Hi HIC2011 and claude15,
Have you been requested to translate the non-English/French stamps in your passport by a certificated translator in the test notice letter?
If it is, could you refer me a translator?
Thanks,

My local office is also Hamilton, my ecas status changed to "Decision Made" last week but still no letter for me.

Three options for you:
1) call CIC
2) order an ATIP for detailed information which takes about one month to get reply
3) contact your local MP (member of parliament)
This year is an election year, they would like help you very much if they could.

1) Just called CIC and talked to an agent..Was not really helpful since I was not past my 24 months.
2) ATIP? One month to get reply..I will read up on this to see as it is an option.
3) My local MP..Just email them and say "hey I applied for citizenship, can ya work your magic?" ;D - I'd be okay doing this one too..Haha.

I have foreign stamps on my passport, but haven't been asked for any translation.

Well have the same situation like you since june 6 and nothing change yet :(
Been waiting since I passed the test on May 27th... ecas says "decision made" since June 3rd -- no invitation yet, this highly depends on the local office and what oath ceremony dates are available.

hello every one, I'm very glad to write in this topic and participate in this topic because I need some advices if you could help me
first of all , I'm permanent resident of Canada , I landed in Canada in June 2010 , I stayed living in Montreal till august 2011 after that I went visit my family at my back home country it was a vacation for 45 days , I came back to Canada in September 2011 and moved to Calgary , I 'm still living in Calgary . I applied for my citizenship from Calgary in September 2013 . after that I went to visit my family at my home country, it was in October 2013 . I stayed in my home country till march 2014 it was long visit because my mom was sick. unfortunately , during my last visit to my country I lost all of my documents including my PR card , my social insurance number , my master card , my debit card , my Canadian driving license , my passport , my medical card and some other documents. I went to the police station in my country and I got a report that I lost all of my documents that was in February 2014, I applied for travel document to come back to Canada and I got it in march 2014, so I have now new passport of my country it is issued in February 2014 and I was lucky to come back to Canada in march 2014. when I came to Canada they sent me Rq in march 2014 and I filled it out and sent it to Cic in April 2014 , they needed it maximum 1 month to send it. but they need my old passport with stamps that I lost it but I sent with Rq some support document like police report from my home country, my medical report , my flights tickets, my study course record , taxes assessment and some other documents. my time line is application sent September 2013 , started processing January 2014 , Rq received march 2014 , Rq sent April 2014 . I'm now 21 month ago when I applied , I called Cic and they told me that I'm non routine application 36 month. I got cbsa report 2 month ago and some other documents to proof my residence in Canada from June 2010 till September 2013, I got some other documents from airlines company , my travel record from home country and I will send all of these document to support my file.
I would like to ask some questions
1 - lost of passport can affect my file and get refuse ? I tried to get all of documents to verify and prove my residence in Canada and I'm honest and truthful

2- I will be 36 month non routine application in September 2016 till this time I think I will meet with the Calgary judge but if I will pass the exam and the judge doesn't accept all of this proof and he refused my application what procedure can I take , I just expect the worst scenario?
3 proof like ( police report from my country , air line tickets , cbsa report, medical record , taxes report, study record, travel record from my home country, t4 , t5,lease of rent, bank statement , credit statements) all of these documents are not enough to convince cic officer or agent and the judge?
4- what I could do in case of the judge will refuse my application ? I should apply with the new law after 4 years?
I will be glad if you will answer me and give me some advices , I'm very patient and very glad to see your replies
kind regards

jeune, you will be fine. Don't expect your case to move fast, but don't think it will be refused. It will be approved for sure, but it will take time.
