November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[dutts]

Congrats, updated the sheet. Other who have passed through this situation may help

As advised earlier, me and my wife received test invite on 18th April. My daughter, who is a minor, has no update on her E-CAS and still in IP status. Is it normal?

I travel to the US for work, and also might have missed mentioning a few overnight trips in the application ( not more than 15 days in all, and they were back in 2012/2013, I don't even remember the exact dates). I have 1700 +days in my application, so I am way over the 1095 mark. Should I send a correction to them through a case specific enquiry/ webform, or leave it alone

My suggestion is to provide information to the best of your knowledge. In my mind, that doesn't mean guess, so I would correct the record for what you can accurately remember via the webform.

I thought I would share my experience of the interview process in Vancouver yesterday. I am over 55, so I cannot comment on the test aspect.

My email invite said to attend at 08.19. When I arrived at about 0745 there was a long line up - the doors are not actually unlocked ‘till 8am - so don’t get there too early, although there is a Starbucks nearby.

Once inside there is a large reception area - there were probably about 80 people. The folks taking the test were then taken off to a different room. Us remaining oldies then had to hand in the printout of the email invite, and then we were called to a wicket (like in a bank) for the “interview”.

Not sure how they decided the order to call people. There were probably about 30-40 of us, but probably about ten of those included interpreters (family members). It looked like the folks who had interpreters were called first (but that was just my impression).

The interview itself is really confirming your ID - passport, PR card and provincial photo ID. I also highlighted some mistakes I had made on the physical presence calculator - they did not seem bothered! With the passport they check for stamps - mine had none because all my trips had been to Europe - again this did not seem to be an issue. The officer commented that they have a record of when you enter Canada but not when you leave - so there is quite an element of trust.

You then sign that no new prohibitions and that is it. The officer said the oath would be in two to three months. I am currently living outside of Canada and they put a note on the file to try and have the invite coincide with my next stay in Canada - not sure if that will happen.

The interview was ten minutes tops - after about 40 mins waiting.

Next day I got decision made - pretty cool.
