November 2020 - Citizenship Application

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I think Scarborough is the closest office to your location so it could be Scarborough.

If you've received a test invitation, you can find the abbreviation for the office in the email ID. For example, SCR = Scarborough and MIS = Mississauga. You can also find this information in the GCMS notes.

If you decide to call them again, you should ask a leading question like "Could you please tell me what my local office is?". You can also raise a webform request and ask which local office your application is being processed.

Good luck!

Just checked, mine is Scarborough Thanks for letting us know!

Thank you @rajkamalmohanram. I have not received the test invite as yet wondering what is taking so long. My BG check completed April 9th. I will call them once again and ask that question, hopefully will get some insight. thanks for your help.

I've updated the spreadsheet.

There's a mistake on the tracker. It says that I have taken the test. I haven't received an invitation yet. I'm still waiting for BG to be completed. Can someone fix this?

That's weird, not sure who updated it.

I have fixed the status now.

Just got a request to submit all pages of all travel documents.
I have a bunch of stamps in Russian, does it mean that I need to translate every one of it?!

Yes, anything on the passport that isn't in English or French (Visas / Stamps etc), get it translated.

OMG! I have multiple stamps and visas that are in different languages....

Some visas and stamps are in English AND another language. For example, if you have a stamp that is in Russian and there and it shows all the content of the stamp in English as well, then you probably don't need to get those translated.

But if it is Russian or not all the content of the stamp has an English version, then it best to get those stamps translated.

Good luck!

Yeah I have stamps that are in Russian or other language like Turkish/German,ugh
That's going to be an expensive translation

That sucks.

I used docsbase (had only 2 stamps) they quoted around $37 and 2 business days processing time.

Someone else used the same service for 7 stamps in 3 different languages and they were quoted $39.

Ask for a quote (upload all stamps that need to be translated) and see what they have to say.

My stamps were like this, I still got them translated just to avoid delay. IMO, it would be best to get these translated. If there are applicants who did not translate these types of stamps and were not asked for translation by IRCC, may be they can weigh in.

I didn't translate anything, but I sent all pages of my passport with my application.
