Congratulations elen..am so happy for you..
I wish he tries to call and help me relax ???
He is just so cool and says..when it is 5 months after the exam, he will bother to call...he claims that CIC are very busy people and we should leave them do their work without disturbance...I wish I can buy ice for my nerves from him!!!
:D :D :D to be waiting for something is really a frustrating and most of us just can't deal with it

On the other hand if you just take it easy and relax then you're a winner , because it's not like the phone call is going to change anything lol, but we try to keep the hope alive , like i said sooner or later you will get the invitation Only when they decide to send it to you ,
( so why stress about it ? ( if you can :) )


Good luck!

Thanks dear, but I don't think you need to buy ice for your nervous ,just keep him in balcony for two hours under -13", if doesn't want to call cic don't open the door for him ;D ;D, I'm just joking , don't worry for nothing Rosalia, if cic decide to send him the letter this week they will do , the call doesn't make any different just to see what the statue of his fille , I hope he'll get it this Monday , good luck

Hello everyone!!


I'm back to share my experience, after becoming a proud Canadian Citizen today :) :)


my citizenship journey is mow completed :)

* Today I took the Oath and received my Canadian citizenship certificate , what a great moment !!! 87 new citizen from 33 different countries.

* When we entered the ceremony hall, they checked only the invitation letter, and took away our PR cards for good so you won't see it again lol :)
along with the consent form signed and dated.
* After that we were asked to sign 2 signatures on another form like the one you signed previously at the test time ,
it states that you have No ongoing or bending criminal record , or under investigation , it also states that you will say the Oath.
* Then, we were asked to take seats as per the number stated on our invitation letter.
* The CIC clerk gave us the relevant instructions and answered our queries before the Citizenship Judge entered the ceremony room.
* Then, the CJ addressed us for 15 minutes - it was very nice lady. After that, we took oaths in English and French. Then, the CJ addressed us again
for about 20 minutes.then everyone was called In order by name to receive the Citizenship Certificate. After that, we all sang O Canada for the
first time as Canadian citizens. :D
* after that, the CIC clerk gave us some information such as the Cultural Access Pass registration, applying for Canadian passport, etc.
* After that, the CJ gave us the opportunity for taking pictures with her.
* The entire ceremony (including taking pictures) lasted for about 75 minutes
* It took me 12 months to complete the process from start to finish , Not bad of a processing time, considering it's Ottawa office :D the slowest

Here is my timeline Ottawa Office
