[blestcheche]

so u got oath letter without passing the test? this is my question

this is what i said: my TEST and OATH are on the SAME day. so ill take the test on thursday then if i pass the test, ill have my oath the same day.

 

[jerodkillick]

how?

 

[blestcheche]

how?

Ok.. this is what the letter contains:

If you PASS the citizenship test/interview, meet all requirements, and your files is approved, you will receive an invitation to attend a citizenship ceremony in Castlegar, BC on October 2nd. If you do not pass the test and/or your application does not meet all the requirements you will NOT receive your citizenship on Oct 2nd. The CIC staff will advise you of what the next steps of the application will be.

when did Vancouver office start handing out Oath letter right after passing citizenship test?
but if it does happen, good for you

i submitted my file to vancouver but for some strange reasons (that i do not know of) my file was transferred to Calgary CIC. My letter came from the Calgary office. I called the call centre and they said that it is ok. Just have to bring my BC IDs

and for the record i wasn't expecting it either. before i got the letter i checked my ecas and it was updated saying they sent me a letter for test. so i assumed it will be in vancouver so i told my hubby to book 3 days off so we have plenty of time to drive to vancouver and all that jazz. so when i got the letter a day after i was surprised that they are doing the test and oath close to home.

i guess i lucked out. again the file seemed to be transferred to calgary but i applied in vancouver so i don't know what happened there.

I think Vancouver CIC is really trying to maintain one year application time for single applicants. Since belestcheche had her application in Sept and its now a year they have decided to have her oath and test on the same day. This will fit in well with the CIC stastistical curve.

She applied in nov, lol. but yeah.her timeline is within 12 month

and i think as long as Vancouver is able to increase the number of ceremonies each month, the process could be even shorter.

Well I heard two other similar stories long ago in Calgary office. Normally it takes so long in Calgary to schedule a test and since after August all officers can approve the file, would not be so hard to believe it is actually happening.
