I personally think its NOT a big deal, the individual has all the documents with name to prove about the gender.

Probably even at the time of Oath, the staff might not notice this minor mistake. At the most they might laugh it off.

Thanks for advice but i think they put gender details in citizenship certificate..i want to make sure they don't put based on form instead of looking at PR/LICENCE/PASSPORT

My test and interview in Calgary this morning went very good . Interviewer said I should expect the oath letter in 1 to 3 months from now. She was very detailed at checking my passport as she said I had applied with the minimum days. No concerns were raised at all after.

I have a question, are people still getting RQ days after the test nowadays? Or are you good if you clear the interview without getting one right there?

Thanks in advance for your input.

How many days short you were when you applied. There are many instances RQ were sent even after passing the test.

Dont want to scare you, I was'nt lucky enough. After 3.5 years of processing, submitting RQ and passing the test, my case was assigned to Citizenship judge. Judge flouted CIC's rule that says, strong ties to country, paying taxes and family residence to be considered.

Judge refused to review any of documents that justify my less than 2 months shortage. He forced me to voluntary "Withdraw" and re-apply. Had I not withdrawn, he would have rejected it anyways.....you may consider taking legal help as a precaution.

I wasn't short any days, like I said in my post, I applied with the bare minimum (1096 days).

Did the test and interview today morning with spouse. Passed the test. Nothing more to add for the preparations other that what rest of the members have said before: "Read the Discover Canada Guide". Its interesting, fun and has lot of pictures ;D. Practicing some online questions does build your confidence but reading the guide more than once if possible will be very helpful.

Couple interesting points:
1. Our timing was 9:00am and there were some candidates from the 8:00am exam for this one too. It may be dependent on the examiners and how busy it is. But if you are late for some serious reason, do punish yourself. I think a polite request to the examiners should allow you to appear for the next exam on the same day.

2. The examiner in the test hall told us that we will get the oath date in one to three months after the interview however the person who took the interview said we may hear the next update within three months. I dont know what it means but may have had similar experience (different ways of different people saying the same thing).

Anyways, good luck to ones now waiting for your tests and oaths. One step closer....

I did sit for the test along with my wife on 18-nov-2015. We did pass the exam successfully and Discover Canada book is the answer to all the questions. The interview was actually checking of the documents PR, health card, current and expired passport. The officer told us that we will hear back from them within 4/6-8 weeks by mail.

Test invitation was dated 2nd nov and we received it by 4th nov.

If you have the required minimum physical days of presence there is nothing to worry at all.

Mostly, RQ is sent only if the CIC wants to verify if the candidates actually has the total number of physical days required or has history of heavy overseas travel.

Wish you all the best.

Had my Citizenship test today. Cleared it with flying colors. 20/20 in 5 minutes. Definitely over prepared.

The officers were like the oath invitation can take any where between 1-3 months.

My husband and I took the test this morning in Calgary. We both passed! Interviewer just checked our passports and asked us if we were still working in the same job/place. Told us to expect oath taking in 1-3 months.
