Good stuff hchalz! Exactly like mine, the CIC agent said my application is routine. I see from your timeline that you landed in 2010 and went back ,then came back in 2011 to settle, exactly like me! Let's wish Scarborough office keeps the speed up!

Fingers crossed for all of us!!

Hey Friends...

Here is my test & interview experience

Test date: 24th Feb Time: 12:45 PM

Reached Glen Erin Citizenship Office at 12:30, parked the vehicle (i need to advise anybody who has their test or oath here about the paid parking. you need to pay for parking and it is expensive. I paid about $6 for 2 hrs time)

Waited at the front desk and approximately at 12:40 they let everybody in, seated and rec'd the answer sheet and question booklets (everyone seated around you will have a different booklet so don't bother talking or trying to sneak peek into your neighbor as it has lots of repercussions).

Was asked exactly at 12:45 PM to start the test. Questions were super easy( i felt it that way so you may not want to take it too easy). Finished it in 3 mins and handed over. Was the first one to surrender the booklet and waited outside to be called for the interview but to my surprise they started calling candidates in the reverse order. Finally ended up being the last(few) candidates to be called for the interview.

The officer was nice and sweet. She asked a lot of questions about myself, when did i come, where did i land, where do i work, what do i work as, how many times i have been out of canada etc.

Thankfully i carried with me the CBSA report that she was thanking me for ordering as it made her job of validating the residency calculator easy.

She told me i did a perfect score 20/20 in the exam and that she is handing me the oath letter which is on Monday, 2nd March at 9 AM at the same center.

Well, now i am waiting for the big day.

Hope this helps you all and don't hesitate to shoot out any questions you may have.

All the best and good luck.

Cheers,
Srini

Wow! Congrats. Seems like you had a smooth sail.

Did you travel during the 4 year period? What duration?

Did you think it would be this easy (clean and problem free application)?
