Scarborough office / timeline after test

[Canadiandesi2006]

Has anybody encountered a second oath notification line in ecas?

* We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 20, 2015.
* We started processing your application on June 19, 2015.
* Your file was transferred to the office responsible for your area on June 25, 2015. The office responsible for your area will contact you.

* We sent you a notice on January 7, 2016 to appear and write the citizenship test on January 30, 2016 at 11:45 AM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.*Note:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada does sometimes schedule events on Saturdays or Sundays.

* We sent you a notice on February 2, 2016 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on February 18, 2016 at 8:30 AM. The notice you will receive will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.

The notice you will receive will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.

It appears that the same letter was issued twice notifying you about Oath on the same date and time.

Had the Oath dates were different, then it would have warranted contacting the CIC to clarify but now it seems nothing wrong.

However, consider calling the call center agents to inform them.

thanks. will probably give them a call on Monday although their answers are always so generic that one wonders if it would be better to just shut that line down

the funny thing is that there is no ceremony listed on the cic website on 18th

It happened to me as well. Line 5 appeared on Jan. 11 for the oath on Jan. 25.
Canada post delivered oath letter on Jan. 16.
CIC website posted the schedule on Jan. 20 on find the ceremony page.

As a precaution, send a letter to CIC local office, providing your contact numbers and ask them to confirm Oath date, time and location.

In past, CIC had combined Scarborough and Mississauga candidates for common Oath ceremony at bigger premises other than CIC offices.

applied Dec 2014 , with children

RQ( FULL ), Mar 2015 Transfer to Local office Apr 2015 , Mississauga
RQ , answered , May 2015
Test invite , Feb 2016

one question , for experienced applicants . my children are above 14 when they applied thru family app (old rules ). but no test invite received for them . should they appear with my spouse or they will be scheduled different time . or their test not required

 

[canmozu]

I think test not needed for your kids if they were less then 18 years under old rules.
They will get oath invite along with your wife.

Test not needed for your kids.
They will get oath invite along with your wife.

THANK YOU . APPARENTLY , THE NEW RULES DICTATE TEST FOR CHILDREN 14+
DO YOU THINK HAVING THEM DURING INTERVIEW WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE FOR THE CO

 

[canmozu]

My kids were not present when we took test and interview.

 

[JJGGG]

My kids were not present when we took test and interview.

I assume your kids , 14+ . thanks for the assurance

i went thru your timeline . at the time of your test / interview,, your RQ was not assessed . did the CO mentioned anything about RQ
what is the reason it was transferred to montreal , surprising !!!

 

[canmozu]

It was most likely officer was lazy, dont have patience to look into my RQ at St.Clair.

They played pass the ball and drop the ball with my file, finally Montreal did the job in only one month.
Many RQ files were sent to Montreal to complete the RQ back log.

I dont think the minors are required to be present for the test. If so, the Oath invitation would have specified it. However, if they can accompany it's no problems.

However, you might check with CIC call center.

Dear Canadiandesi2006

Test invite is for wife only . seems the new rules require children 14+ to attend . we gonna clarify with call center anyway

thank you
