MARCH Applicant for citizenship March , 2017

[Stef.]

Received oath invite today 12/28
Oath Date 01/19
Scarborough

Can someone please update the spreadsheet? Thanks in advance

Also anybody got their passport from March applicants? I've a question regarding the docs to apply for passport. One of the the requirements is a valid Canadian travel document. Since we won't have the PR card anymore what can we use? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I took my German passport with me. Residency card is anyhow not a valid travel document on its own. It tells you on the passport application website what to bring. Also I went directly to the passport office instead of sending the paperwork in. Just be there 30 minutes before opening time otherwise you can wait forever!

Received oath invite on the 9th of Jan, 2018.
Oath Date 01/26
Scarborough

I recd three pages as an attachment. I guess the first two are the invitation and the third says #25 on top right and asking for picture publication consent is a media release form. There is no Prohibtion form included but the body of the email specifically asks to bring all three for oath with all original documents. Kindly advise if someone knows where may I get that form from and if there is someone else who hasn’t received the Prohibtion form.

I already got the decision made the very next day I passed the test. My wife failed so she had to go for a second attempt in 25 days time and her Status also changed the next day she passed. My kids Status hasn’t changed yet on ECas but we received the invitation now (WITHOUT PROHIBTION FORM)

Finally took oath of citizenship on Friday!

In my case, I never received oath invite either by email or regular post. I kept checking my ecas and saw DM and update for oath invite on January 12. As you all know, there are no details on ecas on where your oath is, I kept checking my email and mailbox every day with no luck until Jan 7, then finally decided to call and update them. Painfully enough, for hours the automated system told me that the call cannot be answered at this time..... I did got a hold of them and they gave me all the details I needed to go for my oath.

Lesson learned: Keep checking your email, mailbox and ecas status.

Good luck to all of you who are waiting

We did our citizenship ceremony today at Scarborough! It was very well planned, just like some others have eluded in the past. The judge presided over - gave our certificates and yes we are Canadians now!! Now would run for passport in the next few days...
Thanks to everybody in this forum, wish all well...
