October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[OsamaR]

All stamps that are not in English/French need to be translated. If the date on the stamp is in another script, the officer wouldn't know whether it falls inside or outside your eligibility.

yeah that make sence.. Thank you razerblade

Is the test online or paper base to circle ?

Thanks,

Dummy but real question:
How about if I am late 10-20 minutes for the Citizenship exam? Are they very strict with this time, or not much?

[Exam scheduled in Downtown, very far from my home and traffic is bad in the morning. 8:15am, And I have kids to drop off to daycares. Almost can not make it 8:15, maybe 8:30 to 8:40 arrive. Nobody at home help me that day.]

Just sharing my friend's experience, she showed up at the test 20-30 minutes late due to the fact she couldn't find a parking spot in downtown area. She was not allowed to take the exam. They asked her to wait for a new scheduled test appointment. She has been waiting for almost two months still haven't heard back from CIC.

Thanks,

Paper based, you circle the right answer/choice using a pencil - the marking is computer-aided though, so it doesn't take them time to produce the result.

Still did not get answer for my original question.

If they deal with the time very strict, yes I will find a babysitter, and arrive 30 minutes earlier.

If it is not that much, I will arrange to arrive on time, and possibly late few minutes due to whatever reason of delay.

Thanks anyway.

My test was scheduled at 9.02, we all started at 9.10, explications/rules done and ready to work! So if you want to come in, just be in time or even earlier, it's more respectful for all the other people that want to leave as early as possible and for the workers too!

Looking at the trends it seems like Toronto applications take the longest to be completed. Is that normal?
Not one person from Oct applications has received an oath date yet.

Talk about lead wait times, us Newfoundlanders didn't even get the test invite yet. Most (or maybe all) of us submitted our application during Oct. 16-23rd and still waiting for CIC blessings..

Please update my record:
ID: koziamorda1
Rescheduled the test, letter sent on February 23 and new test date is March 21
ECAS has only a line that the letter was sent and it did not state the new test day, I learnt about new test date only from the paper letter I received in mail.
Also, I have asked CIC (both Sydney office and local Alberta office) to not schedule the test on that day because I will be away. But apparently communications are broken there (letter states that I did not show up for the first scheduled test data and their records have no record of my reschedule request). I used both email and webworm to ask for reschedule.
Will have to go for March 21st, otherwise I feel like they will simply return my application and will ignore my reschedule requests (frustrating!!!)

if possible do not reschedule again. I think you will be allowed to ( given proper documentation about your request that you would be away etc etc).

Good luck with the test. I have updated your second invite to the SS.

Hello,
My application sent on oct 17th and received on Oct 20, received AOR on dec 14th, In process on Jan 11th still no reply. But today when I am trying to login my ECas asking to update the home and mailing address. I am not seeing any more options except logout. Before I am able to everything. Can you some tell me the reason and how long it will take time to get test invite.
Thanks

I just had the exam and got 19/20.
It was MUCH easier than I thought. For those who prepare the exam, please don't get nervous like me prior to the test.
The level of difficulty is just like one of those free online question set.

I will update my status when I get the notification for oath.

Thanks guys.

Just wrote the test today. Passed it, had a short chat with the officer, and had been told that my case is still in processing, as the security check is not yet complete, but once that is done I should expect the Oath invitation. So I hope it will be soon.
Good luck to all who are still on this journey.
