I had completed citizenship test online 3 months ago, i got an update with an email and attached pdfs saying i have been scheduled to attend an interview with our official. what is citizenship interview about? is it part of process before oath taking ceremony on the same date? they are asking to bring original documents that support my citizenship application. cant find much information on the internet. would appreciate any help thanks.
What is citizenship interview after passing citizenship test 3 months ago ?
- Thread starter countyboy
- Start date
no i have to be physically present in a location they have determined. also, they say bring all original docs thats listed in document checklist in citizenship application form... does it mean i have to print physical presence calculation, get 2 new citizenship photos?
Usually, it's a simple 5 or 10 minutes chat that every single applicant used to have before covid, right after the citizenship test, when that one wasn't online yet.
It's noting to worry about. You'll be asked generic stuff about your life (your job, where you live, your family...) and it will be an opportunity for the IRCC officer to access your language proficiency through this simple conversation.
The officer will also take the opportunity to look at your documents, and no, you don't need photos or the application itself, you need to bring your passports, IDs, PR card, proof of language.
Also, in case there's an issue with your application, like a forgotten vacation in the physical presence calculator, you'll be told about it, but let's leave that for when it happens, if it happens...

99.9% Safe and they just want to see the documents and it's random.

hopefully everything goes finethank you for help. that calmed me since none of my friends had gone through this step, had me worried
I think my wife will get an Interview as well because she made a mistake by submitting some expired documents. This happened with my friend who got several Stamps from a foreign country during his stay in Canada so the Judge needs to understand what is the reason. They think either they don't live here or some Income is affiliated.
Have seen some cases where just after interview they surprise you with physical oath ceremony
