One can change the address after submitting the application. I see no issues here. People move, buy new houses blah blah blah. The issue is that you obtained an ID which you have been using till this very day (actually you showed this ID to the CIC officer), but you failed to update the address (if it's like a driving license then it's against the law). So... your guess is as good as mine. You were already RQ'd, but I'm not sure how CIC will look at it. Good luck anyway.

ETA: Yes. It's like a driving license. "Change of Address: The address on an Alberta Identification Card and Operator's License needs to be updated within fourteen days of a change of address." https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=ih5HVNu0G8f38AHf4YCIDw&url=http://humanservices.alberta.ca/documents/Homeless-Overview-Gov-Issued-ID-TipSheet.pdf&ved=0CCkQFjAG&usg=AFQjCNFs4CcA562G7v3hSkz4cToSJ7ywrw&sig2=3Z0BZRQaCCkWG6bUAZkjUg

Dear all,

anyone can advice about my situation.

Today ( after 39 months of waiting) i wrote my Citizenship Exam - Calgary side,

the officer asked me about 2 pieces of ID i gave her PR and AB identification Card, the address in AB card i didn't mention in the citizenship application ( its my friend address i lived with him 2 days only until i found my Owen place)

the officer write down a note about that in my file and gave me the answer sheet and went to the test room.

i passed with score 20,

now i have 2 Questions.

do you guys think the note that the officer put in my file will affect the rest of the procedures to receive the Oath letter ?

my PR is expired and at work they want me to travel to US office in a business trip, what should i do ?

Thanks for you all

Adam
Hey I am not sure how the 2 day address will affect your oath. But I can tell you it won't be any time soon since there are people who wrote their tests in Aug and they are still waiting for their oath. I myself wrote my test on Sept 02 and still haven't received anything. But as far as PR goes I am sure you can get it renewed really quick. Here is my timeline from last year but you have to provide proof of travel I had attached my itinerary with my application. Please let me know if you need more info on this.

We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 23, 2013.

We started processing your application on September 26, 2013.

Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on September 27, 2013. Your Permanent resident card will be mailed to you or if quality assurance is required, made available for you to pick up at a CIC office.

Thank you .
Please Dolly parmar, do you think how long it will take to be called for the Oath if everything went OK in Calgary office, 2 of my friends went fast for them like 5 or 6 weeks after the exam ( July the test/ end of August the Oath)

is there anyway to ask about this address issue will affect the rest of the procedures ? or anyway to know when the Oath might be ?

thanks

I moved to Calgary from BC, but didn't get my address changed.

Interviewer asked me where do you live now, and I told her, in Calgary but didn't get the file transferred as I didn't want to add tot he delay.
She said ok...and then asked if I wanted Oath ceremony in BC or Cal..I said BC....she said good decision...file transfer can take time

so I really don't think yours is any big of a problem...but I could be wrong...possible I might get RQ too, as it has been 9 weeks since my test date!

If you need an answer to these questions you're asking , go to the application form and read what comes after section 10
Signature of applicant
I agree to advise cic if any information on this form changes before I take oath.......

You signed your application so you agreed to do so but you didn't. your address changed, yes after you applied, but you didn't let them know.

Something sounds odd here...if you were only at your friend's place for 2 days, how did you manage to get an acceptable "Proof of Address" Id document in order to get the AB ID card in the first place?
I agree my friend!

i went to the bank and asked to change address to my friend that i was planning to set with until finding new place, then i took print out of my bank account statement and went to the registry to get a proof that i'm resident of Alberta to be able to set for an CGA exam, they give me the document and sent the card later after 2 weeks, i lept this card as an ID + the PR since i dont drive

i dont see where is the problem? and this happened after i completed the 3 years they want in the RQ.

Hey they are only up to Aug 18 as far as I know. Its twice as much to July test takers so about 12 weeks. I don't think yours would be anytime before Dec the earliest but the best guess would be January because Aug test takers are getting their oath in November. I am just relying on other forums and threads I have read on various sites.

I don't really think there is any such thing or atleast anything I know of. We just have to rely on what other people tell us when there is their test and oaths.
