September 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[zeyzey6]

Does anyone know if they respond to the email I am supposed to submit the documents and content forms to?
It looks like a unique generated email and I'd like to ask them a few questions about stamp transitions.

I was wondering the same thing as well. I also got an auto response too after sending my passport scan and content form and one of my attachments was larger than 25MB. But so far I didn't get a response. It seems like not every office has auto responses so you could try to write to them and see if they respond. I called the call centre to ask about stamp translations but my experience with them wasn't useful so I'm going to get some of my stamps translated just in case. Good luck.

Details of the ceremony:

The ceremony went smooth in a little over than an hour. No major hiccups....Just some people that don't put their mics on mute and the system bring their image to the screen (the clerk had some little issues controlling this but it ended up working good).
We cut our PR during our screening; I really like the new version of zoom with the breakout rooms, it really helps.
We were in total 54 people from Calgary region. I checked on the system today, and my status changed to CLOSED (BTW I really like the updates to the status page).

OVER AND OUT!

it's been a pleasure to expend this last 20 months with you guys!!! I hope the best to everyone here that is still waiting!!!

Congratulations. Updated the spreadsheet!

I have 4 passports to submit and it is definitely going to be more than 5BM, just sent an email to them, and no response yet.
Also paid $280 to have all the random stamps in my passports translated :S

Looks like a standard interview for checking documents and making sure you speak ok English/French.

I didn't get that request for interview, maybe because you have your family in the application? I am just applying for myself. I know interview is used to be something after you pass your citizenship test when everything needs to be done in person. But during Covid they might change in some locations?

For my case, after they checked all the requirements(presence, citizenship test, language skills(I think I submitted IELTS result) etc.) are met, they scheduled me to citizenship oath directly.

Hi, everyone! My status page shows that I have a test invite, but I haven't received the email, yet (Yes, checked all spam filters.) Does the invite come the day the test is supposed to "start", or will I get the invite beforehand?

SUPER excited, especially given that this is the Montreal office!

You'll get the invite a few days before the test.

Congrats and good luck!

Can anyone confirm, from their own recent experience, how long will it take for the official test results to be received or updated in the status tool once I’ve given the test?

I just took and passed my citizenship test... I tried loading up the verification page on Safari browser on a 2020 apple iPad and I couldn’t open the page, it didn’t work on any other browser on the iPad either like duck duck go. It did open on the MacBook but bear in mind that the picture you take of your identification has to be clear. I had that problem where the webcam was too outdated to take clear pictures and ended up using my friends gaming laptop with a newer camera in the end.
