A friend of mine took exam in June 4, received notice for oath for Aug 22nd.
Wow.. 2 weeks notice only..

I think they are giving oath notice for those who took the test on Last week of May & First week of June, 2014.vbomb said:That's great! I took the test the same day, no notification so far
Hopefully soon!
Thanks for the info
should vancouver ppl approach their MPs and ask them to talk to CIC minister for more funding so the cases here can be processed faster?charmed10-2013 said:I think they are giving oath notice for those who took the test on Last week of May & First week of June, 2014.
You will have it soon. They will only give 2-3 weeks notice
Hold on
I agree. In the Discover Canada handbook, equal rights is always mentioned. Lolu4g5 said:should vancouver ppl approach their MPs and ask them to talk to CIC minister for more funding so the cases here can be processed faster?
Frankly I was very surprised that the applications in Vancouver began to be processed in a decent time-frame.In 2007-8 I use to hear my friends crib that an applicant in Surrey or Abbostsford got his application processed waaaaay faster than Vancouver applicants. I however definitely feel that Surrey should have a decent application processing speed and wonder why its lacking. With massive funding being allocated to make it as a BC hub for Bitoech and medical industry they should have put some money aside for CIC..

Who knows, most of the processes adopted by CIC are archaic and hasn't changed for decades. Maybe they needed it for some reason a long time ago and never bothered to rectify it even though we don't need it anymorevanvanvan said:I have a question coming from my curious cerebral cortex. To those who have done the Oath to become Canadian, why would they require in the letter that they gave us to bring our passport. Didn't they check that already during the time when we had our test. I understand the PR Card and COPR /IMM5688/IMM1000 as they have to take possession of such but not the rationale for the passport. Can someone share their experience during Oath day so we know what we're expecting. It's gorgeous outside!

Received on April 6th
Started processing on May 29th
I just called today and they have already done my background check and am just waiting on officer picking it up to book me in for a test. I am hoping with bill C24 turnaround will be real quick.
I heard a guy back east got his citizenship in 4 months and 2 days from when his file said started processing.
I think in vancouver we may have quite a bit more immigrants than back east though.

Hi Vbomb, I know it's archaic as you've mentioned that is why I am asking for inputs from people who have gone through the process. During the test they asked us to bring the letter, the purpose of that is for us to input our case number in our answer key not query on some computer or some sort to find it out unless you know it by heart, also in the letter the date and the time that was designated for you was there to be inputted as well . As nonsensical as it may seem, it had some use. Imagine if the officer would scan your PR card or input your file number let's say it takes 20 seconds per applicant for 100 applicants how much would that be in 1 year, it will take time specially with that much volume rather you the applicant yourself inputting it on the paper while you're already seated, less time consuming and less job for them. So anyone who had their oaths is there a relevance of us bringing the passport. Did they even touch it? Share your thoughts coz information is power. The more informed and aware people are the faster, efficient and memorable the process of becoming a Canadian would be. In the future you can also have the opportunity to volunteer and be an ambassador/guide in your community and aid those who want to pursue the same path as a form of gratitude for this country who welcomed us with open arms.vbomb said:Who knows, most of the processes adopted by CIC are archaic and hasn't changed for decades.

Same reason why we have to bring the letter indicating that we were called to test, even though it's all digitally stored in the database and a simple Client ID scan confirms who's on the list for the test that day, so all you need to bring should be your PR card
When did you apply? Time line, please.MSK7275 said:I passed my citizenship test on 15th May, 2014 and still no oath invitation. Did any one from similar timeline hear for their oath? CIC call center of no use as they give standard reply wait. I ordered GCMS report and it says judge approved on 3rd July, 2014
