Tamara_,

Any news on your end ? Have you requested ATIP for yourself ?

Not yet, I haven't ordered ATIP and I will not order. I am fed up of how Ottawa office is treating its applicants. As if we are beggars.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Today I found out that there are 4 citizenship ceremonies that are scheduled to take place in Ottawa in June 2015. 2 ceremonies on June 15 and 2 on June 16, 2015.
Has anyone been invited to those ceremonies yet?

My citizenship test was on May 4th and I haven't heard anything so far. Any updates from anyone please?

J.A.

My timeline: Application received: Aug 13, 2014. Letter acknowledging receipt of application sent Oct 20, 2014. Started processing application Dec 30, 2014. Application sent to Ottawa office Jan 2015.
Citizenship test and Interview: May 4, 2015.

I thought I should let you all know that I finally got my citizenship on July 1st, 2015.
The citizenship staff were really nice. I sent a request asking if I could have my citizenship on the 1st of July as it is my birthday. I received a call letting me know that my request was approved. I was in tears :)
It was such a special birthday, Canada Day and citizenship day!
I wish all the members of this forum the best of luck :)

Adieu!
 
JA,

Congrats ! Two Questions:

Did you send your request by letter or by email ?

If you sent it by email, what email did you use ?

I called CIC and asked if it is was possible, explaining my timeline and that I was already expecting my citizenship appointment anytime. I was advised to send my request by fax to the Ottawa office and they gave me the fax number for this office.
 
I took the test last week and today I received an invitation for oath ceremony in my mailbox. That's super fast! Unfortunately, I have to reschedule it because it's the same day, same time as my final exam. grrrrr

Thank you

18th and the letter is dated 4th. So, they sent it 2 days after my test. I hope I don't have to wait too long for new date.
