September 2016 Citizenship Applicants

[Gussj]

Hi folks, quick question regarding to the eCAS. My status only shows as below:

We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 22, 2016. -> this is the date my application was delivered to Sydney.
We started processing your application on October 7, 2016.

There is no separate line indicate the AOR date, which I see someone had in their status as "We sent you a correspondence... and a book called 'Discover Canada'... on xxxx ". Plus I can see my home address box today as it was not there.

Just curious, is everyone seeing differently?

same here no update even after test invite. Just in process

I just noticed from the excel file that mostly people from alberta and ontario got test invites. I think quebec(montreal) and other provinces are prettty slow. What do you guys think?

It is hard to say. Couple of weeks ago many Ontario applicants in our group were struggling with not receiving IP, but now seems we picked up the pace. I think overall everyone in our group should be in same speed.

December and January will be slow again. Because of Christmas vacations.

Hi I received an email from Immigration department on October 14. It has an UIC and Application number.
How can I find out if the application is in process?

Can someone guide me on where and how I can check it.

Thanks

We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 1, 2016.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on September 14, 2016.
We started processing your application on September 16, 2016.
We sent you a notice on October 12, 2016 to appear and write the citizenship test on November 3, 2016 at 8:01 AM.

Fingers crossed!!! I'm from vancouver and i will be taking the test this Thursday morning. Hoping for the best!! Assuming everything goes well, meaning I pass the test and the citizenship officer does not ask me for further information or anything, when the "decision made" status comes out online, does that automatically mean I passed? Really can't wait. This is 7yrs in the making for me!

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR TEST & INTERVIEW
Hope every thing will be smooth for you
please update us for your experience in detail..

Thank you so much! I arrived outside the building around 7:35pm so that was still pretty early for 8am since the automatic doors didnt open until exactly 8am. When we were upstairs they told us to prepare the first page of the test invite with a valid ID and they let everyone sit down, pencil and clipboard waiting on each chair. Everyone starts the test the same time and once you're done you go to another room to wait for your name to be called for the interview. I probably finished in 6mins, I was probably the 8th person to hand in my paper. Then maybe the 4th to get interviewed. The lady who interviewed me was very friendly and just asked for my IDs, landing paper and told me I had passed the test 20/20 and she took her time to one by one check my stamps, asked me where I work, a little about my family and some trips I took. At the end she told me everything seems good and to wait for a mail for the oath more or less in 3-5 months. SO YAY! Hopefully everything is all good and the processing time wont be too long.. fingers crossed that I get updates soon. I was out of the building by 9:10AM.

Congratulation and thanks for your feedback very helpful indeed.
now in regards to the test, have you noticed which website had the closest format and question compared to the actual test? which websites helped you the most?
was the test straight forward in general or lots of tricky questions with specific dates and names that one needs to memorize ?
any feedback is appreciated
Thanks again and all the best

Thank you. I feel like the one on citizenship counts website is enough, do the 100 question one to get as many questions as possible. As long as you study the guide, you're set. There aren't any questions that aren't in there. It was easier than I expected also, nothing too tricky or specific to be honest

yes its me
