Dear forum members. Today, exactly six months and two days after I sent the citizenship application, I became a Canadian citizen.
Thank you again all for all the advices I got from you on this forum.
Thank you again all for all the advices I got from you on this forum.
i should have asked the interviewer when i took the test that can i switch to another office to take the oath. i dont mind travel to another city if the office there can process the oath quicker than scarborough.... i wanna visit to europe,...
congrats.... i wish my application is processed by Mississauga office... i live in the west side of yonge street....
Anyone from Calgary with a DM date of March 29th or earlier still waiting for their oath date? Or am I the only unlucky one? It so unfair they’re not going in order at this point 
Hi everyone,
I have done my test & interview today morning followed by Oath & Citizenship Ceremony in the afternoon in Edmonton office.
Most of the people had the same thing as they were from remote areas.
Passed the test with perfect score
Test was easy! I read the discover Canada Guide twice and did many online free tests..nothing will come out of the study guide..the majority finished the test in 5-10 min.
The interview was based on first come first serve so I didn't have to wait long time..it was quick interview about 10 min reviewing my paperwork and checking the original passports ( all passport current & expired ) even passports out of the elegibilty period! The officer was very friendly.
She just looked at the first page on the old passports and returned them to me and kept the current one to cross check the stamps with my physical presence record.
I had some stamps traslated ready for her but she didn't ask for anything! The stamps were mixed in English and Arabic language So she might went with the dates as they were in English. I did add in the residency calculator the details of trips with the page number were the stamp is located which made it easy for her to find and match them.
She asked some general questions ; like what do you do for work?
At the end she handed over the Oath invitation for the afternoon.
My daughter 5 years old didn't come with me during the test or interview and she didn't ask anything about her other than her documents.
Thank you all for this forum it was very helpful.
Congratulations to all who had their Citizenship and wish the rest best of luck in your process.
Hopefully; Soon you all will be proud Canadians
