Anyone in Mississauga applicants had his interview in separate room beside the Hall where test is conducted . is there any reason for that or just an additional space

The citizenship journey is now over after attending the wonderful citizenship ceremony this morning at Mississauga where around 150 people became proud new Canadians
It was great to interact with you all and thank you so much for sharing such useful information that definitely helped a lot in this entire journey, God bless you all and best of luck to all who are waiting in line.

"We were categorically advised today to wait for 2 business days starting Monday and apply for the passport only on Wednesday or after."

Feeling proud today to be a Canadian finally

well, all they check is the ceremony invitation letter, landing paper and the PR card which they will retain since your official ID going forward will be the passport and not the PR card anymore. I did however carry everything once again as it was mentioned in the letter as I never wanted to take a chance and then wait for several months for the next invitation for the ceremony, therefore, it's up to you. I would recommend everyone to follow what's mentioned in the letter to avoid any unexpected delays!

Hi everyone,

I really need your advice. Has someone experienced something like this before?

My mother(homemaker) applied for citizenship in nov 2014 along with my sister (a minor 17 years old) . Failed her first written test at Mississauga in May 2015 and later in September 2015 was invited to write the citizenship test again. She got 18/20(passed) the second test but there was no interview the second time, they just told her that she passed. Now, after four months of waiting, she got a letter stating "Hearing with a citizenship officer", on feb 13 at Scarborough office. Now, my mom is really nervous, she was expecting an oath letter. While she can speak and understand English, she gets really nervous and anxious at interviews. So, sharing your experiences of hearings with a citizenship officer would really help. What kind of questions will they ask her? She never worked, is a homemaker and never left Canada for a single day since we landed here 4 years ago, will that be a problem? Has anyone had a hearing with a citizenship officer before? Please advise!

Hello everyone,

We are scheduled to write the test in Mississauga on Feb 3rd. In the invitation letter, they asked for the original documents that we copied in our applications.

My questions is: is it a good idea to bring more supportive documents like pay stubs, credit card statements, lease contracts, etc. for the officer to check?

Has anyone been asked to provide more documents during or after the interview other that the originals that were copied with the application?

I need your experiences please.

Thank you and wish you all the best.
