permanent residence (IMM5292 or IMM5688), as well as your record of landing (IMM 1000)," mean? First is COPR and what's IMM1000? Do we need it? It is just electronic, isn't it?
They ask for COPR in oath email but in the ceremony only PR card and a photo id is needed. IMM 1000 is needed for those who did landing before July 2022. New PR applicants don't need it.
