Vancouver applicants may want to pay the parking with phone instead of coin during the test, because when BEING GIVEN OATH RIGHT AWAY AFTER TEST, don't let the party spoiled by a parking ticket. ;D

Thanks! :D

When you get your oath notice, the number on the right side of CIC's address in Vancouver is your seat no. :D
They don't check passports, if your PR card has no signature, also present your ID with signature like DL or BC card
these are the only 3 they need:
1. oath notice
2. COPR
3. PR card (which they will take :( )

CIC people said turn off the phones to not disrupt the ceremony, there was one guest that was talking loudly on the phone while the clerk of ceremony was talking, so RUDE, the CC stopped talking for a couple of seconds and turned her focus to him, he should have been kicked out of the room!

Hello Fellows,
Here is my timeline:
1) Received application: March 15, 2013.
2) Started processing: May 15, 2013.
3) Passed the test: March 19, 2014
I am still waiting. Any idea why it takes so long? I called last month they said it can take up to 6 months after the test for the oath. Before six months I can't do any thing but once the six months is passed I can call them again.
Anyone from March test is still waiting I am the only one?
thanks
