Apr 1, 2021 You've been scheduled to take citizenship test online between April 1, 2021 and April 22, 2021.
Apr 8, 2021 Citizenship test status has been updated to Completed
Now, I can't find the local CPC that my case was forwarded to, but if I am not mistaken there should be one in Surrey as I applied from Chilliwack, BC.
Here is my concern, I am currently with my family in Croatia, spending some of my paternal leave. I had the test completed and verified on April 8. Our departing flight was on April 11
, so yes, I lucked out with this one. As there is one thing for sure, every step of the process even if its online portion you MUST BE PRESENT IN CANADA. And it makes sense, citizenship is a big deal for the country to give out.
Worrisome part is after test completion in correspondence was that they will in touch in next several months. After reading online on gvt website, I have learned that within three months from the test an applicant should receive oath ceremony invite 2 weeks in advance with scheduled date. Now in that case my three month are coming up pretty soon, and I am thorn if I should by a ticket right away for the three month period in order to save money on the fare and for how long should I take it. I am really concerned that I might stuck there for more than 2-3 months until the oath invite if I take the route of trying to save some money.
One more thing, I see that there are some changes as you can log in online and follow the process. Although, I am not aware of the interviews you guys are writing about. In my steps of application process there are no mention of it. Should I be concerned? Every time I send an email and as a question all I get back your case is being processed and no further documentation is required, But never a definitive answer to it.
Looking at everyone's timeline I would say that each case is specific and unique. I see that one of the gentleman's here applied in January 2019 and had the test invite on same date as me, and I applied in November 2019, almost a year after.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you guys!
