Hi guys I have sent my application for citizenship on March 6 ’2018. I landen in the country on 21 Nov 2014.Now I realized that I made a big mistake in my application .I did not focus on eligibility period which was from March 1 ,2013 to March 1, 2018.I gave them all the information in the forms during my stay in the country .But my eligibility started 2 years before coming to this country .So I had to send them my police certificate from my back home and all my information regarding those two years (educational n jobs info)
welcome back to the forum. Can you let us know when you received AOR?

AOR: Dec 1, 2017
In Process: Dec 23, 2017
Test invite: Feb 1, 2018
Test interview: Feb 21, 2018

hi how did you find the rest was it hard or manageble and what was the interview like
St. Clair requested FP. Test held at Hamilton. Oath will very likely be there as well. I live in Brantford, ON. If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
I got the invitation to do the citizenship test in the mail today and I have to take my current and expired passports to the interview. There is no mention of translation in the notice but I have some entry/exit stamps that are not in English. Does anyone here have a similar experience? Should I translate my passports? Thank you
Hi All,
I have been a silent reader for the past 6 months. I now am sharing my experience to help those who might still be awaiting.
Application sent: Oct 11th, 2017
Application Delivered: October 18, 2017
AOR: December 1st, 2017
In process: January 8th, 2018
Citizenship Test Email invite: February 7th, 2018
Test: March 7th, 2018
ECAS Status changed/updated to Decision Made: March 8th, 2018
The test was extremely simple & easy. I finished under 3min and got 20/20. Maybe I over-prepared, But the questions are simple and straightforward, and most of them are simple facts that most people should know anyhow. If you give the Guide 1 or 2 reads you should be more than qualified to pass it.
The Interview after the test was simple as well. The Officer was very friendly, she asked what I thought of the test, then made some lovely small talk, She only checked my ID (Driver licence), PR card, then my passports (Current & Expired) to match the stamps to the days I stated on my application & Calculator (Couple US & South America trips). I was told that everything looks good, and they just have to wait for the security clearance. I should Expect an update in the next 3-12 weeks.
My ECAS was updated the next day to "Decision made", so I am waiting on receiving an Email or Mail to see what that means exactly.
Overall, I Started at 8h15, and was out by 8hr58. I believe some others would've had a much longer day.
PS: As stated, I definitely over-prepared for the test and went in with a lot of confidence. For the curious ones, I used (http://www.citizenshipsupport.ca) to prepare and it was fantastic. They do provide a free sample test, but I paid $29 to access the whole thing. Now that I am done, anyone interested, I still have a year access. But really, you hardly need anything beyond reading the guide as the test was really that simple.
Believe it or not, but there is also a great CBC series (Released last spring), it's a 10 parts/episodes series that covers the history of Canada from the Vikings to 2017. It is super patriotic and makes you proud and eager to become a Canadian and a part of this great nation. I recommend you give it a watch:
