I had my test on Apr 17 on St clair. passed with 20/20. I called CIC. they told me that my score has not been uploaded yet.

I hope everyone who is waiting for their oath letter get some good news this week.

I had my test on April 29 at st clair, passed and was told by CIC that the judge has granted the decision and that I'm in line for the ceremony.

Who else has called the CIC and was told the same?

QAI, she quickly went through the DOCs, asked a few questions and said to my wife that everything looks ok, she will send it to Judge for review and should expect an Oath date in around 3 months. My wife then asked her if that meant she doesn't have to meet the judge, the lady said... well, I don't think so. That's all !

What was in your case?

Does anyone here can clarify one thing, when submitting the actual citizenship application there is a section where you need to state all the addresses in the last 4 years, now, if someone is out of country for say a week or two for vacation does he/she need to state the address of that vacation as well? (The vacation absence was accounted in the calculator and descrption section, so that's not the issue, the question is, if the address needed to be mentioned on the "last 4 year address" section?)

Thanks.

Hey dossip, from my conversation with the interviewer, they want all addresses that come under last 4 years. Now that I think about it more, I never mentioned all the addresses I lived in only significant ones. Some addresses I stayed only for few days but they want all addresses. Even if you had issues and had to move out right away.

Hi Qai,
She told us that we will be getting Oath letters in 4 to 6 Months and also she mentioned that you don't have to come here to St Clair it will be in Mississauga office so aim guessing that the time is up and we should be getting Oath Letters any time now.

Well, we missed couple of addresses (vacation ones - short stay), but the interviewer never asked any questions on these. my wife however, did account every single absence in her calculation - so I am guessing that should not be a big issue.

Hi All,

I can finally breathe a sign of relief. Took my oath this afternoon. It was a very nice ceremony. There were 106 new Canadians today.

I hope everyone that is waiting gets their letter soon.

Below is my timeline:

Applied : Feb 15, 2013
Application Received : February 22, 2013
Started processing Application : April 22, 2013
RQ received : Jul 2013
RQ Sent : Aug 2013
Notice to prepare for Test : February 14, 2014
Test passed : March 5,2014 ( St. Clair )
Oath date : June 2, 2014 in Mississauga

I should add that when I called CIC on May 6th I was told my results were not uploaded. So I requested ATIP the same day. My letter to take the oath was dated May 16th. I am not sure if the ATIP request had anything to do with it, but I do believe that it made someone look at my file.

Good Luck and God Bless !

Canadiansoon,
do you have any update? It seems that they forgot about Feb test takers

Nothing yet and I haven't been calling. Test: February 18, but I was told that my scores are uploaded a week ago so I am not sure if that means anything.

Keep calm and keep waiting That should be the CIC tagline.

I do not understand why CIC is not issuing oath letters to people who took their test in Feb (18th onward). We are happy to see a number of March test takers are finally getting their oath dates. But what happened to Feb test takers? Any explanation?

Precisely, this is what I asked the CIC agent this afternoon. She told each file is different, you can't compare. I told her does not the Citizenship test is conducted ONLY after everything about an applicant is completed ?. After that, they should be some logical sequence for onward processing.
She had NO straight answer except told me the CIC expect candidates to wait for 36 months. Perhaps, the St.Claire location is the worst in entire country, everything is terribly handled rather mismanaged & complete chaotic system.
