Hi guys

I'm wondering for those who had the ceremony, did they check for COPR (confirmation of permanent residence)? Some people say yes some say no...

I passed the test on April 25th

I'm gonna apply for the verification of status since I lost it but might take a couple months..


Thanks

Hi

congrats on passing the test. Its randomly checked during oath though its not required. Better to re-apply for copy, it will be required in future as well (at time of penion)

Thanks
 
So..I have been guilty of not updating my status in the past month and half but that is just how I am...right up there with superstitious baseball and hockey players.
Office - Mississauga
Oath Taken - April 27
Decision Made - April 6
Test Date - March 28
Test Invite Date - March 8

And for folks tracking Mississauga office, we had 100 oath takers this morning and there was a second group later in the afternoon. So that office is hustling :) Based on my experience, Mississauga waits for everything to be in place before the test invite but then moves quickly.
This forum has been a great resource during my journey and I intend to continue contributing. Good luck to everyone waiting; your day will come very soon.

Hi Quiches. Thanks.

The ceremony was quick, it was in the Vancouver office, next to BC Place, same place where the test was given if your application is being processed in that office (as opposed to the Surrey office). The hour in the invitation was 8am, which is the time at which the office opens so about 15 or 20 minutes before everyone was lining up on the sidewalk waiting for the office to open. Once it opened everything went very smoothly, guests go to one room, candidates go for check-in, to hand in documents (invite, PR card, etc) and then the actual ceremony started at about 8:30-8:40. It lasted about 40 minutes. And that was it.

Cheers

Hey Shenlong1!

Thank you so much for your response!
I am glad it went smoothly! And happy to know that it is the same place as the test, the parking there is great.

Out of sheer personal curiosity, how were people dressed for the ceremony? More formally or casually?
