September 2014 Citizenship Application
- Thread starter venecolano
- Start date
Its a written test multiple choice. I reached one hour ago. Be there 1 hour (or atleast half an hour ago). You need to report to the front desk (Security)(this happened at Vancouver office)meateater said:
I am not sure about where do you need to report to at Scarborough.
Thanks! My ecas just updated with my test information:garian4u said:Congrats itguy78 ;D

Same way...you need to report at the front desk....have the invitation letter in hand....most probably there will be a queue for you to wait and then enter the examination hall...choose a seat and listen to instructions...and then start the test....thecoolguysam said:
All the best my friend!!
Sounds like they're requesting more information. It could as simple as some specific document missing/illegible or a fingerprint request -- just hoping it's not RQ.ualiu said:
Just got my letter to appear for the test on the June 3rd. I am so happy that finally I am going to be done with this paper work stuff...
Great. Every time I try to make sense of the CIC processes, I fail miserably. In my case, the E-CAS had updated with test information almost a week before I got the letter in mail. In your case, it appears to be the other way round. Also, any idea Scarborough applicants, on what the colour of the Test invite implies (is it just the time of the day when the test is going to happen). Mine is a yellow coloured letter.itguy78 said:
Yeah, I also thought I'd see the test invite on ecas before the actual letter arrived, but I got the letter and literally a week later ecas updated. In my case ecas has always updated a few days after my process moved (a few days after AOR, process started, transfer to local office etc) but I am very glad to have it as a tool to confirm that the process is moving along just as each communication received was saying. And just so you know, my invite letter was white - it sounds like the color of the paper is more of a "local office" thing than actually meaning anything in relation to your application/process.garian4u said:
We should support this online petition:meateater said:
CIC, Adopt a one-line processing standards so applicants from all across Canada will be processed on first-come-first-served basis

Yes, received the letter on this concern yesterday.
My wife is asked to provide the following document:
Identification
Photocopies of all pages of your passport/travel document used to enter Canada on March 31,2009.
Photocopies of all pages of
your passport/travel document used to enter Canada and
any valid or expired passports/travel documents given to you since your entry to Canada
I am not sure if we should include and translate all pages in the passport, even including non-Canada entry/leave records.
Any idea, please advise, thanks.

Is it form CIT 0171 or CIT0520? Please check lower left corner of the form.ualiu said:
If these are not the forms as mentioned above then i think they are asking for passport information only and you may need to get the stamps translated to be on safe side.
Thank you.thecoolguysam said:
It was a little harder than I anticipated, no scaring anyone but the ones who will be taking the test soon please go prepared, always rely on the discover Canada book.
Oath may take up to 4 months, please do not call the call center as they won't have any updates for oath. That's what the interviewer said.
PHEW!!! Really 4 months ?
