June 2014 Citizenship Application.

[Stukapidli]

Folks, some of you mentioned the CBSA (am i saying it right?) report. Can someone explain what exactly it is and under which conditions you need to present it. Also how can you order one, what's the cost, and how long does it take? I'm guessing it's a list of your ins and outs from Canada? I haven't received a test letter yet, so does it make sense to order one from before? Or would they need something very current (in case my test date gets sent way down the line). FYI, I had ticked the box in my citizenship application which says they wil be able to contact CBSA to obtain the necessary information

Thanks!

Correct. CBSA = Canada Border Services Agency

The CBSA report that we often reference here on this forum is the CBSA ICES traveller history report (or simply the CBSA traveller history). ICES stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement System.

You can submit a request for your CBSA traveller history at http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/req-dem-priv-eng.html. If you make your request under the Privacy Act (which is what you should opt for since you are requesting information about yourself), there's no fee.

Hope this helps.

Sorry to hear that Qubectau


Friends, please enter your timelines in the below Google sheet which started in Jan of 2014. It will help build a statistical model for expecting next steps, and thus would, for example, give indications of when should you contact CIC. This could help in avoid situations like Qubatau's !

We sent you a notice on December 16, 2014 to appear and write the citizenship test on January 20, 2015 at 8:30 AM.

Ok, I don't know why the update one month after the test. But let's hope that it's because they sent me the oath invite.
