Oath invite letter is sent 1 to 3 months after the exam (this was posted on the whiteboard during my exam). Wide range, yes ;D

I have 3 Mexican stamps in my passport and I am not translating them for my test next week. You are right in saying that the Mexican stamps do not indicate entry or exit. The reason being that they stamp your passport only when you enter the country. There is no exit stamp. The immigration officers should know that. Hence no translation needed.
Thank you RussCan, If would be great if you could share your experience at the Test/Interview too.

I appeared for our test (as it was a family application) on Feb.11.2015. There were around 20-25 people that I could see in queue. They explicitly called my name (along with wife's name) to come upfront for an interview. However everyone else just waited in line to be called by the next available officer. She went through our documents. I had a stamp on my passport (which was 4 years before I entered Canada) which was in Arabic. However it is the same passport I used to enter Canada for the first time. She wanted us to translate the stamp and send her the documents. Otherwise, she said everything else looks great on our file. She didn't ask for any other document(s).

Hopefully I can send the translation today to CIC and we can get scheduled for oath soon. Based on the information I received, it seems now they are scheduling the Oath ceremonies for April. So hopefully whoever is waiting right now, might get scheduled for April and so on.

Hello Colleagues,

I am new to this forum, and i would really appreciate if someone could guide me how to lodge the citizenship application and also the necessary document checklist i need to send along with the application. Do i need to send all the address proofs for last 4 years, pay stubs, employment details, telephone bills e.t.c along with the application?

Thank you All.

Thank you so much for the input Mimi23. Can you tell me what would be the basis for them to send the RQ? Do i need to include the CBSA report along with the application? Another question....if i file after June 2015, should i satisfy the 4 year residency period?

No , CIC will ask them CBSA for ur travel records , and the 4 years not in effect yet so till now is 3 years unless they change , no one knows when the 4yrs will start , some in the forum think it might start July so um not sure , n RQ many things are unknown to why they give RQ but if u don't have ur old passport u use to immigrate to Canada n suspicious address can trigger , did u live abroad in after PR?all The best
