Hi,

I applied in May 15 and my ecas was activated July 15. Since then my application
is under process in Scarborough office. My received line disappeared late August
and no news from cici yet.

After a few calls to cic, which were not useful at all, I ordered my ATIP a month ago.
In the ATIP everything is fine and they are waiting for RCM clearance to come through
since November 10. I have passed all other clearances and my application is considered
routine. Is it normal for RCMP to be this late for clearance? In the file it says they have sent
the batch to RCMP and it is still under process.


Thanks

Hi all, I received a notice in the mail today to take my Citizenship test in Ottawa on February 2nd. Only problem is, I will be in England on February 2nd! Typical! Does anyone have any experience rescheduling tests?

Hi everyone,

I have received in my mailbox today an invite to take the test on Feb 26th. The package also included a letter mentioning that I would be part of an oath ceremony on the same day if I pass the test and if my application is approved.

My question to those who received the test invite...did everyone receive this part about the path?

Good luck to all!

Hi Palcan,

It seems this is a new process now as I have seen the same information about having the "oath ceremony" on the same day of their test exam. (I remember in the past 2005 and 2006, this was the process) I remember my friend who took the test in 2006 has also participated in the oath ceremony on the same day (1 hour difference)

It seems they are going back to that, which is awesome! Good luck, and please share your experience.

I had test yesterday in Scarborough and they issues me the Oath letter on spot for Feb 10th. Friend of mine with same timelines appeared for his test last thursday in Mississauga and was given the oath date for yesterday. They are moving fast to finalise the applications....part of it could be to do with elections coming up too.

Hi WhiteSpace,

I didn't get my book for a long time as well, my test is also on Jan. 30, but decided to start studying online. Not sure if you already got this link from the forum or not but here is a link to different forms of the book, Discover Canada, the only guide you are supposed to study off of:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/discover/

People on this forum have suggested that reading the book a few times and studying online is the way to go. Here are a couple of tests that I use to study my knowledge:

http://v-soul.com/onlinetest/
http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/new-to-canada/citizenship.jsp
http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/

I've also seen that people study via listening to the audio version of the book (also available on the link I provided above to Discover Canada formats).

Good luck!

I personally don't but a friend of mine rescheduled his test as he was away. They gave him a new date after three months. Tough to say though as it would depend on each case.
