March 2021 - Citizenship applications

[Finland]

Don't worry about the test. It's relatively easy and the purpose is not to give you a hard time.
I personally only looked at discover Canada. Not a single search on Google/YouTube or anything. I read discover twice and got 20/20.
You will be good.

Thanks but what about the dates in canada history chapter have a lot of dates , is the dates are coming in the test ?

Hey everyone,

Oath has been completed as of friday March 11th.

We followed the instructions on how to electronically sign the Oath of Citizenship attached to the Ceremony notice. Upon signing we resent the whole file (10pages) back to the email again following the instructions and no mention that we should only isolate the last page when electronically signing the document.

Is that fine? or should we resend with just the signed oath? Also should we wait for a response to that?

Thank you!

I think we are told clearly in the email instructions and during the ceremony to only extract the last page and send. Email them with extracted page and ask if its too late

Thanks, yeah I just saw it now, I can't believe I missed that. I just sent them the extracted pages now. Error at the last step, unbelieveable.

Question for those who have received their citizenship certificates: what kind of package does it come in? Does it come in a box? Or an envelope? Appreciate any answers!

Hello everyone
do u know a link for thread about how to apply for passport
or if any one can answer my question please about the references (they have to be Canadian citizen or not?)
Thank you

Your guarantor has to be a Canadian Citizen but your reference doesn't have to be a citizen.

Anyone here who has done their test in September 2021 and no update yet? This waiting game is stressing me out. My PR card is expiring in few days and I don't know if it is a good idea to renew it and I have travel plans for late this year.

Mail to the address from where you got the test. They often respond back promptly.

I already did. Same response, We are unable to provide specific timeframes in regards to the processing of your application. Well I guess this is a test for patience
